Our first run is small, so once they’re gone, they’re gone 👀
Be an effortless eco icon
Did you know that 120 billion pieces of beauty packaging are thrown away each year? Pressed revives your broken powders so you can use them for longer, reducing waste!
Cute AF and cost effective
Save your pennies by re-pressing your broken powders into our cute AF and reusable Pressed compact.
Mix your vibe, your way
Got a 'makeup graveyard' backup drawer full of crumbly old faves you just can’t bring yourself to bin? Or maybe you're still hunting for that perfect shade? Whether it's a smashed bronzer or an almost-gone blush, we feel your pain. With Pressed, you can mix, match, depot and custom blend your very own shades.
Do I need rubbing alcohol?
Nope! Forget the old rubbing alcohol hack. Pressed re-presses your powder with nothing added, so your formula, colour and finish stay exactly the same. No mess, no waiting for it to dry, no formulation change.
Re-press any of your broken makeup powders!
Any size, any brand. Simply pour in your shattered bronzer, blusher, highlighter or foundation to the fill line to repress with less mess, less stress.
Here's how it works...
Just pour your broken powder into our snazzy little compact up to the fill line, twist the top, and let the magic happen! It presses your powder back together... kind of like a mini version of the machines used in makeup factories, but way cuter, and it fits in your makeup bag. Quick, easy, and oh, did I mention? No rubbing alcohol needed!
Who is Pressed for?
Pressed is for the makeup lovers, the makeup artists, the beauty minimalists, the eco babes and the girlies who are sick of wasting money on expensive makeup for it not to last. So if you’ve ever felt personally victimised by a smashed bronzer, this one’s for you babe!
Can I mix and match powders to blend my own shades?
Yes! Pressed doesn't just fix your powders. If you've smashed more than one powder in a makeup mishap (we feel for you babe 😭)? Or got a 'makeup graveyard' drawer full of backups that aren’t quite ready for the bin? Get creative and blend them into your very own custom shade.
Can I take my Pressed compact anywhere?
Absolutely! Pressed was made to come with you. It’s leak-proof, handbag friendly and designed for real life on-the-go. We’ve even built in a snazzy travel mode that locks your compact shut, so it’s ready for whatever your handbag throws at it 🔒
Powders aren't made to be pressed so hard they don’t shatter (otherwise we’d never get them on our faces!) But mishaps happen, and when they do, your powder’s already in the right place to be re-pressed. We actually love seeing Pressed compacts out in the wild, so toss it in your makeup bag and take it on all your adventures... And if you spot another Pressed girl, give her a little nod. She’s handled a makeup meltdown like a total pro 💁🏼♀️✨
Say hi to the founder..
Hi, I'm Rosie, beauty pro, serial smasher and the founder of Pressed 👋🏻
I've spent the last 15 years working in the beauty industry. I love makeup, but I hate the waste the industry creates and definitely think beauty could do a little better. I know so many people who've opened their makeup bag to find their favourite bronzer exploded like a glitter bomb, and felt the heartbreak.
For a good five years I'd had a little idea I just didn't know where to start with. Then lockdown hit. Beauty was one of the first industries to close and one of the last to reopen, so I suddenly had a lot of time on my hands and no way to work. After smashing yet another bronzer, I grabbed a tequila lid and a £2 coin and started pressing powder to finally see where this little idea could go.
That frustration (along with my utter clumsiness!) is what pushed me to create Pressed: the compact little tool I wish I'd had all those years ago. It could have saved me a lot of money and a lot of stress! Because beauty shouldn’t cost the planet...or your sanity!
