Through following links from place to place, I ended up on youtube and found this depotting video tutorial from a guy named Koren. He doesn't use any form of heat, only wire cutters to cut the plastic casing and alcohol to melt the glue. Has anyone seen this method? I've been going through the tutorial section and haven't seen any like it so I thought I would throw it out there and see what you guys think.
Here's the link to the video:

I came across good ol' Koren (?) the other day. His tutorials are well thought out, informative, and professional. Great tips! Not all of us like burning our fingers in the name of FREE MAC PRODUCTS! Well, on second thought...

[sassychix]

yea Koren.. thats how he came up with EnKore
n this depotting without heat is WAY COOL! i MUST try!

[makeupgal]

Wow! I didn't know you could do it this way. I agree that the fumes are horrible, so this is way safer. Thanks for posting this.

[Jenlai]

Oh wow!!! Thanks! I've been wanting to depot, but didn't want to deal with the hassle and danger of the heat!

[Aevalin]

I've done this - it's so freaking easy!! It was my first depot ever and the whole process took like 5 minutes!

[makeba]

Ah this is sweet. I was looking at one of my eyeshadow pots trying to figure out how to depot without heat. i will have to go by this method

[anaaliyahfan03]

oh i saw this a few weeks ago..awsome!...i just need to know where to get those circular magnets and those circular sticky things to write on the label then i am straight

Update: I tried this method and it really works. It was nice not to have to make my shadows hover over a candle. I depotted about 10 shadows, but I have to admit, I did break two of my brand new Smoke Signals shadows as I was prying them out (broke Thunder and Cumulus). I think I needed to wait a little longer for the alcohol to really break down the glue. So keep this in mind when doing this ladies/gents. I love Enkore's tuts. I did the lipstick holder with the cardboard and put my lipglasses in it. It's great!

[gazza]

really nice!!! i'm definitely going to try it!

a little tip: instead of alcohol you can also use nail lacquer remover, sometimes it dissolves the glue better than alcohol, imho!

wow thanks for the link..its much better than the candle or heat

Hmm... I don't like the paring knife he use (or any kind of X-acto knife). I know I'd cut myself using this method and there's a much higher risk of damaging your pans as you pry them out of the plastic.

I've noticed that even amongst different MAC eyeshadow pots sometimes there's only a dab of glue, and sometimes there's a shload of it so it's hard to know when the glue is dissolved.

I think given the risk factor of damaging my shadows and cutting myself, I will be sticking to the flat-iron method.

And see, if I used the flat iron I know I'd burn myself. I found once I dribbled in some alcohol (I used a small dropper I had on hand rather than the knife method), it unstuck itself remarkably fast, I didn't even have to force it, it just came totally loose. But of course YMMV!

[gigglegirl]

I tried this my first time depotting, and man, was it nuts! I don't know if my wire cutter just sucked, but I couldn't even bend the plastic back to get to the point of dripping the alcohol. Oh well. My friend taught me the straightening iron method and it was so fast, little smell. So I guess that will just have to do.....I wish it was as simple for me as it looked for him on the video.

Hi everyone, this is a video i found on youtube from the Lebanease MUA Joelle. The tutorial is in Arabic and i'm going to translate as much as i can. It is basically a smokey eye look with nude lips using products from YSL and MAC.

YouTube - 2 Arabic Makeup Tutorial/ مع جويل

The artist first starts off by saying that she will be doing a subtle smokey eye look for nights out.

1) Start with an illuminating foundation which gives the models face a nice glow. She puts the foundation on the models face and neck.

2) Apply concealer under the eyes. I beleive she is using Touch eclat. Using a brush similar to the MAC 190 to blend everything out.

After she is done with the foundation and concealer, she says that the foundation has to look natural and that it should match your skin tone.

3) She then applies powder to set and then heavily apply the powder under the eyes to catch fall out.

4) She applies a wash colour to the whole eyelid (she calls it a base in the video), using a brush that resembles the MAC 239 brush. I beleive she is using a MAC pallete. She doesn't state which one she is using. It looks simmilar to MAC's Shroom eyeshadow or Phloof.

5) She then lines the the upper lashline of the model thickly with a black pencil liner. She then smudges it using a smudge brush. 6)

6) Using the 242 (my guess) she applies a black eyeshadow (could be Carbon eyeshadow) on the lid, covering the black pencil.

7) She then uses the 224 brush and applies a brown eyeshadow to the crease and brow bone of the model.

8) Then she lines the lower lashline of the model with carbon eyeshadow using an angled brush.

9) She then removes the excess powder from under the eyes using a blush or powder brush.

10) Using the 219 brush she will apply a goldish bronzey eyeshadow on top of the bottom black liner to make the look a bit softer.

11) She then applies a highlight colour on the models browbone. She uses a "champagne" ish colour.

12) She then moves on to filling in and darkening the models eyebrows.

13) Applies falsies from MAC, lines the waterline with black kohl and applies Mascara.

14) She then lines the lips of the model with a light rosey pink lip pencil because she wants the eyes to be the "centre of attention" for this look. Then she uses a pink nudeish lipstick.

15) She then finishes off the look by applying a light rosey powder blush to the apples of the cheeks.

Thats it! Then they do the models hair and take pictures of the final look.

Hope you guys like it

^^ The exact same thing! I couldn't even cut the plastic to pul it back, so I just grabbed a candle and it was fast & easy (my very first depotting session yay!) ehehe

[AndyLuvsMAC]

ive depotted all my eyeshadows with his technique. perfect every time

[AndyLuvsMAC]

if u wiggle it just right u dont need to use alcohol. i used a knife and plyers, a little crude but o well

[val-x]

Are they B2Mable? Or is it in the requirements that it can't be cute or anything?
