Hey guys, if you did want to have your makeup press more firmly (to have less kick up when you are using the product) you might want to play around with adding the binding fluid in layers (e.g. add the product in a third at a time and spray it in-between the the layers as well as on the top), so the binding agent is throughout the whole pan of product. We didn't do this because we were following the exact instructions to see if the kit works on face value. If you do add in more binding agent it will likely make the product a lot more wet and won't be useable straight after pressing. xo BN
I was thinking this while watching!! I think this is a fab product as its so easy like Hailey says, and it comes with everything you need for someone who is lazy like me and can't be arsed looking for the alcohol stuff you need and empty pans etc.... ♡
I'd be really interested to see you put this inside a flower press and leave it overnight for pressing (or under a bunch of heavy books) I know it's not the purpose, but I'm just curious 😊
I’d love to see you try to turn a loose powder product into a pressed powder product with this. Like making a Laura Mercier pressed finishing powder, or turning a Bare Minerals loose eyeshadow into a pressed one!
Kat Jones I like this company so much more because they sent it to Beauty News! Edit: as in they trusted their product enough to send it to the ladies!
Mary Frances Brazil sit on it? I don’t know but I’m like them both rolled up into a ball after an all you can eat buffet so.... it might not be quite the same.
This looks so much better than the moon mousse one! I hope you'll use it again for a Franken makeup series, maybe to try to improve makeup you don't like, or that you would like to be different ☺️
I do that without Fixy! I've made some frankenshadows from a big cheap palette, just crushed up the shadow with a palette knife, added a bit of alcohol and pressed them into spare pans.
Oooh, come THROUGH product engineering!! All the components appeared to fit together perfectly! I was really surprised at that initial reveal after pressing the highlighter - I thought there was no way that was enough liquid product to bind the powder together. I am concerned about traveling with those softly pressed powders, but otherwise... Well done, Fixy! I appreciated your very objective assessment of whom this kit would benefit. Unfortunately the design does pretty much cater to only a very niche market. Especially since it's difficult to clean between uses/colors.
Hailey: Okay, i have to stop here and say this, because I’ve thought of it everytime I’ve done this particular process Me: *oh girl me too. Lolol* Hailey : I think.... Me: *YES, ITS LIKE GRINDING WEED!* Hailey: if this could somehow have a longer handle, and not have that little lip.... *Oh.*
BEAUTY NEWS very true! but i think once you get the hang of alcohol you are just as fast (minus the drying process) but id rather be able to take my products with me again and wait that having to worry about something breaking constantly, personal preference i guess :)
Watching Haley grind that bronzer makes me wish there was a cinnamon/pumpkin spice scented bronzer. Imagine a bronzer that smells like Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice. Why has this not happened.
I use a squirt of the binding liquid when the pan is half full of ground up makeup, then fill up the rest of the pan, do the necessary squirts and then press them. They bind just as well as they came from the factory, and they aren’t more delicate than they used to be! I also fill my sink with water and add baby oil to the water.... then I just dunk the press into the the water and run a tooth brush through it all real quick and then dry it off and move on to the next broken item!
Fascinating. I never thought about grinding through mesh. I would probably just go pick up a fine mesh strainer and push the product through with a spoon and then hand press. Very neat product, though!
That’s a kinda cool product to have, I don’t think I’d choose to repress any shadows with it unless I broke one or it cane in an oversized palette but it’s a neat trinket to have. Thanks for the vid guys.
I don't like this gadget. Too much hassle around compare to when you are fixing stuff after breaking it. But as always I enjoyed you and your very detailed video/try. Have a great day ladies x
@@PrincessFromParis as well and all the cleaning in between and than after all it's been softly pressed so when using it again it's very messy and another loss of product... Simply sorry Fixy, but you seem to be gimmicky for quite some of money:(
Thanks, that was very interesting. That grinding tool looks like it would be problematic with long nails though. If it was something I wanted to use I’d probably make a handle by glueing a shank to it and then covering it with air dried clay. I’d also probably use the grinder and then just mix with rubbing alcohol before pressing. That way I could even press by hand into the original pan if I wanted.
For the convenience of having ready made after pressing makeup, I agree it’s handy. But thank you fixy for the idea of using a sifter before pressing my broken shadows or highlighters. I’ll go and get one.
The whole system is a good idea but seems fairly complicated... When my bronzer broke I just used your method of mixing it in a bowl with alcohol and pressing it in its pan and it worked great! Also even the big pan size seems small even for the blush you used. It is a great idea though
It is fairly complicated looking at it, but breaking it down it is just a fool proof way of pressing makeup normally. Break it up, put it in a pan and press it. The main difference is that the binding agent is added after putting it in the pan instead of before :)
i need this cause I'm a weirdo who stops using products the moment they hit pan cause I'm scared of them breaking. I'd love to just repress them into smaller pans or grind them super fine and use them as a loose formula like my bare minerals makeup. Great video, thank you for this ♥️♥️
I want one so I can make custom shades of blush and eyeshadow! 💞 They have different sized palettes and their prices are reasonable. Thanks so much for the demo!
Yaaaayyyyy I am so excited to see what you think about it. I’m not sure if I have a place for it but it does open new possibilities for Franken-makeup ♥️♥️ thank you ladies
Ooh, this is such fun!! I'd love to play with Fixy to see if I could come up with the perfect shade of eyeshadows from a bunch of not-quite-the-right-shade eyeshadows. Plus, then I could add glitter to whatever I'd like because I like glitter. Loved your Frankenblush!!
You guys should do a mix of how you press it originally and the fixy, you know, like instead of using the spray , wet it with the alcohol and press it with the fixy it...
Two comments: If you wanted to repress into an original palette or pan you still have a very helpful grinder, which is the step I'm always frustrated by when I fix/mix powder products. But I know this review was for the kit as a whole. I wish you demo'ed washing it. That is my biggest hesitation buying this, i know how hard my kitchen sieve can be to clean. As always, love your content!
BNR/MB!!! Interesting product! Thank you for demonstrating its use! I think it could be useful, though the method you two have previously demonstrated works well also. 💙💙💙😻😻😻
Do you think it would be less soft if you put in part of the product, sprayed the solution in 1-2 times, finished filling the pan & then spraying the recommended amount on top? Or, after pressing w/your hands, what if you then weigh it down with a stack of books or some cast iron cookware? If I break something I really love, my 1st thought isn’t, “Press it now so I can use it immediately”!! It’s more, “Well Shit! I have to clean lean up my mess & set it aside to fix when I have the time”. We aren’t robots who exert a totally uniform pressure based on a computer program, so wouldn’t using something heavy that gives pretty even pressure for maybe 5-7minutes make it more stable? I totally agree with you girls about all the other pan sizes! SO MANY companies are using all different size pans, like UD, & Too Faced; they use all types of irregularly shaped pans! I don’t think any system besides good old pressing will work in some situations. I would TOTALLY use this to make my own FrankenColors & plar w/duo/tri-chromes!! Much Love, hope Spring is starting to show up for you! 🤗💜🤗
Spraying the same quantity in 2 times isn't gonna make a difference, as the alcohol soaks through anyway. The amount of pressure likely isn't gonna make a difference either, it probably depends on the spray alone.
oh what a fun video! honestly all i use is eyeliner so i almost never use the products reviewed on this channel but these two girls just suck me in with their personalities
I feel it would be good for someone who's interested in making their own cosmetics rather than fixing them for the price tag I couldn't justify getting it for a broken eyeshadow or two. However I have tried to make my own eyeshadows using a kit from tkb trading (which you should totally review) well I didn't get the kit I picked up stuff I thought would work because I couldn't afford the kit. One thing I did to save money was try to make a mortor and pestle out of poloymer clay. Well that sucked for grinding the eyshadowe if I was to do it again I would pick up this product.
I wouldn't buy this, because I'm pretty confident going the isopropyl/mixing/hand pressing route (never had a problem waiting for it to dry, mostly because I have far too much other makeup to use instead while it dries). However, it does inspire me to get one of those old fashioned tea strainers that look like a tiny little sieve just for grinding everything up smoothly before I press it. The ground up powder looks so smooth and that's really appealing to me.
Yeah I agree! If you are a confident makeup re-presser then the part of this kit that is most interesting is the grinder. You could very easily dupe it with a strainer :)
I'm interesting in buying the binding spray by itself, like you said I have some loose shadows with no binders in them and I dislike the little pots they're currently in
Immensly satisfying video as always, ladies! What bugs me though, is the huge margin the company gets from selling this set for more than 40$. All of the parts of it are really cheap - the spray, the cardboard magnet pallete, the pans; i doubt that the pruduction price for all of this is higher than 10$.
Дарья Атоян if they sold it for the cost of the product only then they would be out of business. They need to cover all the overheads such as marketing, transaction fees, packaging, labour, rent etc.
@@amberpaul4245 she still is right, it's expensive for what you actually get. You can probably get a knock off and get it at AliExpress cheaper. The only refill to get is the spray
I have never heard of this, alcohol has never done be wrong.. but my inner Franken-makeup soul kinda needs it. That grinder / sifter would make it a lot easier once a few shades get involved. Is the smallest pan a typical, standard MAC eyeshadow sized pan / hole? It looks a tad bigger.. it's really cool they even send the empty palette with some pans, though, to get you going. Really loved this, ladies!
Franken-makeup is a video series waiting to happen! I really love when y'all get creative during Makeup Breakup videos, so I'd be so stoked to see some more dedicated ideas with mixing different types of makeup.. Especially after the breakup video debunking those color correcting things that all mixed together to be a shimmery grey. To use some Aussie terms, since I'm southern white American nonsense: I'd be so keen to see that
In terms of cleaning the Fixy components, I am wondering how it would do in the dishwasher. I think the part with the grate would do very well in the D/W and the pressing component as well. Just a thought!
I like the idea of this but like Kat said I don’t like the fact you can’t press the product back into the original pan. & on occasion I’m sure it would be cheaper to buy the original product anyway. But some sort of universal press to where you could press product back into the original pan would be a great idea!
@13:03 you'd think the ppl who designed this would have noted and improved on those issues when they tested this product. hopefully they make improvements for future versions.
Someone may have said this already in the comments no, I did not read any. The thing is I believe you should let that sit for 24-48 hours before using it. I think when you read the directions in the beginning that's what was said. That's probably the reason why so much product is coming out of the pan and onto the brush. This is a great product to either make your own color combinations or fix your broken makeup. I would definitely invest in something like this. They need to come out with different size pans though, like maybe rectangular would be nice for eyeshadow?
You know what? I cannot get over how much product is wasted all around... I don't get the benefit for the home user. Only that you can use it immediately Nothing wrong with doing it the way you already do it.
@@BEAUTYNEWS the grinder it's the smart part of the tool, I agree. For what you do (which is a Service to people! ❤️) I think it's very helpful as a "work tool" But for the average consumer it can be "duped" with things you have at home.
Is the pressing mechanism really light? It might also be too hollow to press properly, or isn’t weighted enough in the middle! Leading to an uneven and softer press
It’s a great in depth video ☺️ I think I’d rather stick with mixing my broken makeup with iso alcohol and repressing though. It just seems too soft in the pan and kicks up a lot of powder for me
Thank you so much for this video. I’m a makeup artist (not qualified tho) and I do house calls so I have a kit that I take with me all the time and I have broken so much makeup because of it, this video was really helpful because I could figure out which makeup repair kit to get. I did have a thought though you could always use the grinding thing and the spray and just repress it into the original pan as you would if you were using rubbing alcohol do that you get the benefits from both this product and moon moose.
I'm inspired to throw all my super cheap drugstore/dollar store makeup together with some of the micas and pigments I have to make some custom Franken-cosmetix. Thanks so much for the thorough review! I've been eyeballing this for a month and wasn't sure. But what about creams and foils? Do you think they'd come out all right?
I'm glad to have this to watch. I had to put one of my pet rats Tallulah to sleep tonight very suddenly and it's pretty rough. Thanks for the much needed distraction, girls.
It wasn’t wet enough, the distance you sprayed was too high. I have this kit and mine press perfectly. Now of course this could be a me thing idk. Great video girls!
I respect that they put their balls on the line by sending you their product. I haven't checked out the site but I wonder if they have larger empty palettes? That might expand their market for those who are serial depotters and don't want to use Z Palettes. Editing my comment: they do sell larger palettes - USD$15 for 8x5.3"
Morphe sells one for USD$10 (dimensions 9 1/2"L x 6 3/4"W) I have it and the quality is great. Also, a lot of youtubers have 10% off with morphe, so it would only be $9

sojirofreak yes please! It could have great implications for travel
Yes! I would love to see this too!
@Ellie Mack the spray that comes with the Fixy has a binding agent
sojirofreak oh my god this is the best idea I’ve ever heard
that’s basically what they did in the video
The company stands by their product if they sent it to beauty news 👌👍
Kat Jones I like this company so much more because they sent it to Beauty News!
Edit: as in they trusted their product enough to send it to the ladies!
Facts! ☝️
I think I’d try sitting on it. I am a proper fat moo so if that doesn’t press it properly then nothing would make it press.
Didnt they already do this??
Lisa Lum LOLLL ME.
Im going to refer to myself as a proper fat moo from now on. 👌🏻
Mary Frances Brazil sit on it? I don’t know but I’m like them both rolled up into a ball after an all you can eat buffet so.... it might not be quite the same.
Jess N. It feel so right for me 😂😂😂
so glad the company sent you the product! as a fellow australian, shipping is a nightmare 😭😭
@Arshia C Hahaha. Same! Not only is shipping is so expensive, everything is just marked up so much. 😫😫
@Arshia C Yes!! Its like watching a drug store vs high end TH-cam tutorial and I'm sitting here like, our drug store are high end prices. 🤔🤔
@Arshia C Oh I know!!! So annoying!!!
This looks so much better than the moon mousse one! I hope you'll use it again for a Franken makeup series, maybe to try to improve makeup you don't like, or that you would like to be different ☺️
LauraEnne I have moon moose and it was ok. I rather just used alcohol.
I was watching the intro thinking “holy shit how are they doing that” and then i realised its reversed, god save me
If I bought this, I think I would purposely break all my “crap” just to make my own Franken-makeup.
So.... I better not buy it ! Lol
Mi5hy J I’m so tempted to do this
Safiya nygaard reference.
I do that without Fixy! I've made some frankenshadows from a big cheap palette, just crushed up the shadow with a palette knife, added a bit of alcohol and pressed them into spare pans.
HOW do U HAVE THAT THING BY YOUR NAME
Me too lol

Me: *YES, ITS LIKE GRINDING WEED!*
Hailey: if this could somehow have a longer handle, and not have that little lip....
*Oh.*
Haha we clearly don't smoke weed sorry! You gave me a good laugh though :)
You're not the only one who thought that lol
😂😂😂
Jess N. 😂👍
I don’t even smoke weed and I thought the same thing lol
conclusion to all of this: alcohol and repressing it is still the best 😅
It is best for stability of the product, but this is very fool proof if you want consistent results :)
BEAUTY NEWS very true! but i think once you get the hang of alcohol you are just as fast (minus the drying process) but id rather be able to take my products with me again and wait that having to worry about something breaking constantly, personal preference i guess :)
Watching Haley grind that bronzer makes me wish there was a cinnamon/pumpkin spice scented bronzer. Imagine a bronzer that smells like Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice.
Why has this not happened.
That would be amazing. I bet you could diy one easily by just destroying and bronzer, adding alcohol and a drop of essential oil, then re-pressing!
The press looks like Mickey Mouse and I can’t unsee it 😂
Nooooooooo!😲😂
This might be nice for eyeshadows that you wish were softer. Also it would be fun to play with, let's be real! Thanks, ladies!
8up
I would buy it, Cause some of my single eyeshadow and blush broke

Do you use say fixy binding agent or do you use a different one?
That’s what we would recommend, but we were following the instructions to see how it works as they tell you 😊
Watching you two do this is so calming ....like meditation but with makeup --Yes !
Love a thorough review. Fixy are lucky to have you reviewing their product. xx

I’m not convinced tbh. Repressing with a spatula and alcohol takes (me) less time and the cleanup job is easier too. It’s also way cheaper 🙊
If you are confident in that technique then you don’t need this 😊

For the convenience of having ready made after pressing makeup, I agree it’s handy.
But thank you fixy for the idea of using a sifter before pressing my broken shadows or highlighters. I’ll go and get one.
They did the right thing sending this out to you. This is great and you can make what you want also.👍

Wow... this seems like a great gift for my clumsy BFF
This is my favorite bronzer - so good, cheap and pan is giant so it lasts for ages

I like the idea of this but like Kat said I don’t like the fact you can’t press the product back into the original pan. & on occasion I’m sure it would be cheaper to buy the original product anyway. But some sort of universal press to where you could press product back into the original pan would be a great idea!
I love this channel! You are both genius!
❤❤❤
What if you sprayed the fixy spray before you put it in the presser so it gets all of it instead of just the top layer that may help it press firmer.
That Franken blush is beautiful
Rebecca Jones I had a liquid blush (looked like a nail polish) years back that was almost just like the shimmer franken-blush
@13:03 you'd think the ppl who designed this would have noted and improved on those issues when they tested this product. hopefully they make improvements for future versions.
Someone may have said this already in the comments no, I did not read any. The thing is I believe you should let that sit for 24-48 hours before using it. I think when you read the directions in the beginning that's what was said. That's probably the reason why so much product is coming out of the pan and onto the brush. This is a great product to either make your own color combinations or fix your broken makeup. I would definitely invest in something like this. They need to come out with different size pans though, like maybe rectangular would be nice for eyeshadow?
I think I would buy this kit mainly to make franken shadows. I love a good diy
You know what? I cannot get over how much product is wasted all around...
I don't get the benefit for the home user. Only that you can use it immediately Nothing wrong with doing it the way you already do it.
This won’t replace how we repress makeup, but we like elements of it - the grinder, the tools etc. 😊
@@BEAUTYNEWS the grinder it's the smart part of the tool, I agree. For what you do (which is a Service to people! ❤️) I think it's very helpful as a "work tool"
But for the average consumer it can be "duped" with things you have at home.
Please do how many applications in a fenty lip paint!
I laughed so hard when Hailey said "don't know what an inch is" 🤣🤣🤣 Only us in the US know this. Too funny
Is the pressing mechanism really light? It might also be too hollow to press properly, or isn’t weighted enough in the middle! Leading to an uneven and softer press
It’s a great in depth video ☺️ I think I’d rather stick with mixing my broken makeup with iso alcohol and repressing though. It just seems too soft in the pan and kicks up a lot of powder for me
if the powder is more wet before you press it, it presses a lot harder. but if you press it half dry, it's less compressed and therefore a lot softer
Thank you so much for this video. I’m a makeup artist (not qualified tho) and I do house calls so I have a kit that I take with me all the time and I have broken so much makeup because of it, this video was really helpful because I could figure out which makeup repair kit to get. I did have a thought though you could always use the grinding thing and the spray and just repress it into the original pan as you would if you were using rubbing alcohol do that you get the benefits from both this product and moon moose.
Yes!I'm so glad you guys did this
6:28 into video and already making a mental note for a double ring from craft store and a trip to hardware store for cut to length window screen. DIY.
Very cool
i bought this right now.
You can get free shipping in the US too
“i don’t know what an inch is” that made me laugh so much
Wouldn't mind other pan shaped options for reusing the original pan if possible. I like that I don't have to smell perfume to consider this
I would love if you could press the powder back into the original container
I'm inspired to throw all my super cheap drugstore/dollar store makeup together with some of the micas and pigments I have to make some custom Franken-cosmetix. Thanks so much for the thorough review! I've been eyeballing this for a month and wasn't sure. But what about creams and foils? Do you think they'd come out all right?
I'm glad to have this to watch. I had to put one of my pet rats Tallulah to sleep tonight very suddenly and it's pretty rough. Thanks for the much needed distraction, girls.
I wonder if the repressed products would be more stable if you pressed them multiple times or in layers?
Try using the spray in an eyeshadow pan in a pallet... combo of the spray with your method of pressing
The spray is pretty much what we use repress makeup anyway 😊
I am amazed every time
It wasn’t wet enough, the distance you sprayed was too high. I have this kit and mine press perfectly. Now of course this could be a me thing idk. Great video girls!
Came back in from a night out and set beauty news away as soon as I was in
I respect that they put their balls on the line by sending you their product. I haven't checked out the site but I wonder if they have larger empty palettes? That might expand their market for those who are serial depotters and don't want to use Z Palettes.
Editing my comment: they do sell larger palettes - USD$15 for 8x5.3"
Morphe sells one for USD$10 (dimensions 9 1/2"L x 6 3/4"W) I have it and the quality is great. Also, a lot of youtubers have 10% off with morphe, so it would only be $9
I think handle on that thing is short so it can fit inside when you want to put it away. People lose loose parts when they are not packed together.
