Rimmel Stay Matte and NYC Color Wheel Mosaic fit the larger ones, and the smaller ones may take a standard size powder pan from a drugstore compact. Moisten the powder with very little alcohol, to form a stiff dough, and press it firmly into the powder pan or the compact, to reduce shrinkage and cracking of the powder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-49688988763857539612009-08-12T05:21:07.968-07:002009-08-12T05:21:07.968-07:00what a great post! i've always wonderes how to...what a great post! i've always wonderes how to do that!Privatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018596012893869692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-27094221073898007532009-07-14T16:59:02.918-07:002009-07-14T16:59:02.918-07:00I love airspun, but I'd never think to do this...I love airspun, but I'd never think to do this!! <br />Now I need to start looking for a vintage compact!<br /><br />For my airspun I punch holes in the plastic with a pin, it gives it that sifter effect.
