To Mixing Medium (Water Base) Users
Hi, I'm about to purchase the Mixing Medium and am wondering if anyone has experienced your eyelids(skin) breaknig out because of using the MM? I know it's not Alcohol Based, but I do have very sensitive skin and don't know what the ingredients in it are...and I'm kind of worried about using the MM. Has anyone ever heard someone's skin got a reaction to it? I will appreciate your replies. Thank you!

I have extremely sensitive skin, and it USUALLY doesn't bother me at all. Sometimes, seemingly with certain pigments (especially the metal ones), I'll get a brief burning for a few seconds when I use it. It doesn't last and it doesn't have any visible reaction - my eyelids just tingle uncomfortably for about 30 seconds. I always use UD's Primer, and I suppose as a member above said, that it probably helps some (it definitely keeps makeup from creasing and fading!)

i also get the burning sensation...which sometimes makes my eyes water which results in a hot mess
but anything makes my eyes water.. even the car ac blowing on me, the wind blowing, or being awake for too long so im just a special case
never made me break out tho

MAC's EZR ?
Any of you ladies ever use that ? I was just looking through the site and I saw that and wondered, "Hmmmm, should I get that ?"...

I use EZR for the MAC Glitters. It helps adhere it on. And will not fall off. For Halloween I used Flammable Paint as a base w/ Coppering on top. In the crease I used Bat Black CCB and Carbon on top of that. I dabbed just a lil bit of EZR on top of Coppering and applied MAC's red glitter on top w/ the 242 brush. It looked GREAT and lasted ALL NIGHT! People can scold all they want about the Glitters not being eye safe... but where else would you put it? Its also great to use with the pigments for a more opaque finish if you don't have the mixing medium.

I am not talking about using it for a mixing medium. I am meaning it's primary use:
A lightweight, moisturizing/destressing serum that effectively peps up the skin around the eyes. Eases the lines, softens the stresses, destresses the skin around the eyes and reduces the appearance of lines, and wrinkles. Soothing, cooling, moisturizing. Contains a nourishing blend of chamomile, cucumber, Vitamin A and E. Pure, very concentrated, but not oily. Use sparingly (you don't need a lot). Apply to fingertip and massage gently around the eye area. Protects the eye area from wear and tear. Absorbs easily, leaves no greasy residue.

i've tried using it for its intended purpose, and frankly, i find it to be ridiculously overpriced, for what it doesn't do, lol. it really didn't help my eyes or skin at all, i saw no visible change, or effect. granted, i'm only 20, therefore i don't really NEED an eye product, but after a week of heavy finals for school, and two all-nighters, i definately felt like my eyes could use something of a pick-me-up. unfortunately, this stuff really didn't do anything. i'll stick to using it as a mixing medium, because i think it's a waste of time as an eye product.

Water with Pigments
Hey!
Just wondering how water works on pigments. I heard it brings the color out even more. What do you think?
I use paint underneath pigments and it usually works for 5-6 hours but then I start to get creases. Anything else I could add to help my colors stay longer?
Thanks!

I have never tried mixing water with pigments. I've used the mixing medium, and it works great for pigments. Have you tried using that?

i have very oily skin so i used to have creases just a couple of hours after i put on the mu. but since i started using udpp, i've solved that problem.
i've used both mixing medium and water and i think the mu looks the same after. with water, i just dip my brush in water then blot it so it's a little bit damp then pick up some pigment & it works the same, i think.
