Ack, I hate to be a teetotaller, but there are a few threads in existence on this topic, here are links to just the ones with 'mixing medium' in title (there were several others in combo with other products):

P&P eye and lip + mixing medium
Sorry if this has already been posted. I haven't slept in over 4 years and today I'm really tired so I didn't go back and look thru all the topics.
I'm curious if the eye primer works for oily lids. The only thing I don't crease thru is UD PP.
In regards to the lip primer-I've never used one. Does this REALLY make a difference? Do you think it's a must have?
Mixing Medium-I just got some this weekend and used it yesterday. Do any of you use and eyebase before?
TIA

Hello
i have oily lids too :-( and i used the prep + prime eye (at first alone as a base) and it creased for me - it has silicone in it i think and the texture is almost slick/slippery...which for me on my eyelid is not good. but then i found that it is awesome under any paint, and that the combination of prep + prime eye and a MAC paint makes for a great base for me. i found that the prep + prime under the paint improves the blendability of my shadows (compared to just the paint alone) and prevents creasing.
as for the prep + prime lip, i bought it and haven't been crazy about it. it might just be me, but i tried it under "O" lipstick and i found that it made it difficult to apply the lipstick evenly. under lipglasses though i found it makes them feel less sticky, which is good. so i don't think MAC's lip primer is a must-have, but maybe there are better ones out there? it's definitely something that's gathering dust in my make-up collection. maybe i'll give it another try though.
hope that helps! and i hope you can get some sleep soon

Your Favourite Pigment with Mixing Medium Eyeliner?
Iv'e just bought the mixing medium for eyeliner and absolutely love how versatile it has made pigment useage. i tried it with teal pigment (yes i know, old batch not eyesafe) and wow, utterly loved it. Great alterative to a peacocky alternative.
what are your favourites so i can rush about and try them?

I use kelly green as a liner with many of my green shadows, it's very pretty
I also like using Rose pigment with the liner medium, but I mix rose with everything (cheeks, lips... )

I have both Mixing Medium water based and Mixing Medium Eyeliner.. and I hate the last one!!! With Mixing Medium, even if I rub my lids, it stay all day.. With MM Eyeliner, if I touch my lids, everything come off. Bleh... If you have the chance to try the MM water based, go for it!! It's 5 X better!

Hmm,.. PrettyKitty,.. That is strange,.. Maybe you are using too much of it,..my eyeliner MM makes it nearly waterproof and I have to really work to get it off? I will definitely have to try to waterbased MM if you think it is better than that!
