Mixing medium recipe:
TOOLS
1) Glycerin, found at any drug store. Can be bought at Rite Aid for $4.99 (6 fl.oz)
2) Small container (this is where you will store your mixing medium)
3) Water
Use a small measuring cup, such a as medicine cup and start mixing. For every one part glycerin, use three times as much water. Shake it up and voila! Homemade Mixing Medium.
Example 1/4 Tablespoon of Glyercin
3/4 Tablespoon of Water
Larger Scale Example
1 Cup Glyercin
3 Cups Water
You can use this to mix with your powdered shadows and MAC pigments, mix some together on the back of your hand and then apply to lid.
-Create a more intense shadow- Loose or in pot
( Becareful not to mess up your shadow pot, only use 1/4-1/2 side of your shadow pot to avoid the whole thing getting wet.)
-Great for eyeliner
-Great for small glitter applications
I just have to say, I just mixed up some brush cleanser and it works FANTASTIC! I sprayed all of my brushes with it, ran it under some water and you would not believe how clean my brushes are. Much cleaner than they ever were with baby shampoo. I haven't used a foundation brush much with my foundation because I always have so much trouble getting baby shampoo to rinse and I have to wash it every single time that I use it. Now I'll be able to spray this brush cleanser on, rinse it super quick (really, barely anything to rinse with this formula) and lay it out to dry. Thank you so much makeupfreak! Now I just need to find a pharmacy that sells glycerin as I haven't been able to find it here lately.
Oh! Also, when I spray it on the brushes, I take a white towel that I don't care too much about and gently wipe my brushes on it before rinsing. You should see the amount of makeup that this stuff gets out!
