Mixing Medium...

[baby_love]

I would. but put the primer on first (duhhhhhh that was a dumb thing to say haha)

how to use it...
You can put a drop or two on a petri dish or a place and dip your brush in pigment or eyeshadow and then mix it around in the liquid and apply it. it makes the color more intense and when you're mixing pigments together to create a unique color, it makes it easier and more flawless in itself. If that made any sense at all.

I believe you can use it to mix with pigments to make colored mascara...

Question about mixing medium

I just bought my first bottle of water base mixing medium after trying a sample. I got the bottle through ebay though since this is a Pro store product.

In the bottle, there are two little steel looking beads floating at the bottom. Please tell me that's in every bottle, lol. If so, what are they for? Thanks.

 

[canadiangirl_1117]

Just for maintaining an equal mixture throughout the bottle when you shake it before use.

Mine has them too.

 

[afterglow]

Yeap, they're just ball-bearings for mixing. They have them sometimes in nail polish, too.

 

[Jennifer Mcfly]

yup, they are supposed to be in there

 

[mspixieears]

Just merged this newer thread with another one on water-based MM.

Mixing Medium...Lash

So Im going to get the lash mixing medium....i cant wait! I called a Pro store to ask about it though..cause I wanted to know how different the lash and eye medium was. I basically asked if I could use the lash mm as eyeliner..and she said no because they are made with completely different things. Hmm..has anyone ever tried this? I would think if its not exact they are close enough??? any thoughts??

 

[Turbokittykat]

If you want to use it as eyeliner why not just buy eyeliner mixing medium?

lol....true. well i only wanted to get one on them...and i prefer the lash mm over the eyeliner one. i figured i have a ton of eyeliners, but i dont have colored mascaras..and its not worth buying several tubes for a few uses..and so i figured it would kill 2 birds with one stone...u know. i was just curious as to exactly how different the two are. maybe ill just have to get both..LOL

I would imagine the lash mixing medium would be alot thicker.

Mixing medium

What is the function? Does it make eyeshadow looks brighter? And what the advantages using it?

 

[koolmnbv]

You can mix this clear liquid,with pigments or other eyeshadows to make the eyeshadow brighter and more vibrant/metallic looking , you can either lightly dampen your brush w. this and then get some pigment or e/s on your brush and apply or you can mix a lil medium w. some pigment in a seperate area jar whatever you want and make like a little liquid shadow mixture. I love water based mixing medium. They also make mixing medium for mascara you can mix the mascara m/m w. pigments to make colored mascaras and they make M/M eyeliner it will obviously make pigments into eyeliners and they make it in other formulas as well. like m/m body and m/m alcohol based , but if you buy this for eyes and eyeshadows make sure you don't buy alcohol based it will dry your eyes out terribly and it will more than likely burn.(make sure it is water based)

Mixing Medium

tia!

 

[pumpkincat210]

You can order over the phone from www.macpro.com The pro site only lets members order online at this point.
you could also try ebay, but its more expensive there.

 

[martygreene]

MACs mixing medium is a PRO item. You can order it via the phone, or purchase in person at a MAC PRO store. Unless you are a PRO card holder, you cannot purchase this online.

Other brands do make mixing mediums, such as Mehron and Ben Nye. These brands can be purchased online, at mehron.com and wyb.com respectively.
