As someone getting into mixing mediums for the first time, I'm glad I found this video! You put a lot into this video, so thank you! :)
You are so welcome ❤️😊
This was SO in depth and informative! Thank you for your hard work!
You're welcome 😊
I wasn't even looking for a mixing medium video but now I'm definitely gonna invest in one instead of getting individual liners. Thank you for such a comprehensive and in depth video.
You are so welcome 😊 Glad it helped 🙌
Love the scientific approach to this! Thank you so much for doing this! Well researched and well presented. Cheers for that!
Thanks so much 😊🙏
This video was absolutely PHENOMENAL. So informative and detailed, yet state to the point, which I can appreciate. THANK YOU!
@@sarahmartinez7226 thank you so much for your kind words 💗
@@Beautylashes19 I was just being completely honest! Do you take requests by chance? Cause I’d love to see a video reviewing at home devices for lifting and tightening the skin.. like radio frequency vs microcurrent, etc and what devices work the best. Cause all I find on this topic are videos from creators that seem biased as though they are getting paid to promote a specific device. I’d love if someone like you could do a deep dive into all things anti aging at home device so I can finally get some answers and recommendations I can trust!
@@sarahmartinez7226 thank you.. Currently I am not taking requests for videos as my dog has cancer and I am spending all my time with him.. Also, I dont use any radio freq or microcurrent device.. The ones I love for general skin health are Foreo UFO 2 (I have a full video on it) and Beauty pie flexible led face mask (red and infra red light therapy)..

Thank you 😊
I appreciate this tutorial you made, I haven’t seen anyone use mehron mixing medium with pmg. This is very helpful!
You're welcome 😊❤️
Absolutely well done video Sneha.. So informative and nicely presented. Just stumbled upon your channel and I'm glad I did. Amongst a trillion untrustworthy videos these days, such videos are indeed a ray of light. Keep on coming! 🤗
Thank you so much for your kind words ♥️ and welcome to my little TH-cam family 🥰
Great video! This was very helpful.
Thank you 😊
Thank you sooo much for this video. I just bought Karla cosmetics pigments and I noticed that without a special primer they wouldn’t look as gorgeous. The Karla cosmetics gel was out of stock but I own Inglot duraline. And thanks to your video I know that I can use it successfully. Thank you!! 💖👍🏻
You're welcome 😊 Glad it worked out 🙂
Thank you so much for this amazing video. I'm looking at purchasing the mehron mixing medium and it looks like it will do what I need. Many thanks
You are so welcome ❤️ Glad I could help 😊
This is an amazing video! Thank you.
Glad you liked it! 😊
Yeah you saved my life and time. I henge loose pigments that I stopped using because the fall out is terrible as well as other shadows that just have terrible fall-out that messes up my skin prep on clients so this was extremely helpful.
You are so welcome 😁💕
Thank you so much for showing this tutorial ☺️💜
You're welcome 😊
Thank you Sneha for showing us how to use a mixing medium....for me it was a little daunting.
Excellent video Sneha X
You're so welcome 🤗 Glad it was helpful ❤️
Amazing!! 🤩
AMAZING video !! I have been crawling the web for this information for almost 2h so… thank you ! ✨
Thank you 😊 you are so welcome ❤️
This video seriously needs more views. Fantastic review!
Thank you so much 💕
That was soooo helpful THANK YOU MISS MAAM have heard of inglot ever since I got into makeup and now I'm deciding between inglot and essum
You can't go wrong with either 😊
Straightforward no muss no fuss review. Thanks for comparing a lot of different brands.
We have the same hooded eyes so those glitters transfer and go everywhere with humid weather.
Thank you for watching, glad you found it helpful 🥰
This was such a helpful video!
Thank you, that makes me so happy 😊
This is so helpful! Thank you!!!
You are welcome 🥰
This is amazing!!! Thank you
Hi Sneha, I am glad i finally got to see this video and learn how to use this shades and pigments. Is extraordinary beautiful to see them apply with the medium. Thank you for sharing and once again teach us how to use makeup.
Thanks so much for watching lovely Carolin ❤️ these sure make my life a lot easier when working with loose pigments or pressed shades that tend to have a lot of fallout 😊
Thank you so much!
I’m just getting into mixing mediums I’m going to get the inglot one, thank you for the video
You're welcome 😊
can’t thank you enough for this 😘😘
You are so welcome ❤️
Thank you so much for making this!! I’m so glad I did my research, as I almost bought the Karla cosmetics mixing medium but it seems like the inglot due alone or Denessa Myricks is truly the best one!
You are so welcome.. Each One has its Place and It comes down to What you want the mixing medium to do/how long you want It to last.. For longwear, definitely DM 👍
@@Beautylashes19 do you think you could make a video comparing the Inglot Duraline to the Revolution Pro mixing liquid with the methods used in this video? They look very similar but the RP mixing liquid is a bit bigger
@@indicabunn7502 ahh unfortunately I don't own it and I don't want to buy any more mixing mediums at the moment as I clearly have way too many 😁🙈 so sorry..
@@Beautylashes19 no worries! I appreciate your response! 😊
You must be a mind reader because I'm researching mixing mediums specifically for PML special shades and low and behold, that's what you're demonstrating in this video. TYSM!
Yay! Glad this video was useful 😊❤️
@@Beautylashes19 thanks! Have a lovely day!!
Wonderful! Thank you!
You're welcome 😊
Great video! So informative
Thank you 😊
Awesome video... thanks for doing this tutorial..👍👍❤
No worries 😊 glad it was helpful ❤️
Muse beauty mixing medium is my hg when it comes to glitters and multichromes though i do love to use mehron. Danessa myricks is great for matte shadows it turns them into a very opaque coverage solid color. I also liked the longetivity
Lovely to know you enjoy these mixing mediums too 😊
Thank you it helped a lot
You are so welcome 🤗
Great video and demonstration 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers! 😃
This is a great video! I didn’t even know there were so many options. It’s very strange how much the mixing medium can make the color of the shadow fluctuate.
Thank you for watching 😊 Yes, the ingredients can alter pigments..
Thanks for this!
You're welcome 😊
Thanks for this video! Been eyeing on inglot but decided to go with Mac mm for eyeliner ✨ it performed well and never had issues with Mac products. I had a really bad reaction from a skin patch test from lit cosmetics 🤷🏻♀️ I just very sensitive skin but love makeup ☺️🙈
It's such a good mixing medium and I am so glad you shared your experience with the different ones here. I am sure it would be helpful for others with sensitive skin. Thank you ❣️
Awesome comparison video. I never tried it. But once i tryed the BH Cosmetics setting spray as mixing medium bcz that setting spray was very sticky, and that works. 👏👏
Thanks Manisha😊 That's a good find! I generally don't recommend using setting spray on the eyes since most of them contain alcohol.
I can't thank you enough for making this video! This was so incredibly helpful!! I've been wanting to dip my toes into multichromes, and I thought pigments with Duraline might be the best way to go for me, but it's been so hard to find videos featuring this technique. Your video is a lifesaver! Thank you. Is there a brand of multichrome pigments you would recommend the most? 💙💜💚
I am so happy to hear this! Love when a pro video is loved in this sea of influencer videos 😊
Honestly, I haven't tried many multi chromes brands as most are based in the USA or Canada so I've stuck with Karla cosmetics which is UK based. In general, the loose pigments are more impactful than pressed ones (in my experience).
Your video is amazing. Thank youuu
Thank you for your kind words 😊
Hi love. Before your video I was thinking that eye makeup can't suit puffy eyes. Because I have also eyes like you. But after your videos and expertiness in eye makeup i got more confidence in doing eye makeup more. Love you.
Thanks so much, I am delighted to hear that! ♥️
Very informative video. Thank you for sharing
My pleasure 😊Glad it was helpful.
Really helpful ❤️
You are welcome 😊
Thank you for this awesome video! I’ve been curious about which mixing media
Was worth it.
Thank you so much 🤗 I am glad it was helpful ❤️
I was hoping you'd use all of them with the pressed powder because that's what I'm searching for. I did learn the hard way that I need to not do it right in the middle of the pan. Waaahhh.
Honestly I didn't want to waste my Pat McGrath eyeshadows for a mixing medium test 😁 It would work the same with pressed or loose pigment.. and I've done a demo at the start of the video to show how to use a mixing medium with a pressed powder..
thank you so much! i just bought the mehron and was wondering how it held up against other brands!
Glad I could help 😊💕
Very helpful thanks
You're welcome 😊
Yes, I have the inglot duraline one but I'll buy the Danessa Myricks I love her products.
Yay, she truly does 🙌
¡What an amazing video 👇🏼👇🏼🙏🏼👏🏼😍 thank you very much!
You are so welcome 💞
The only product I have used is Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy. I'm definitely going to check these out.
Brilliant! I haven't tried that one but I hope one of these works out for you 😃
Makeup forever aqua seal hands down the best I have ever used
thank you
I usually buy the metal master manipulator by Mario. Works great. Slept in make up was still there next morning lol. Gross I know. Anyways. They don’t have it anywhere and I’m
So glad I found you!!’ Tysm!!!!
I'm glad this video was helpful 😊 These products existed way before Mario made his mixing medium 😉
Your eye liner is beautiful.
Thank you 😊
Hi! I just stumbled on your channel when searching for ways to use Duraline mixing medium and this video was very informative and helpful!
*More importantly, I didn’t see a video on your channel on HOW YOU CREATED YOUR WINGED EYELINER LOOK YOU ARE WEARING IN THIS VIDEO! I’ve seen load of vids on this batwing look but yours looks more like the way I’d like to do mine! Did I overlook the video? If you’ve got one will you please tag it in this comment? If you don’t have one then I’d love to see how you do it! New subscriber from Ft Myers, Florida 🇺🇸
Hi can I use Rose water and glycerin as a mixing linguist for my glitters
Thank you SO MUCH for this! But I was disappointed you didn't use the one by Illamasqua! It's not the most cost effective, but I've had amazing success making them into liners
You're welcome, I wanted to compare the ones I already have and did not want to buy more mixing mediums 😊 I am sure most brands make one these days.
@@Beautylashes19 ah that makes sense then. I thought you had bought some for the video. Duh, stupid. Sorry about that. Thanks still for your more critical approach. This rational gal really appreciates it
No worries 😊 I am happy I was able to compare these and help a few people 🙂
excellent job. could you do something similar w mixing mediums but not just w eye makeup. are there insider tips and tricks to use these in other makeup steps? (like the NYX's is perfect to make a pastel 'wash of colour' eye look w a given shadow. imagine adding shadow to a clear gel n applying it all over the lid. it kinda looks like you put a colour filter on your skin cz it doesnt have opacity.) do you have tips and tricks like that?
Yes, there are a ton of different "mixing mediums" in the market depending on one's needs. I also have another one from MAC that's not safe to use on the face because of its high alcohol content.. Similarly, you can also find gel based mediums for a dewy effect and the opacity can be controlled by how much pigment you mix in.
Very helpful! I wonder if mixing mediums perform well with normal glittery shadows too? The kind you'd usually use glitter glue with.
Yeah, they work well with all eyeshadows, especially in shimmer texture.. I have not used the liquid ones with regular glitter though.
@@Beautylashes19 thank you 🙃
Im about to picked up a mixing medium and found your channel. This review is so in depth! Thank you so much for making this ❤️ For Pat McGrath special shades, do you recommend Mehron the best or inglot/esum?
Thank you, I prefer ESUM and Mehron and I believe Pat used to have a pigment kit with the Mehron one.. so maybe go with that..
@@Beautylashes19 have you tried putting the mixing medium straight to your lids (using a brush) and add the eyeshadow on top? I hate wetting my brush and dipping into the pan. Trying to figure out the best way to use the liquid mixing medium
@@mizwonton7736 I haven't tried it like that.. You could try it and let me know if it works for you 😊
@@Beautylashes19 I just placed an order for Mehron and I’ll be sure to try that & let you know. Thanks again for this review ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful comparison, super helpful! Based on your recommendation, i purchased the esum mixing medium. However, i noticed that when i use the wet brush (dipped in mixing medium) and get to some pressed eye shadow it leaves a weird texture on the too of the shadow. It almost as if the shadow changes its texture. I really dont like it. Does it happen to you as well or do you only use mixing mediums with loose pigment?
Hi Diana, it's pretty normal for the hard pan to form on some eyeshadows. I'm not sure if I mentioned it in this video or another, but I use only a dedicated corner in each eyeshadow pan to use with a damp brush so the rest of the pan is fine to use dry if I want to. You may also want to try reducing the amount of mixing medium on the brush and giving it a go.
When you go in next over the hard pan area with a damp brush, it should work just fine 😊
I am considering the ELF Hydrating Booster Drops which even come with a dropper. do you think it would be good for this
That sounds more like a serum or moisturizer.. I would invest in a pro product that says Mixing medium (safe for eyes and lips).. the Mehron one is quite affordable and they have many sizes.
@@Beautylashes19 ok great thank you!
Hey beautiful. New Subsciber here. ❤️
Welcome hun 😘
Have you tried the Sample beauty gel infinity in one, or the sample beauty multi use liquid?? If you tried, do you recommend it? Thanks for the video!!
Hi, I haven't tried either of them unfortunately..
That's a great video, thank you! I noticed that the mehron really burns my eye lids and it seems like it gets cakes and starts crumbling really quickly (may be doing something wrong!)
Maybe you have really sensitive eyes (most mixing mediums contain some amount of Alcohol) or you may be using too much? Have you tried using an eye primer underneath it? I always use one under my eyeshadows.
@@Beautylashes19 I guess my eyes are on the sensitive side. I always use primer underneath.
Can the flaking come from using too much?
Thank you for your suggestions!
@@avallyn4498 flaking can come from using too much eyeshadow (or too little mixing liquid). Maybe practice on the back of your hand to get the right ratios.
@@Beautylashes19 thanks a million, will do 🖤
I love using Fryinne pixi epoxi for multichromes and alot of shimmers now some of the more flakey products it doesn't work as well
Thanks for sharing that. It's good to have options.
I wonder if the lit cosmetics one would work for making dewy cream blushes from matte shadows and blushes 🤔
My guess would be it won't make them dewy, it just gives a bit of a sheen.
Thank you for a good video. What is your favorite one out of 10 ? Thank you
Hi, I have mentioned my favourites in the video based on the test results 😊 I change which mixing medium I use depending on placement of the eyeshadow as I have quite watery eyes..
This video is great but I wish you would have included the NYX multitasker I just found out about it and it's been out for years
Thank you, I just made this video comparing the ones I already owned.. Didn't plan on buying any more out in the market (as you can imagine there's plenty more)..
@Beautylashes19 I actually did not know that there were even this many I had only heard about mehron, mac, inglot. I found mehron years ago. It's just nice with the NYX because it's so inexpensive and they really have great products they really all are inexpensive anyways.
Question! I just got the Mehron mixing liquid, is it okay that I dip my brush into the mixing liquid than directly onto my pressed eyeshadow palette? Will that ruin my eyeshadow?
I wouldn't recommend dipping into the liquid directly as you'll pick way too much mixing liquid and also contaminate the liquid with eyeshadow when you dip back for a second helping.. I would get a dropper (like I have shown in this video) or a dropper bottle to use with the liquid. This way you can control how much liquid you use at a time (also the brush tip just needs to be damp, not too wet).
Once the brush is damp, I would dip it into one corner of the eyeshadow pan. I re-dip into the same area when I'm using the eyeshadow wet. The rest of the pan is for when I'm using the shade dry. I hope this makes sense 😁
Hey can i use mixing medium to thin out my thick cream foundations and can i use duraline?
Hi, you can.. just make sure Alcohol is not one of the top ingredients.. it's a great mixer for a special occasion or when you really need the makeup to last but I would not use it on a daily basis. Your moisturizer or a formulated foundation thinner is better for frequent use..
Is the Mac mm for eyeliner just for eyeliner? & thank you for the information!!
No, I use it also as a eyeshadow and glitter base..
Lovely video. I wanted to purchase mehron but I have esum and duraline so I may not bother.
Good choice! :)
@@Beautylashes19 thank you very much!
Hi there, the lipstick you're wearing looks pretty on you . Could you tell me the shade? :)
Hi, sorry I don't remember what I had on but looks quite close to PMG flesh 3 lipstick.
can I use the mehron mixing liquid with the inglot gel liner or it’s just working with eyeshadows ?
Yes, you can use it with other products to create a water resistant finish. I haven't tried it specifically with Inglot liner as I have duraline but in theory, it should work the same.
If you have sensitive skin, I would recommend Inglot duraline over Mehron as it has milder ingredients.
Hi! Can Mehron mixing medium be used to fix dried out liquid lipstick? Thank you for this very informative video..
I am not sure about it.. I tried once with a Smashbox liquid lipstick and the mixing medium didn't revive it.. depends on the composition I guess..
@@Beautylashes19 ohh really...so it can't do what duraline can..I was thinking maybe I can purchase Mehron instead of Duraline since its cheaper..too bad..thanks for replying😊
Kya huda beauty foundation me mix kar sakte hai ye
Why would you want to do that?
Can we use this with gel eye liner
Sure, you can..
Which do you recommend for oily lids?
I use NARS pro prime eyeshadow base as eye primer and that works at preventing creasing. Any of the top mixing mediums I have recommended work well with it.
Maybe I can dampen the brush with water before picking up shadow and then spray the brush with liquid mixing medium. Could give less hard pan
Makeup collection please
😁😁😁
Can i just drop directly to eyeshadow pallet ?
No, you will develop hard pan and be unable to use the eyeshadow.
