I use a brand called Mehron (similar to Ben Nye & Kryolan). The product is called "Mixing Liquid" - 4 oz. for $6.00. The stuff is great.

I have a mixing medium but now I don't remember if it's water- or alcohol- based. I assume it must be the alcohol one as a few people I worked complained that it had a burning sensation, especially when I used it around the eye area. I don't use it much anymore as for me paints used under pigments work more easily.
Actually I bought the mixing medium in the first place to make glitter stick. Unfortunately I didn't find it worked very well, the formula dries too fast and the glitter doesn't spread evenly. Though it was good to make a glitter liquid eyeliner.
Anyone knows a good product to make glitter stick (preferably not cream-based as that tends to crease)? Thanks for the help.

I had to bump this thread so I could tell everyone about my discovery. I had a tube of lash mixing medium, but I had only used it a few times to make glitter mascara. I found it the other day and thought to myself that it might make a good base for mascara. I put a thin strip along a disposable mascara wand and brushed it into my eyelashes before applying mascara. Not only did it curl, thicken and lengthen my lashes, it seems to keep the mascara in place all day with no smudging or clumping. This is absolutely the best lash primer I have ever used. It looks like I have fake lashes on. I

The alcohol based mixing medium isn't recommended for use around the eyes so if you're not sure whether yours is the alcohol or water one, perhaps it's better to stay on the safe side and not use it around the eyes. You ought to be able to smell the alcohol in the alcohol based mixing medium so give it a sniff and decide.
Ben Nye does a glue specifically for glitters. Oddly enough, it's called "Glitter Glue". That may well be your best bet. If you can't get it in Belgium, you can order from Screenface in London.

I have heard of folks using visine and having great results.
I have also used and loved transformer from paula dorf. it is marketed for use as an eyeliner medium, but I have used it with pigments/shadows and brow powder for years. a little goes a long way,and it is pricey, but it is great stuff.

Propylene gylcol mixes with water but is a pure chemical in its own right. It attracts moisture and doesn't dry so it's not really appropriate to use it neat as a mixing medium.

EZR by mac is really great for an eye-area mixing medium. its actually an eye-specific skincare gel, but holds pigments and glitters to the skin. water based mixing medium works ok, though i find it a bit too thin to work with. i keep wanting to get eyeliner mixing medium, but the LA pro store has been out of it foreverrr.
