mixing medium

hi. What can i do with mixing medium und what's the price? what's the different betwen mm water and alcohol?


thanks for answer

 

[bellaetoile]

water based is eyesafe, alcohol is not. if i remember correctly, they retail for about $12 USD, give or take. there's an eyeliner one, and a mascara one as well. mixing mediums are available only at pro stores, or by calling the pro 1800 number.

i used the water based one by dropping a couple drops into a plastic artist palette, tapping a small amount of pigment into it, and mixing it, then applying it wherever i wanted the color. there was less fallout, obviously, since you're working with a liquid, instead of loose powder, and also, the color payoff was more intense, and the pigment seemed to last longer on the skin. when i go back to the pro store, i want to pick up the eyeliner one..

It really helps to make the colour adhere better and not crease like it would normally after an all day's wear.

Your questions should be answered in the Mixing Medium FAQ: http://specktra.net/showthread.php?t=44535

Mixing Medium

Can this be used to set makeup so that it lasts longer?

 

[martygreene]

Not really. You'd be better off getting a makeup setting spray such as Final Seal from Ben Nye.

Mixing medium = EZR???

Early on in my MAC addiction, one of the SAs at a stand-alone MAC store told me that the only mixing medium product they had in stock was the EZR.

I purchased it and occasionally use it to make the pigments last longer on my eyes, but now I'm curious as to whether there's a huge difference (other than price...the EZR was $27 or $29, can't remember) between the two products.

Thanks!

I have both. I think the medium works better. You can order the medium over the phone by calling the MAC customer service number that's on the website.

eyeliner mixing medium > ezr > water based mixing medium.

i think ezr works well, but its very pricey..

 

[pumpkincat210]

how about fix + as a medium? or call the pro line.

 

[koolmnbv]

I love my water based mixing medium I actually prefer it over EZR and it is much cheaper. Another good 1 is Fix+ as a medium but I still like the WB mix. med. the best of all 3

I know its not MAC but I have been using Ben Nye LiquiSET (waterproof mixing liquid). I got it from a costume store and paid $4.99 for 1 fl.oz.

I was too lazy to call MAC, order and wait.
