Not all Mixing Mediums are for makeup. Not all Mixing mediums are for art. You have to make sure what you're using is made for the medium you're trying to mix.
I giggled at the "how does that even work" bit after she's stirred it around. Ma'am, you mixed a liquid into a crushed solid, what the hell else would that do other than make a paste?
Congratulations, you made watercolor! 🎉 Gum Arabic is the binder for watercolors, but you can rewet it with water and paint? Probably not on your face though. I use glittery powder eye shadows with gum Arabic to make glitter watercolors.
I literally love this comment because I’ve been trying to figure out how to bind watercolors. My mom gave us quite a few of powdered water colors, and we wanted to mix them to create our own, but I wasn’t quite sure how to bind them. Now I know.❤
Gum arabic is actually a watercolor binder.. so blush as watercolor..if you add water it will melt and reactivate and you can paint with them🤗 Edit: I didn't mean to be sarcastic but i am an artist and she made paint with blush(by accident) just made me so happy for some reason so i am just welcoming her to paint with this preety colour 🥰🥰
I remember an influencer saying that it's spring here (America? I guess) , but surely it's autumn in another part of the globe so the X eye palette would be an amazing choice for fall
She saw a video on how to make a cream from a powder but she didn't know what he was using to make it a cream so she just used whatever that was and it didn't work
@@deannacauley166 yeah but she could of used a pproduct thats ment for her face anyway, she is sannoyed she ddnt do it right and didnt get the same result, its not that hard to look up that winsor and newton gum arabic watercolour binder dries solid. literally one google search. she could of used any lotions or face sprays into it and it would of worked fine, she picked a product that says watercolour on the bottle, and is from a well known artist brand, nothing to do with makeup. not regulated as safe to use for cosmetics even if it did work, so even if by some chance it did work, she would still then promote non cosmetic grade items to be used as cosmetics
@@deannacauley166it did work tho it's ✨ watercolor✨ binder to make yk watercolor so she no longer has blush she has water color if she drips water on it it will preform like watercolor so yeah it worked in the sense it did what the package said it was gonna do what it's made to do thinking it would do anything else was just stupid tbh she needs to use face oil
@@idkdude2010 The trick didn't work cause it wasn't what she wanted. Yeah it probably made really nice watercolor but no it did not work to make a cream blush lmao
The fact that she used art supplies😭 this is just a perfect example to do your research if you’re doing some thing if she didn’t wait three days she probably would have put it on her skin and most likely would’ve had a break out or something similar to that,
This is exactly what I was thinking. I was like, um I don't think you should be using that stuff on your face. Why didn't she just follow the tutorial in the original vid
What she did was made paint out of her blush and we all know that paint dries hard so if she put it on after the 24 hours it would probably start cracking at the end of the day
Your basic base for cream blush is Jojo butter, and aloe. Look at the back of the package and most of is Jojo butter, and/or coconut/cocoa butter. 🤗 easier one to grab is cocoa butter.
I have been crunching up blush and mixing it with my moisturizer for years now. I swear by it. It’s the perfect glow for your no makeup days. Same for highlighter.
gum arabic is an art mixing medium. as soon as she pulled out the W&N i knew she’d have a hockey puck. you can’t do extra things not done in the original tut and still expect perfect results.
@@84rinne_moo maybe she's never heard of "gum arabic" before. either way, it doesn't excuse her from not doing her research. but it also makes no sense how everyone is insulting her over a simple mistake. you can advise her, and move on. no need for insults.
If this was done with a food grade binder it is perfect for when you accidentally drop a powder blush and it breaks, like I did with my favourite blush a few weeks ago!
No, no… use drops of alcohol on a shattered blush to restore it. Gum Arabic isn’t dangerous but it’s just going to bind the pigment to only move like paint, see? The actual color only moves with water when you bind it with gum Arabic, so it will apply and dry on your face as watercolor. Which doesn’t blend. It’s not dangerous or wrong but it’s hella wasteful unless you want to paint a LOT of that color on paper.
(I say this because gum Arabic, while labeled for art here, is acid+ glycerin, and buying a gum Arabic specifically labeled “food grade” will do the same as the video) The reason we have cosmetic chemists is to keep things safe and effective. Use a alcohol to repair and repan, mix a little with vaseline or baby oil, but don’t expect it not to spoil or to apply like formulated, preserved cosmetics that blend and move and work with a brush or a sponge or hands, see?
As an artist, I would definitely not use art materials on my skin. That’s a great way to get a rash OR expose yourself to really toxic materials. Lol Edit: I am well aware of what the gum Arabic is. I know it’s safe for humans. BUT what you don’t know is, Windsor and Newton may be including other additives that might not be as safe, because it’s an art material, not a food ingredient.🤦♀️ They are held to a different standard. They don’t need to disclose information. Lol If you wanna put it on your skin. Go for it. I really don’t care. My point is, by doing so (because it’s not a cosmetic grade item) you may get a rash. And in general, you don’t want to be putting art materials on your skin, because traditionally artists do work with toxic compounds. 🤦♀️😂 (And yes, we do work with materials that AREN’T, but if you aren’t familiar with the materials - like an artist - then you may not know what is and is not safe to expose your skin to)
@@krisdiane I’ve had friends who’ve talked about doing body paint with acrylics and I’m like, “uh yea don’t do that!” 😂 I’m honestly surprised at how many people don’t know how harmful or dangerous (depending on the material) that is. Like cadmium red/yellow?!?!! Bad plan. 😂
@@stephiegrennell8440 man I had a full argument with a lady on Facebook that insisted it was safe to ingest and bathe in Borax from the friggin laundry aisle. 🥴🥴🥴 I could not convince her that it wasn't even cosmetic safe let alone food safe. Some people just don't get that certifications are important and there for a reason. Eta: wouldn't acrylic just crack like crazy anyway?
@@krisdiane haha oh man.. people are silly. I’m not a overly crunchy person, but I am enough of a crunchy/granola person to know that so much of the products that surround us (especially in the US) are so full of toxins and are really not that safe to be using. 😂😂😂 the FDA gives zero F’s about our safety. 😂😂😂 I’m sure it would. But I think it was meant to be used quickly for photos.. still wouldn’t be something I’d want to put on my skin. 😂 I primarily work in ceramics which is great because it’s an organic material that doesn’t really affect anything. But I still wear gloves and am careful when I glaze. Thankfully lead isn’t a common element to work with now days. But I know of some artists that sometimes it use for sculpture work. Haha it’s just a safe practice to minimize the amount of skin exposure to some materials. 🤦♀️😂
The gum arabic binder that you bought is specifically meant for whatercolor paints. it has extra additives in it that make the paints much harder once they have been panned up and then they reactivate with water. the Gum arabic you actually want to buy for use in makeup is a food grade powder that you mix with water. It has no extra additives and is skin safe and meant for use in food and makeup. When you get it you mix a small amount with water in a small squeeze bottle or jar and then wait 24 hours for it to fully dissolve and clarify. Then you can use it in makeup. Keep it on the fridge when you aren't using it and because it can go bad over time as it is a naturally derived plant resin. When you are turning it from powder into water, the ratio you mix it in is determined by how you plan to use it. Gum arabic is part of the ingredients for setting spray, natural hairspray, cream makeups, eye liners, and so much more. you can find lots of resources online for what kind of ratios to use depending on which products you want to make. hope this helpS!
@@leslie6039 it's so frustrating to me when these "makeup infuencers" do shorts videos or tiktoks without ever properly explaining all the materials or the products they are using, what to use and what to definitely not use because it is NOT SKIN SAFE and just tell their viewers "you can get it on amazon" and then people try and recreate it and they totally fail wasting perfectly good product and money and wonder what they did wrong.
@@CaptainCocktale I so appreciate your words of wisdom & excellent description of the problematic situation that follows when adequate information is not included on the video. It's mind-boggling. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Because it does matter especially when it comes to what you put on your skin.
I use inglot's mixing medium. And trust me, it lasts forever because you only ever need a drop or 2. It's great for making eyeshadow into liquid liner and stuff like that. Or in this case making powder blush into cream blush
You used a watercolor binder, which is what's used to make watercolors harden in their container, explaining why your blush just turned solid. You can always add water and paint with the blush if you want a paint to use!
Not me screaming when I saw Windsor & Newton on the label. I’m so glad you didn’t apply that to your skin. Next time get a food grade gum arabic! (Also now you can make some pretty bomb blush watercolor art 🤗)
Or here’s a thought… instead of putting potential toxic art materials on your skin just go out and buy a cream blush, there’s plenty of affordable ones like Milani’s cream pots, ELF putty blushes, Honest has a phenomenal formula as well 🙂
@@glimmerglade2436 She used paint grade chemicals and decided it was safe to pour into a cosmetics product meant for the skin. There's a MILLION reasons why traditional artists (watercolour, oil etc) are always lecturing people on ventilation and needing proper PPE when working with said chemicals. What she did could of been extremely dangerous. Let's be thankful she at least made a watercolour paint and it couldn't be applied directly to skin. Unless someone knows exactly what they're doing and what products (aka chemicals) they're trying to mix, nobody needs to be doing this "just for fun", especially from someone who recently made a shorts video asking for other influencers to "use products properly as intended".
@@LDaemontus I know it was dangerous. She should’ve looked the chemical up. She probably didn’t know. But she can also do what she wants. If she is willing to take the risk that’s her problem.
@@cerenemariajoy6683 like sage said, I literally just crushed up a few powder highlights that i thought would look pretty together (you can use just one) till it didnt have any clumps, then added some melted coconut oil (i tried to use very little), mixed and then set back in the container of one of the previous powder highlighters, put in the fridge for 20 minutes, and bam! now I had a cream highlighter
@@cerenemariajoy6683 rubbing alcohol works best! 1)crush it till it's finely grounded 2)completely flatten with a spoon (the more compact/tightly flatten, is better. less chance of breaking if you accidentally drop it) 3) slowly pour a few drops at a time of rubbing alcohol, you don't want to put too much. you just want to make sure it's evenly distributed and covered every part of it with alcohol. it should soak in. if you can see it swishing around you put too much. it should be a VERY thick consistency, it shouldn't even jiggle or move at all. 4) put a clear wrap over it so no dust or things get into it and leave it open to let dry for a few days, then enjoy!
She used HER money to buy that product, what's the issue? She is experimenting with her personal possessions, and you are acting like she ruins YOUR stuff😬
I always lose it when I see people casually destroy expensive products, I’m sure she got it as gratis from the company or whatever but that stuff ain’t cheap and she will never use it as a watercolor :(
@Cassidy your response NEEDS to get boosted to the number one response. You solved the problem and provided perfect information about what went wrong. Thank you!
You actually used watercolor binder, so instead of making a cream blush, you made a very pretty watercolor, maybe you should try activating it with water and painting with it! :)
They make products specific for skin. I wouldn’t use an art binder for watercolor on the skin because it could really hurt you. There’s additives in it that can be unsafe and the product overall was never meant to be on skin so you should maybe not use it on your face. They do sell products for skin tho! I don’t want to sound judgmental or anything I am just nervous for your skin and health!!
No, no. Go off, sis. There's absolutely a time & place to provide accurate judgement for poor choices made and you don't need to validate someone else's emotions first before doing so, particularly that of a grown woman who needs to act and be better after producing a seperate shorts lecturing other people about not using products correctly. You're correct about the additives found within art supply mediums and you're also correct about it being damaging to one's health and skin. There's a reason why any professional artist will explain that to perform traditional art, you need to accquire sound understanding of safety for handling different chemicals because various products have been tied to certain cancers and certain products most certainly can burn or irritate the skin. The lesson here is that before taking on a new project, one must research and ask to ensure one's doing it correctly (and safely).
Ohhhh dang now I know what to use to make my own paint, thank you! I also saw some pretty pigments at my local art store a while ago, so imma check that out!
I just created cream blush out of coconut oil and lipstick....melt the lipstick (dont over heat or it will splatter 🫣) and heat the coconut oil up to get a liquid consistency then mix together, pop in ghe freezer for a bit and voila! A super moisturizing cream blush/cheek tint! Also you can use it as a lip balm as well!!! Its gonna be so perfect this summer ☺️ Also the amount of lipstick you use will obviously have an effect on how pigmented your end product will be, personally im using the "tin" from a tealight candle and plan to make small amounts of different colors and levels of pigment until i find the "perfect" consistency but so far this 1 has me obsessed and excited to try all the colors!!! 😱😁
Me, a decade ago using art fixative to secure my concealer over my tattoos so I could go to work, watching this video and smiling at her process, lmfao. Oh you sweet summer child.
Girl how u gonna say what did I do wrong when u said u we’re gonna make a cream blush. U used a water color maker thingy, then u say ur gonna leave it for 24 hours but then come back 3 days later, like did u not process what u just said/did?!?!?
if you have leftover cream blushes and powder ones you can xrush them together and melt in microwave 20 seconds(stir before it cools down).maybe add a crumb or two of coconut oil to the mixture to make it moister and sheerer.
I REALLY wouldn’t put paint mixing supplies on your skin. Some of it can be toxic or extremely drying. Gum Arabic is used in watercolors so if you look at watercolors after they dry, they start cracking sometimes, imagine that on your skin. 😬😬😬
You can also just mix a clear lip balm that isn’t irritating for the skin with a powder blush… or there’s other mixing mediums. Even face primer would work too.
Maybe use "cream" moisturizer, since you're suopose to be making cream blush? I saw someone else taking that route, and it kooked good. I'm going to try it too! It will be a game changer. If it is successful, however, I wonder how long will it last? 😅
