Watercolor Paints Made From Make Up

A great way to reuse old makeup!

About

I was inspired by a girl on social media who reuse old make up and makes them into watercolor paints.
I will admit I had to use a combination of my current watercolors and the watercolors I made to get the amazing results I got.
I love how it makes the picture shimmer!
The recipe was somewhat easy to understand (due to training I had to do for my occupation) but it was still a little difficult to make.

If I can figure out a way to make the recipe more "understandable" I will post a tutorial on how I did it. The artist who inspired me though has a video with the recipe in it though.
The artist that inspired me to make my own watercolors can be found on YouTube, Instagram and tik tok.
