It's late, I can't really see straight
Does the Great Impressions Eye Shadow Pressing Kit come with the Pressing Disk?
Thanks!

It does not....I used a quarter to press the vast majority of the shadows I did, and thought it worked very well.
I also like to make sure I have redundant suppliers on things, and I don't have a backup for the disks- so if they were ever out of stock we'd have to pull the kit. So we left it out.

Hi all! I was wondering if the Great Impressions pressing medium could also be used for other minerals than eye shadows? I’d love to press Equaliser and the All Purpose foundation, as this would be very convenient for travel. Has anybody tried this?
Thanks!

I didn't test it with the foundations, but I'll try to squeeze in a few sample presses this week. It's not great with Perfecting Powder, but I'm guessing it will be ok with the All Purpose Foundation.

What amount of pumps would you recommend for pressing the holo pigments like Frequency? I want to try and press mine, but was not sure since they seem quite different from regular shadows. Thanks!
