Metina's Dippy Pot

I read one of the first threads on Metina's dipping pots and WOW this truly reflected in our work. We've been doing it for a while. Our 3 painters were over joyed with their pots of black and white.
Warning, we found the stackable bead containers are of a brittle material and had three crack in our kits.
Bare Minerals makeup users will find their eyeshadow & small blush contains are sturdy and perfect size.
Thank you so much for this little idea that certainly plays big on jobs!

Yes! I agree skj! I just added silver & gold (Mehron powder w/Mehron mixing liquid) dippy pots to my kit. The glitter jars work well, also--

Oh thank you for that warning!


@Kat, how have yours held up?

Got my containers ready! Gunna make some dippy pots tonight. Also got a a small spray bottle. Going to try the whole spraying paints/sponge thing.

You'll love it and get hooked, Kara!

anniel, do you mean you've mixed it up ahead of time, and just keep it like that? Ready to go? How long would it last for?
I love their silver and gold and love the idea of pre-making it and always having it ready!

I love mixing liquid and gold and silver, but never thought of that...how is it working? I have almost every color you can think of for mica powder too....hmmmm....

I made gold and silver dippy pots as well... I used gold and silver paint and added some metallic powder and some boiling water, just as we do with the black and white. They're fantastic for adding dots and some highlights to designs, especially the masks

oh boy...my mind is blown! I am so going to do this. You could do a whole lace mask out of the gold and it would be specatacular.....henna desings with jewels? OMG. spinning. I gotta watch some foot ball right now, but I am soooooo painting at half time.

OOOOOooo lace mask....

As far as how long it lasts? I just add more liquid as it needs...

Ok so I tried a dippy pot, followed Metina's instructions... and it seems I have to add water to it every time I want to use it. It VERY quickly goes back to a too-thick texture, kind of like soft butter. Every time. Thoughts??

I just consider adding the water before a gig part of my preparation

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this thread. Thanks, once again, Metina!

o what a great idea i am going to do this thank u

Wow, this just keeps getting better and better! Thanks for this my life just got a lot easier

I think these might be perfect... http://www.nilecorp.com/product/14946/Plastic_Storage_Containers_1_Dia_1_1_8_H_Screw_on_lids.html

those would be great Erica. but i sell Avon, and they have a small jar with black and a couple other colors that have cake eye liner in it that you wet. i am going to use those jars. I will try and take a picture sometime this week. or any very small eye cream jar (that was mentioned above) would work too! Haven't tried it yet. had forgot about it until you guys posted again recently on here... thanks for that!!!!

love the idea! would eye contact case work? I have tons.

It might work..but they are super small... but just try and see.
