A palette like this should be illegal! This professional MUA/Etsy member perfected a combination of earlier projects and added HG after HG. Everything a makeup addict can want and much more.

After a depotting incident, I repressed Sumptuous Olive eyeshadow by crushing and using the same pressing process as I do with regular pressed pigments. Scatterrays Solar Bits was a bit of a challenge as it's very, very chunky and dry compared to regular MAC pigments. There are binders in it already so all you really need is 91% isopropyl alcohol.<br /><br />However, Rose Gold Metal does NOT have any binders. After the liquid metal dries, it'll crumble and chunk off after you press it down. With a little help, I used MAC PRO Mixing Medium Face & Body as my medium with alcohol. This is by far the best binder for mineral makeup like Bare Escentuals, plus MAC matte pigments, MAC metal pigments, NYX, etc. Unfortunately it is currently not available in PRO stores to this day as MAC is "repackaging" it (I've asked NYC, Chicago, and LA locations).<br /><br />Then a couple of my fave VHTF pigments are Deckchair (A15) and Coco Beach (A43). Both of which, I paid an excruciating amount of money for authentic original jars. Believe me... they're worth every penny. Or I might just crave the hunt.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/pls/makeupmac2pressedpigmentsquad01.jpg"><br />Sumptuous Olive Eyeshadow, Scatterrays Solar Bits, Deckchair Pigment, Rose Gold Metal Pigment<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/pls/makeupmac2pressedpigmentsquad012.jpg"><br />Deckchair, Rose Gold Metal<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/pls/makeupmac2pressedpigmentsquad013.jpg"><br />Sumptuous Olive Eyeshadow, Scatterrays Solar Bits<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/pls/makeupmac2pressedpigmentssunnydazecocobeach.jpg"><br />Sunnydaze, Coco Beach<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/pls/makeupmac2pressedpigmentsblondesgoldyourladyship.jpg"><br />Blonde's Gold, Your Ladyshipheathalynnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06953230049348853742noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2050688839072240558.post-87725639686509442822009-08-02T07:18:00.000-07:002009-09-04T14:57:06.584-07:00Princess AuroraSleeping Beauty went from Briar-Rose's brownish rags to Princess Aurora's gorgeous pink gowns. A perfect mix of neutrals and warm tones. Best in the palette include Deckchair, Sweet Sienna, Tea Time, Naked, and Shimmertime. There are 2 pigments that need longer drying time than the rest. That includes Apricot Pink and Dark Soul. Apricot Pink tends to leak out on the sides if pressed shorter than the usual 2 hours. Dark Soul will soak up the black so it'll turn grey. The longer you wait, the more true black it'll be.<br /><br />Her testimonials, "<em>Oh em gee. I am in love. With u and the pigments!! I am sooo happy!

From cool greens to warm pinks. Helium is one of the most chunkiest pigments known to MAC. This is the reason why the hetchmarks look a bit bigger than the others. When pressed, it's much easier to apply and has this beautiful iridescent finish. Even though it's chunky, I use the same 91% isopropyl alcohol to bind it.<br /><br />Her testimonials: <em>"damn girl you are talented!!! those shadows are fantastic! thank you."</em> and <em>WOW! that is the only thing i can say besides amazing! these shadows are soooo rich and amazing!!! super fast shipping! thank you</em> <strong><em>- Teresa (Houston, TX)</em></strong><br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/pls/makeupmac7pressedpigmentsTeresaEllis.jpg"><br />Pinked Mauve, Helium, Circa Plum, Deep Blue Green, Blonde's Gold, Mauvement, Pastorale<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/pls/makeupmac7pressedpigmentsTeresaEllis2.jpg"><br />Deep Blue Green, Blonde's Gold, Mauvement, Pastorale<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/pls/makeupmac7pressedpigmentsTeresaEllis3.jpg"><br />Mauvement, Pastorale<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/pls/makeupmac7pressedpigmentsTeresaEllis4.jpg"><br />Deep Blue Green, Blonde's Gold<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/pls/makeupmac7pressedpigmentsTeresaEllis5.jpg"><br />Pinked Mauve, Helium, Circa Plum<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/pls/makeupmac7pressedpigmentsTeresaEllis6.jpg"><br />Pinked Mauve, Helium<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/pls/makeupmac7pressedpigmentsTeresaEllis7.jpg"><br />Professional black labelsheathalynnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06953230049348853742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2050688839072240558.post-718790401134711382009-07-20T03:03:00.000-07:002009-08-16T03:08:42.569-07:00Little Twin Stars in Mid-AutumnLala from Little Twin Stars loves Autumn! With pinks, purples and blues to rich warm browns, oranges and tans carefully placed inside 2 x 15 pro pan palettes. Milk, Kitschmas, Lovely Lily, and Helium look like very similar in the jar but when pressed, you can see the difference. I will forever love this woman. She is the epitomy of MAC pigment collections (majority of this was her own). And to think, this is "only" 20.26% of the entire MAC pigment list in the sidebar. MAC created 153 colors and in total, she has approximately 35% of it pressed... with more pressed pigments to come. She is also the owner of the Neapolitan palette from back in May.

This MUA/ST member is back for more and created one of my favorite combinations. For work, I typically use Coco Beach in the crease and Blonde's Gold as a lid wash with Naked to highlight. Something about Coco Beach is just breathtaking. It's not your common brown. I find myself grabbing for Naked 90% of the time (yes, it's that good). Very sophisticated quad. <br /><br />Her testimonials: <em>"everything is perfect thank you SO much.... I can't wait to swap again! I'm thinking of doing quads for my friends for xmas too. they are too pretty."</em> and "<em>Another great swap with Heather! She is one of the best swappers EVER and is so generous and caring.

She also got the last of my Sunpepper, one of the most requested. I have yet to figure out the secret behind pressing Sweet Sienna. What do I do differently? Since I heard it bled, I usually mix faster than normal but with a lighter hand. I also let it dry 1-2 hours so the blue soaks into the cloth (sometimes there's no blue at all, sometimes it's sparingly blue, sometimes it's saturated). It never stays on the eyeshadow in my experience. Goldenaire on the otherhand, it's always more pink than peach/gold.<br /><br />Her testimonials: <em>"My compact just arrived and it's absolutely GORGEOUS! I'm going out with my girls tonight for tapas and I can't wait to try the colors out! Thanks, Heather!...beautiful craftsmanship! I'll be in touch for another soon!"</em> and <em>"Seller was extremely informative, knowledgeable, answered all my questions promptly and shipped very promptly.

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.<br /><br />Her testimonials: <em>"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.

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.<br /><br />Her testimonials: "<em>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!

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.<br /><br />Her testimonials: "<em>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</em>." and "<em>I was lucky enough to have Heather press some pigments for me, and was literally blown away when I received the finished product.

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.<br /><br />Her testimonials: <em>"Swapped 4 a gorgeous palette - PURE PERFECTION! :) Don't miss out on her awesome pressed pigments!

This quad contains one of my favorite VHTF HG pinks, Shimmertime. She sent 2 samples thinking they were 1/4-1/2 tsp. Low and behold... they were < 1/4 tsp. The labels had the recognizable font from thebodyneeds. This is probably my last straw with TBN as they seem to get skimpier and skimpier with their "1/4 tsp" samples.<br /><br />Her testimonial: "<em>great swapper! she did a custom 4 pan palette for me in exchange for some of my items.

Both being my own HGs and hers as well. On a side note, beware of fake Deckchairs that are strictly pink from 2007. Real Deckchair is a true peach pink from 2005 (A15). Chocolate Brown and Tan are the most requested as well, being part of the permanent line where more people are familar with. This quad is love.<br /><br />Her testimonials: "<em>Just returned from the mailbox and LOVE your pigments!! Beautiful, beautiful, I can't stop staring at them, and you're right, those colors do look great together. Thank you for filling up the Choc Brown and Tan so high. You are awesome</em>~" and "<em>Just received my quad from Heather...it is amazing in terms of quality and soooo beautiful to look at. I love it!

She brought on a challenge that almost threw me completely off. Kohl liner turned cake liner. It took about 2 hours to open, press, AND repress L'Oreal HIP Kohl. I underestimated the task after a couple MUAers posted like it was nothing. It will save you a lot of time if you break off the plastic part from the beginning, THEN pry out the stopper. HIP Kohl needs several hours more for drying time vs regular MAC pigments. The texture also takes twice as long to mix and bind with 91% isopropyl alcohol.<br /><br />Her testimonials, "<em>everything looks so awesome! i'm taken aback by the amount of time, effort and artistry that mustve gone into all the pressing!</em>", "<em>Your pigments are the most perfectly pressed ones I've ever seen! Now that I have everything all nicely lined up in my palette, they all just look so much prettier and so much more accessible, and not to mention so much neater too! It's really great having everything pressed and put into one palette, and everything looks so lovely!

Talk about 15 scoops of Neapolitan ice cream with 4 colorful sprinkles on top. Doesn't it look delicious? This is my favorite project as of yet. A lot of time, effort, and dedication was put into both palettes. All filled with HGs beyond HGs. Majority were custom from this <em>Queen of Pigments</em> stash, couple were purchased from here. I didn't expect it all to flow so nicely together till the end.<br /><br />Her testimonials, "<em>SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! I love it! Absolutely love it</em>!", "<em>You really out did yourself!

Combined, it reminds me of Autumn fall leaves when they first change color. Speaking of color, this quad displays how similar Chocolate Brown and Goldstroke are in real life. Yet several people either puirchased or swapped for both colors together. Same brightness of brown except Chocolate has more reddish tones and Goldstroke is more muted.<br /><br />Her testimonials: "<em>Thank you so much, Heather! I received my quad yesterday and it is absolutely gorgeous. The texture of the pressed pigments is like a dream and the color payoff is fantastic! I'm soo happy with them.</em>" and "<em>Heather is a model MUAer! Excellent communication, amazing pressed pigments and all in all, a perfect swap!

I've never tried to crush/repress and never tried matte. 2) MAC Fairylite from the Hollidazzle collection in 2002. I never pressed pigments older than 2006. Turns out Becca was more amazingly well than expected and binds well with 91% isopropyl alcohol. But Fairylite didn't bind as well as I had hoped. It seemed a little dry compared to more recent pigments. In the end, the quad is gorgeous! Her testimonials, "<em>It's lovely. The Becca does look gorgeous!

She created another beautiful quad and completed her other one with Dark Soul and Chocolate Brown. Mauvement, Chocolate Brown, and Sunpepper seem to be the most requested/pressed out of these 6. Yet my favorites are Tea Time, Mauvement, and Your Ladyship. Call me different.<br /><br />Her testimonials: "<em>My palettes are even more beautiful then I imagined!!!!! You rock!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much again</em>.", "<em>Got ANOTHER palette from Heather! SOOO beautiful with lovely extras. One of my fav swappers. Don't miss a chance to swap with this lovely lady one of my MUA faves! Thanks again you're the best</em>!", and in response to spoiler pics, "<em>SEND OVER THE PICS!!!!! lol they NEVER compare to what it looks like in person anyways, they are much more beautiful in person</em>!" <em><strong>- Krystal (Pittsburgh, PA)</strong></em><br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/closet/makeupmac6pressedpigmentsswtlilqtk2nd3.jpg"><br />Sunpepper, Tea Time, Mauvement, Your Ladyship (closed)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/closet/makeupmac6pressedpigmentsswtlilqtk2nd2.jpg"><br />Mauvement, Your Ladyship<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/closet/makeupmac6pressedpigmentsswtlilqtk2nd.jpg"><br />Sunpepper, Tea Time, Mauvement, Your Ladyship<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/closet/makeupmac6pressedpigmentsswtlilqtk2nd4.jpg"><br />Sunpepper, Tea Time<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/closet/makeupmac6pressedpigmentsswtlilqtk2nd5.jpg"><br />Professional Black Labels<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/closet/makeupmac6pressedpigmentsswtlilqtk2nd6.jpg"><br />Sunpepper, Tea Time, Mauvement, Your Ladyship (side angle)<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/closet/makeupmac6pressedpigmentsswtlilqtk2nd7.jpg"><br />Dark Soul, Chocolate Brownheathalynnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06953230049348853742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2050688839072240558.post-87792883300146602972009-04-30T05:27:00.000-07:002009-08-05T12:51:42.546-07:00Perfection!Oh my, how gorgeous is this quad? One of my favorite quads yet. This is a custom press for a MUA member. I need to get a hold of Dark Soul or Black Ore (Solar Bits is being repromoted this Summer!). It contains my HG Sweet Sienna, VHTF sans blueish cast or color change. People say Mauvement is a PITA to press b/c of color change and it crumbles, had neither of the 2 problems. But I found Dark Soul to be worse. Not so much the texture but the coloring. At first it came out dark silver, so I had to change up the timing in order to capture true to jar. Repressed and it came out closer to a dark gunmetal black. Her testimonials: <em>"...Im sooo happy! Gosh its even more amazing in real life than it was in pictures! You are soo talented!..."</em> and <em>"Heather is AWESOME! She's very talented & very thoughtful about her work! This is hands down my favorite quad by far! <3333333 your work. ..."</em> <em><strong>- Sally (Boston, MA)</strong></em><br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/closet/makeupmac4pressedpigmentssalllyyx3.jpg"><br />Dark Soul, Mauvement, Sweet Sienna, Vanilla<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/closet/makeupmac4pressedpigmentssalllyyx32.jpg"><br />Sweet Sienna, Vanilla<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/closet/makeupmac4pressedpigmentssalllyyx33.jpg"><br />Dark Soul, Mauvement<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/closet/makeupmac4pressedpigmentssalllyyx34.jpg"><br />Vanilla<br /><br /><img src="http://www.extralaces.com/closet/makeupmac4pressedpigmentssalllyyx35.jpg"><br />Professional Black Labelsheathalynnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06953230049348853742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2050688839072240558.post-27557568532597773352009-04-26T22:56:00.001-07:002009-06-21T23:08:18.008-07:00For Sale<strong>Drop down menu has been removed.<br />Please visit:</strong> <a href="http://heathalynne.etsy.com" target="_blank">http://heathalynne.etsy.com</a><br /><br />The following colors listed below are available for sale.
