MAC FAQ: Mixing medium formulas
Mixing Medium/Water-Base
A clear viscous liquid mixing medium, much like the old stand-by mixing mediums from theatrical cosmetic companies such as Mehron and Ben Nye. Safe for use in the eye area, and the entire body. Comes in a 50ml bottle/1.7 fl oz bottle (same size as the Studio Moisture Fix, Select Tint, etc.). $15 USD

Mixing Medium/Alcohol-Base
A clear gel mixing medium, akin to spray-on hair gel in texture. Even once mixed with other products, this ultra light gel dries quickly upon application with minimal transference and great wear. For use on body, from neck down. Not for use in the eye area. Comes in a 50ml bottle/1.7 fl oz bottle (same size as the Studio Moisture Fix, Select Tint, etc.). $15 USD

Mixing Medium/Face and Body
A milky, semi-opaque, liquid mixing medium. Similar in texture to the Face and Body foundation. It offers sheer, even coverage and long-wearing attributes. Can be used to create custom body lotions or use to thin down foundations including creme foundations. Used alone it creates a satin glow on the skin. For use anywhere on the body, including face and eye-area. Comes in a 50ml bottle/1.7 fl oz bottle (same size as the Studio Moisture Fix, Select Tint, etc.). $15 USD

Mixing Medium/Eyeliner
A colorless, translucent creme mixing medium for the creation of customized eyeliner shades. Non-irritating and suitable for all skin types. It is packaged in a small tube (similar to the MAC PRO Gloss size). $11 USD

Mixing Medium/Lash
A colorless mixing medium base that can be used to create unique customized shades on the lashes. It is packaged in a small tube (similar to the MAC PRO Gloss size) for quick and easy blending. Mixing Medium Lash provides superior adherence of color, plus extended wear, curl and lengthening. It also strengthens and conditions the lashes and is suitable for all skin types. $11 USD

Mixing Medium/Gel
A clear, alcohol based gel, for the greation of large quantities of body paint, or for creating glitter gels for hair effects. Very similar to a medium to firm hold hair gel in consistancy. Humidity and water resistant. Comes in a 120ml/4 fl oz. bottle, the same size as the Face and Body foundation. $20 USD

Re: MAC FAQ: Mixing medium formulas
Thank you so much for posting this info! Very helpful information - I definitely want to try the mixing medium for lashes

*edited* sorry I just wanted to say after discussing with Enkoremakeup on youtube, homemade mixing medium with 1 part glycerin and 3 parts water is safe for eyes because the glycerin is diluted enough. Just don't use the glycerin in its pure form w/o any water because that is not safe for eyes.
