(*In the step-by-step video, I mention filling the mold to 80–90%. You can now fill it all the way to the top.)

-Not everything can or should be repressed.

-Start with matte products only.

-Practice on inexpensive or colors you may not like first.

- Expect some trial and error. Small cracks can happen and are normal. Just repress again.

-Avoid repressing baked powders like Hourglass, Mac Mineralize, Translucent powders, shimmery highlighters or shadows.
