  • With your fingers, scoop one color into a small container, pressing the powder down to fill half of the container.
  • Top the container with another color.
  • Again, use your fingers to compress the powder, ensuring an even distribution and filling the container.
  • Repeat for the other container, using the remaining two colors.
