Wow people getting overly aggressive about a nail polish tip!!! I think it is pretty pathetic. Just think for every lunatic you have 100 fans who love your blog ♥

i kno this is an old post, i jus happened to stumble upon it while searching. i recently discovered loose mineral eyeshadows on etsy and i love them, but i just CANNOT handle the mess! it’s definitely not for quick or precise application which is usually what i need. i do my makeup and run out the door. i just wanted to ask you, if i press my pigments myself with the alcohol/glycerin mixture recommended online, would i be ruining or changing the pigments in any way? it seems not to affect anything but its form in the online tutorials, but i’d feel much better hearing it from a makeup PROFESSIONAL. i just don’t want to ruin the color or how it’s supposed to look. all i want is a cleaner application with no fallout and to not waste any of my pigment when it falls or flies all over the place. mineral shadows are prettier, but pressed shadows are more convenient. please help! <3 Sarah

What a great tip on how to rejuvenate a tired make up brush. I will definitely try that.
Thanks Karen

Thanks for the tips, Karen! I knew about the eyeshadow trick, but not about the other two. I wish I had known about the plier trick earleir, though, since I just tossed a (admittedly old) brush out last week since the bristles were all weak. Oh well , at least I know for next time.

…and don’t feel bad about putting the smack down if you have to…this is your blog and it should be a happy place.
