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.

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

Little bit of This and That

Partial custom, partial purchase. 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.

Her testimonial: "great swapper! she did a custom 4 pan palette for me in exchange for some of my items. (: definitely would swap with her again. (: thx so much!" - Audrey (Oak Harbor, WA)

Can you say holy grail?

This MUAer chose her colors well, especially with the ever-so-HTF LE Deckchair and Coco. 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.

Her testimonials: "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~" and "Just received my quad from Heather...it is amazing in terms of quality and soooo beautiful to look at. I love it! She is a sweet gal and so easygoing, fair, friendly, and professional. Do not hesitate to have her press your piggies!!" - Karen (Seattle, WA)
