I recently depotted my MAC carbon eyeshadow. The next day i went to use it and the pigment is all gone in it! i can barley get any color! Have any of you ever had this problem?
That’s super weird. . . What depotting method did you use?
The same as She did in the Youtube vid!
did it get a layer of film or did the top layer harden somehow? maybe if you scraped it gently to get the top layer off you’d get color?
I’ve depotted several eyeshadows, as well as a couple of blushes, and have never had that problem.
Was the pigmentation there before you depotted?
I depotted around 100 Mac shadows and never had this problem. Did you get alcohol on the eyeshadow? I use 91% alcohol to remove the glue from the bottom of the pan. But still, I haven’t had this problem.
You probably let the eyeshadow on the straightener for too long, or the upper part of the tool was too close to the eyeshadow and the heat sealed it.
Try scraping the top layer, it should be better. What I do when I depot is put a cooking sheet on top of the eyeshadow as well as underneath so the powder gets a bit of protection from the heat as well.
