    Hey Bob,

    After your response I look into few other places even found a few places outsourced that sells the equipment.  Unfortunately for now to cut my cost I am going to withhold for that FOR NOW. I’m doing everything by hand now just so i can get an Idea on what needs to be done etc, Now i’m not doing in major batch sizes. So I am okay with the process of manually hand pressing it. Its more then the less for me to get the idea of my next move. But I have received quotes, and sometime next year I will be buying the equipment.

    Thanks for the response Belassi. I am fairly new into this is there anything else other than a machine I can use even if i have to do it manual. I brought from a website “Pressing ribbon” and I can manually do this into the press powders. But as I searched to see if there is anything out there with a different pattern or design it seems I cant find anything.

    Hey Bob, by the way thank you for advice. Ive come up with another formula and its great. 

    Okay so I am down to the pressing stages with my powders.  Right when they are in the pan I want there to be a symbol or design that is embedded into the product. Now I know within due time once the product is used the Design/logo will be non existent.  I am just looking for there to be a design symbol, something that makes it distinctive to the client. I’ve attached a link to a product that looks as what I am describing.

    Thank you bob. I searched for starting formulas for the particular product I am producing but haven’t had any success in it finding some. Its not a Blush im making nor does it have the same kind of pigmentation as eye shadow. So I am kind of on my own with this. But I have been incorporating sample formulas for the base in which lead me to the ingredients I am currently using. I have ordered some tools to try. I read a lot of your comments in other discussions and took notes. Thank you for that. I am going to try the way you mention and keep you updated with the success of it.

    Thanks Zolveria, I ordered a grinder. I normally mix the Mica during the last phase so that I do not disrupt the effects it gives off. Now I have heard of rice powder being a additive. I normally see this particular ingredient in luxury brands. Do you think this would be a good substitution in place of the Kaolin Clay? I have a sample of it in my stash but never thought to use it.
