Have you ever bought an eyeshadow palette that is too powdery that it does not even adhere to your lid, instead you get a lot of fall out! Eeek! The problem - we do not have return policy in the Philippines, so you toss your palette inside your makeup kit and keep it until someone adopts it or worst, until it expires. This post will definitely revive your powdery palettes that you are not anymore using.
This next DIY project is an oldie but a goodie. I have made a post about this years ago but I decided to reblog it for the info of my new readers. Back in the days when I still do fotd's and looks every now and then, people would often ask me how I mak my eyeshadow look vibrant. Back then, the only eyeshadow primer known in the market was the Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP). Heck! I do not have the money to buy one (even now, nagkukuripot pa rin ako.. haha). I stumble about this so called mixing medium. I looked for Glycerine which is locally available at Mercury Drugstore for only 30.75 pesos. Also, an atomizer spray bottle is needed.
The formula is very easy. Use the cap of the atomizer spray as a measuring cup. Thus, the bottle cap in this post will be referred to as the "cup". Just add one cup of Glycerine plus three cups of water and shake shake shake. That's it! The trick is how to use this mixing medium. Spray it 3 inches away from your brush just to dampen it. Remember, not to make your brushes too wet with the medium or else you will have a hard time blending the eye shadows.
I bought this atomizer for only 27 pesos. You can buy cheaper ones in landmark. The lowest I have seen only amounts to 12-15 pesos only. This mixing medium works well with all kinds of eyeshadow finishes from matte to satin to shimmery ones.
Here is a sample swatch with the use of my home made mixing medium:
(I used the ELF Essential Little Black Beauty Book in Warm. This palette lacks pigmentation and is too powdery for my taste.. Definitely not a good buy!)
From faint powdery eyeshadows to vibrant bold colors
For less than 60 pesos, who would not love this trick?!
Some say this is the ultimate dupe for MAC Fix+.. Have not try it on my face though. :) Perhaps, I will try it soon as a face mist.
Also, make sure you make a new one every other two-three weeks because it expires easily. You would know it's expired because it changes color or consistency. This explains the reason why you only need a little amount for your DIY project.
