Bridal Shower Bonanza

This bride-to-be is a repeat client that had one of my most interesting projects, 5 beautiful quads as prizes for her bridal shower! She requested 4 custom quads and purchased 1 Pressed Like Shadow quad. It was an honor to do such a memorable gift. People have asked me to do presents and do wedding guest looks, though I would have to say this was the most unique. Since she had so many quads, I opted to create black labels with the color names on the back of each quad box.

Her testimonials: "There are no words to capture how striking her work is. Every pigment Heather has pressed for me has come out…beyond amazing! Her craftsmanship is surpassed only by the care & attention she puts into her presses & packaging - a thousand thank yous!", "OMG!!! I seriously can NOT stop staring at the palettes. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I know that I got the pigments pressed and palettes for gifts, but, they are sooooooooooooo pretty, I don’t know if I can part with them. They are…perfectly pressed! Every one of them. If it were even possible, you have outdone yourself – I’m completely floored.", "So pretty and so professional looking, and beautifully packaged! Thank you." - Frances (San Francisco, CA)

Rich colors, Your Majesty?

These colors are so rich, it's as if they were made for a Queen! This MUA/ST member purchased divine colors from the Overrich and Antiquitease collection mixed with beautiful purples. Ms. Rose Gold gave me quite a hard time as she's very finely milled. Metal pigments also require more pigment since they turn into metal liquid when mixed. With a little bit of MAC PRO Mixing Medium Face & Body, it'll work.

Her testimonials: "Fabulous swap with Heather! She sent me some great custom made palettes & wishlist extras. I was totally floored by her professionalism and skill. I can't wait to swap again!", "OMG I love them!!! I can't freaking wait, thank you SO much!! AMAZING! wooo hooooooo. You did an awesome job, thank you thank you thank you!!!", and "omggggggggggg I g ot them today, they are even prettier in person! thank you so much. everything is perfect and the extras are wonderful! you are the BEST. ... yayyy i'm so excited thank you!!" - Brooke (Western PA)

Highlight Central

This MUA member, freelance makeup artist, purchased a few doubles and a ton of highlights. She also purchased Naked (not shown). Plated as if you're seeing a mirror image. Seeing the double colors shows the consistency of my work. Vanilla (left 2 corners) and Pink Opal (right 2 corners) look like dupes but if you look closely and move around, you'll see the pink duochrome on Pink Opal. Beautiful choices.

Her testimonials: "Heather, it was waiting for me when I got home.. I was SO EXCITED! Thank you, your work is SPLENDID! I am going to leave you a token now! Thank you for it all! I love it", "your work is BEAUTIFUL, i am so jealous! LOL. ... Your pigments helped SO much so thanks again!", "Constant communication, wonderfully packaged & great extras. Please don't hesitate to swap with Heather-- she is AMAZING!" - Megan (Queens, NY)

The Four PITAs

Not only did she request a custom pressed quad for 4 most wanted colors, all 4 are common PITAs! Majority who press Sweet Sienna and Mauvement fail due to color changes. Both tend to have a bluish cast after it's dried, some worse than others. Pinked Mauve tends to turn into a purplish color half the time. Sunpepper has a different mixing ratio due to it being a duochrome chunky pigment. They all have their little tricks to get them true to jar.

Her testimonials: "I got my package and I'm just in shock. You really are a pro. You would never know these were once loose pigments. Such quality work. Thank you also for the generous extras. I've been dying to try both the pigments you included." and "I was lucky enough to have Heather press some pigments for me, and was literally blown away when I received the finished product. Professional, quality job. you would never know these were once loose pigments..You rock Heather:)" - Allison (North Carolina)

More sprinkles, please

This lovely MUAer duped a quad from one of my previous famous projects. She loved colors more than neutrals lately and went for it. Her Circa Plum is somewhat similar to the OP's Quietly. Both beautiful mid-tone purples.

Great communication, superfast shipping - wrapped nicely & awesome extras. :) She's very sweet, generous & professional - would love to swap again!! :)", "i just received the palette today and was so excited when i opened it up - pure perfection! :) i just left a nice token for you. thank you so much for the palette", "you have an awesome talent!! i'd love to swap again in the future." - Elleyn (Chicago, IL)
