I just tried this today, not sure where I went wrong but the first time it was too diluted so acted like water. the second time too concentrated that it burned my eyes D=
I tried this to make a mac fix plus product. instead of just purified water, i used an organic product called witch hazel beauty tonic which had purified water, witch hazel, tea tree and vitamin c. It really made my mineral foundation last much longer! thanks so much for the idea!
Love your videos!!! Just another suggestion for you. Could you please make a play list of DIY home made mixing medium , home made brush cleanser etc. it would make it so easy to find. I lost the paper I wrote the mixing amounts for mixing medium and brush cleanser :-)
Hey just an idea from a girl working in a laboratory...you can actually make a large quantity in a glass bottle with the cap half-screwed on top of it and sterilize it by boiling it in a pressure cooker for 20 min (start counting time after steam starts coming out). in biology we use glycerine dissolved in water to keep frozen cells and sterilize it the way I described, so no additives will have to be used, just an idea :)
If you want to preserve it and keep it longer as well as make it smell refreshing you can add Grapefruit extract available at most healthfood stores. This is what is used to preserve natural beuty products it also works as a mild stabelizer. I would use 7-10 drops for every 2 oz of product . Its very cheap as well and can be used to make everything smell good from your beuty products to homeade air and linen freshener.
@aussiedonna50 I was not aware of that however I was recommending it as a preservative. Most natural and Organic cosmetic products use Grapefruit extract. Since you do not agree this is suitable what do you recommend as a safe preservative and stabilizer.
don't pharmacies sell glycerin? (in Germany they all do, and some people like to use glycerin to care for their car door seals, or put it in the water of their Christmas trees to keep them fresh longer...)
I found the Glycerin at walmart but i was reading the back label and it says not to use around eye area x.x and that this is mainly used for dry and chapped areas etc...
@cookiecravingperson In stores like Walmart, ShopKo and in grocery stores it would be in the pharmacy area near the laxatives. Look for either a small clear bottle (like Koren's) or a small brown bottle. In craft stores (Michael's or Hobby Lobby) check the baking area since Wilson (baking supply company) sells it as well for icing. Yes, it's weird but true.
Could I use like the Elf Makeup Mist & Set as a mixing medium?? I spray it into the lid of my mineral shadows and use it as a liquid eyeliner, but could I use it to press mineral shadows and revive my gel liner?
If you're too lazy to make your own toner (as I am) use an alcohol-free toner. It has water, glycerin and then a smattering of other ingredients that generally don't irritate.
You just made my day! since we cant buy M.A.C. Pro. products here in Denmark, so thank you, i have a photoshoot on saturday, so its blend, blend and try out how i can make it run :oP
also you can find gycerin in craft stores. i know this cuz i used to use it to make personal care products. ie : lip glosses,soaps, and edible umm naughty stuff :X. even hair supply stores cuz it can be used to add to hair to keep your curls wt looking.
hey mr enkore :). i purchased my glycerine @ cvs and the ingredient just say vegetable glycerin. will that work? it's smaller and cheaper. it's hard 2 find the one that ur having on ur vid. :(
@xjanrehsmeyx have u try ur vegetable glycerin yet? i cant find that glycerin he have in this video too. i went to target and walgreen but they didnt have it bc i live in Alaska so i think we dont have rite aid over here. again have u try ur? is it work? if so please let me know so i can buy or order 1 for me. Thanks!
@eg9vtec@eg9vtec yes i have tried my vegetable glycerin and it does work! and a few days ago i went to riteaide and found the ONE bottle of glycerin that he's using in this vid, but i haven't tried mixing that yet because i wanted to finish my vegetable glycerin. so eg9 i hope this helps so u won't stress on tryin to find the 1 he's usin'. :)
FYI: the vegetable glycerin will also works if u wunna revive your gel liners and yes enkore has a vid on dat 2. :) .. he's da BOMB! luv him!
@reedleycali1 it's at the first aid aisle w/da bandages and stuff. gud luck tho cuz i only found ONE bottle of it. like koren said, it's hard to find. i guess wen u do find it buy a couple if u use it alot, if not jus keep an eye out for it wen ur half way gone n get ready to go on a mission and find em' again. :D .. gud luck.
@temachtianibeti You're right about it being difficult to find. My local Walgreens and RiteAid do not sell it in the store, they sell it online. I found mine at Albertsons and later at ShopKo (for 69 cents since it was on clearance). The product is in small brown bottles and not the tall clear one that Koren showed in his video. For those still looking for it you can also find it in craft stores like Michaels where they sell Wilson baking products since it's used in icing (weird but true).
@zadidoll I get a super high quality one from an herbal shop calle Mountain Rose herbs they have many uniques natural Organic oils and beuty products.
Glycerin is exactly why homemade natural soaps are sooooo much better for you, the natural glycerine is left in the soap, not removed like it is from EVERY commercial soap product out their today. Not to mention most soap makers use lots of other skin loving ingredients like shea and cocoa butters, plus much more.
@nicebluechica i would at least boil the tap water for 5 minutes minimum to kill off all the germs. tap water is basicallys ok for all different kinds of use, but you will keep the selfmade mixing medium (as he said) for up to 4 weeks and this would give the germs enough time to grow. this would be bad, especially when you use it for your eyes. purified water is cleared of germs already, so you don't have to boil it anymore. :)
Glycerin is used well for eyeshadow EXCEPT loose glitter pigments or nonglitter pigments! LADIES!! Try EYEDROPS for glitter pigments! WORK BEST!! EYEDROPS can work for any pigments or eyeshadows!
@beautybyHEART glycerin is a humectant and an external emollient. Basically it traps water. It's not necessarily considered medicine, it can be used for irritated bowls and constipation (as a suppository) but it's not something you need a prescription for.
u can get glycerin at wal mart for real cheap i see it all the time in the pharmacy section.... ill have to try this. i'm currently paying $15 for a brand name product that has a similar effect.... so we'll see....
actually the best homemade mexium medium (and it's totally all-natural and organic too!) is:
take the back of your hand spit slowly onto the back of it. now use a knife to scrape off some eyeshadow particle into the spit. mix both together with an unwashed unsanitized finger and there you go. blend it onto your inner rims with your finger and also onto your lids
Michaels arts and crafts sells glycerin in their Wilton (cake decorating) section. I dont remember what we sell it for or how big the bottle is, but its there lol
you are truely amazing..umust be really proud f urself that you are helping so many people with the knowledge you have.. good that we have youtube and we can reach u ..
I have oily skin, including my eyelids, and the formula given didn't work for me. The product just slid around and smeared.
I altered the formula for 4 tsp water, 1 tsp glycerin, and 1/2 tsp alchohol. This works quite well for me. Although you do have to be careful not to accidently touch your eye or waterline, as the achohol will sting!
Mixing Medium (like glycerin based) locks out moisture and seals makeup so it wont run or anything. Almost like powdering face paint to seal it but with pigments.
i've used honey as a sub for glycerin..its also a humectant. and b4 you ask..no honey water is not sticky..well it can be if you use too much honey. thats what i use when i cant find glycerin.
Hey enkore, Thanks for all your great videos. I had a concern actually. I went and bought the glycerin from rite aid like you had reccomended. The exact same one. However, when I read the back label, it clearly says, ...."avoid contact with eyes...". That cant possibly be a good thing --whether or not diluted. I'm concerned some people might have reactions or even worse.
It's a common safety precaution. It's not something you'd want to use like eyedrops, but it's gentle. It's used as a main ingredient in baby shampoos, btw. You can even eat most kinds! Glycerine is also commonly used as a sweetener and in store-bought icings. It IS generally safe for consumption but will burn when it gets in your eyes undiluted.
yeah i tried it once, and it worked for me, but if it doesn't really work for you, you can use 'spirit gum', which is an adhesive that you can use to stick the glitter on your face.
i don't think it's available in a store, but you'll probably find on ebay.
Brazilians use hairspray on their legs to make them shiny and firm during carnival so I've decided to try it as a finish spray on my face after aplying make up. It worked amazinly well. I used pantene classic touchable hairspray. Warning: Close your eyes very well and don't apply it too close to your face. Spray it as you spray on your hair.
im not very sure but i think he might be busy teaching people how to do make-up and making videos. I'll research it for you though and when i get you an answer ill tell you right away ^^
Keep giving us the 'recipes'! Love you!

You might also be able to find it at Target, ShopKo and Walmart in the pharmacy area OR they maybe able to special order it for you.
Other brands include:
Africare 100% Glycerin Oil
Gabels
Ben Nye
You might also be able to find it in a health food store or higher end grocery store that specializes in organic products. Good luck!

Hey enkore, Thanks for all your great videos. I had a concern actually. I went and bought the glycerin from rite aid like you had reccomended. The exact same one. However, when I read the back label, it clearly says, ...."avoid contact with eyes...". That cant possibly be a good thing --whether or not diluted. I'm concerned some people might have reactions or even worse.
Please look into it.
Thanks so much.

It's a common safety precaution. It's not something you'd want to use like eyedrops, but it's gentle. It's used as a main ingredient in baby shampoos, btw. You can even eat most kinds! Glycerine is also commonly used as a sweetener and in store-bought icings. It IS generally safe for consumption but will burn when it gets in your eyes undiluted.

Ciao, is homemade mixing medium able to seal also Mac Glitter in skin? Thank you.
Kartoshka1980 2 years ago
i don't think so, you'll need primer for that, i recommend urban decay's primer potion. :)

Really? I've got the Urban Decay Primer Potion... but are you sure it could seal glitter into skin? It's not like a glou, in my opinion...
Kartoshka1980 2 years ago
yeah i tried it once, and it worked for me, but if it doesn't really work for you, you can use 'spirit gum', which is an adhesive that you can use to stick the glitter on your face.
i don't think it's available in a store, but you'll probably find on ebay.
hope this helped. :)

Oh, I've never heard of "Spirit Gum": I'll try to find it. Thank you ;-)

Brazilians use hairspray on their legs to make them shiny and firm during carnival so I've decided to try it as a finish spray on my face after aplying make up. It worked amazinly well. I used pantene classic touchable hairspray. Warning: Close your eyes very well and don't apply it too close to your face. Spray it as you spray on your hair.

im not very sure but i think he might be busy teaching people how to do make-up and making videos. I'll research it for you though and when i get you an answer ill tell you right away ^^

Since the finished product is liquid, and you have your wet brush- would it make pressed eyeshadows crusty?
