I'm a little confused at what your asking. Are you referencing Mixing Medium? LMK and I'll try to answer your question as best as I can, but if I can't there are a plethra of fellow MAC addicts that will be happy to assist.

Mixing medium is a glycerin-and-liquid mixture designed to turn dry products into moist products, or to change the consistency of already-moist products. You can use it with a pigment to turn the loose powder into something more like a liquid liner or paint.

MAC currently produces two versions of mixing medium- water based (eyesafe) and alcohol based.

A reasonable facsimilie of mixing medium can be achieved by combining glycerine and water. Just dilute with water, I think the proportions are 3 parts water to 1 part glycerin. The alcohol-based mixing medium (not for the eye area) can be made the same way (alcohol plus glycerin for something that dries quickly on the body).

Are you talking about a pro product?

I use EZR (Eye Zone Remoistureizer) as a mixing medium for my pigments..... I think it's about $24.....

hope that helps.

Matte and Mixing Medium?

I was trying to find the Mixing Medium on the MAC site and I can't seem to find it. Where can I buy it and how much is it? Also, I have a problem with creasing when i use eyeshadows. I use CCB's but I still crease. Have any of you tried the Matte on your lids to stop creasing? Does it work? Or what tricks do you guys have?

I THINK you can only get the mixing mediums at the pro store but don't quote me on that.

What i do is use some paint, then CCB, then shadow

I generally use this whenever i use my pigments or any powder eyeshadow. I apply it using my finger, because i find a brush tends to absorb most of it, and then wait for it to dry a bit and then apply shadows or pigment on top. Or you can use it with loose shadows by mixing them with the medium first and then applying the mixture to your lid...you cna also use it to make eyeliners from pigments/loose shadows. It's great because it's so versatile.
