I honestly wasn't super impressed with any of the PP's until I tried them with Too Faced Glitter Glue (Pixie Epoxy is the same product, different co/name). I apply just a tiny bit of that to my lid, let it slightly dry to a tacky base, then pop those PP's right on top of that. No fall out. More color intensity. I use this with shadow colors underneath and just on a primed lid.
So, before getting rid of them, maybe try that product. You could get a small sample of TFGG at Sephora to try before you buy. If that works for you, you could purchase that product or the Pixie Epoxy which I think is cheaper. Hope that helps doll!

Oh.... and TFGG is awesome for use with loose pigments and glitters as well!
is it really? Good to know!

I never had a a plan to pick up pink pepper because I thought it would be similar to melon pig, but seeing how everyone loved it I took the chance and have NO regrets!!! I'ts stunning and if you guys can still find it ,I def recommend piking it up!! Its my second favorite after Damson

Richelle, Erine, Dreaming Dancer & PixieDancer, Thanks so much for all of your help:)  I'll have to give it another try or two.  Dreaming Dancer, belly dancing is so very cool!  You must be good. :)  I'll have to give that look a whirl and see what happens. PixieDancer, thanks for your suggestion about the TFGG.  I actually do know about that one ..... I work at Sephora.  That is just too funny!  I think I still have a sample of it sitting around.  If not, I always have easy access to it.  I will check out your Pixie Epoxy too! Thanks everyone!  :haha:
Can you post if your tries with glitter glue and if the results work for you? I snagged a few of these but ill buy more if the tfgg helps. Another thought I had on these is layering a matte or satin over the pressed piggie to get more intensity of the tone I want to amp like purple in the Damson. Also it could decrease some of the over the top glitter if we just want a lil bit.

Well, I gave the pressed pigments another try today using a look I saw on YouTube.


The only two things I did differently was to go easier on Deep Damson in the crease and to use Nylon below the brow bone only. Here is my rendition.

Sorry for the somewhat odd look on my face. I was looking down and a little off to the side using my iPhone. I had to look down a bit so you will be able to see my eyelids at all. :)
