#but its important to remember that these arent professional grade paints with professional lightfastness testing and not every maker is

i do like those videos where they make watercolors out of makeup but i rlly hope no one actually tries to use them for serious peices bc i appriciate the art form of paint making and i love the idea of recycling pigments that are expired but. there is a bit of an archival concern there considering makeup pigments aren’t designed for exposure to light beyond a few hours and fillers and binders used in makeup can contain a lot of oils and other additions that are gr8 for your skin but not so much for paper. and also i shouldnt have to say this but please avoid using used makeup for paintmaking its just not. very sanitary lol. i know its going on paper but that doesnt mean theres not a bit of a cross contamiation concern with skin cells and oil since that can degrade paper.

#turned of rbs bc i dont rlly. 100% have my facts down here its mostly speculation but i may be wrong #i 💖 handmade paints and have a small collection #but its important to remember that these arent professional grade paints with professional lightfastness testing and not every maker is #transparent abt what pigments and binders they use #so its just. take it with a grain of salt. its higher quality than some paints but they dont have to do certain tests #big brands to so you have to be careful and understand they may not have as good lightfastness
