Pro Lipmix Collection (March 2012)

Two new Pro products: Gloss and Satin Lipmix  ($14.50 for 10 ml)

Gloss Lipmix: A lightweight, colourless formula that adds a high gloss finish to the lip. Blends with any Pro Lipmix or matte Lipcolour for a complete custom finish. Blend in palette or apply directly to the lip.

Satin Lipmix: A lightweight, colourless formula that adds a satin sheen to the lip. Blends with any Pro Lipmix or matte Lipcolour for a complete custom finish. Blend in palette or apply directly to the lip.

Now we just need the Pro lip palettes back!

Are you getting both?

Those two are a nice addition to the existing lipmixes. I've got the Satin one, though I might get the Gloss mix too.

Only the Satin mix. Not sticky, it's more creamy. I still hope for a repromote of the dc'ed palettes to make mixing/storage easier.

They've been d/c-ed a few years ago. Maybe there was no need for custom shades at that time, but as now is all about customizing, they should bring them back for Pros.

I thought this was a beautiful look.  I may need to pick up the black lip mix.

Go for it. The lip mixes are not only great to create custom lip colors, but to make existing lippies more wearable (if they are too dark, too light, too blue or orange-based, etc...). It's an extra step, but well worth the fun.

I still have some BU's of the mixing palettes, but I still hope that they will release new ones.

I love creating custom colours for not only shadows but for lips.... I knew to get a pro cards sorted once i register into my next makeup course for this sort of thing
 

I love that look and idea with the black! Thanks for the link

 

 

Just go to your Pro store. No need for ordering it over the phone as you have access to a Pro store.

Woohoo, I'm wearing my very own custom-made Gareth Pugh Restrict l/g today. It's the perfect Spring/Summer gloss for those who liked Restrict during the Winter months.

Sure it can.

2/3 GP Restrict l/s + 1/3  Satin lipmix + 1 drop of the Gloss lipmix = a Restrict Cremesheen-ish l/g (maybe a little bit more longlasting as I made it less liquid-ey)

MAC-Guy, do you have a sense for how long the shelf life would be for a custom mix? If it's not long, then I'll be sure to make a tiny amount.

I try to produce enough product to last me a week, but not much more. The l/m are very pigmented, so you really don't need much. The problem is where to store it since the l/m palettes were d/c-ed. Also, it's not always easy to recreate exactly the same shade, but that's also the fun part.

And yes, there is no reason to not like a lippie anymore as the colored l/m are great to warm up or cool down a lippie. They are an excellent way to play with old lippies and glosses that don't really suit you that much. Just use some lipmix and make them "you." I'd say it's one of the best kept secrets for Pro items.
