    This thread is making me really really want to try Isononyl Isononanoate (and) Ethylhexyl Isononanoate. Anyone know of any other places to purchase this besides ULP? Somewhere with no MOQ ? Thanks in advance:)

    Thanks so much for your reply, I currently do get most of my ingredients and materials from TKB but unfortunately they only have like 3 duochrome  pigments and no multi-chrome pigments. I didn’t think it would be as hard to find multi-chrome pigment in bulk as it has been for me. I have found some from Alibaba but the cost of shipping it is so expensive it’s like almost the cost of what I would pay for the pigment to in shipping to ship it here. I am just not ready to make that expensive of a purchase because of the fact I don’t have my formula right, as I stated earlier I have been having such difficulties, every pressed powder I formulate comes out hard with little to no color payoff, I have used the exact ingredients of several different highly successful indie multichrome pressed shadow brand and mine just never turn out like theirs, I have done hours and hours of research, watched videos of those companies mix their pigments and then did mine the same type of way and I still end up with a hard shadow that has no color payoff and doesn’t barley swatch at all. So if I somehow manage to master my formula then maybe I can invest in multichrome pigment from Alibaba, but until then I keep trying a different formula hoping it will come out to that shiny wet look pressed multichrome pigment that swatches beautifully :)
