How To "Pot" Cream Sticks

I've had so many people ask me in messages how to "pot" a NYX Jumbo e/s Pencil. I've always had to write how to do it, and it drives me mad because it takes too long! So I finally made a tutorial. I'm sorry the lighting isn't great, I was in my living room.

Here's the link to Gypsydancermacaholic's tutorial with her friend where they try both methods:

You can "pot" a lot of different pencils, they don't have to be NYX, I've done this with L'Oreal HiP Cream Color Crayons too, any will work as long as you can heat the product enough to melt it, blow drying the side of a pencil will do the job too.

Awesome! I'm so glad you got some, you'll have to message me and tell me what colours you got!! I don't know which tut to start with out of the 8, so I'll choose by what colours you got!! :)

nice colors! I love Divine Dive! But since you wrote Funburst first, and it's the "first" look on the site, I'll start with that one! Talk to you soon!

Hope your better now but its fantastic that even illness doesn't suspend your creative commitment to Youtube x

LOL! We had a bitch of a time trying to get that metal part off. I potted 5 more after and figured out an easier way to remove it. You made it look like a cinch.

So u used the sticky part of the liner to hold the pot so it didn't fly? Smart - I was thinking about taping my pot to the surface so it wouldn't fly by about my fifth pot.
