Askmewhats

I am not a born artist and anything that looks like "painting" or "drawing" products scares the hell out of my brains! I am allergic to anything artistic and I am quite surprised I grew up to be a Makeup Artist. That's one mystery in life I guess.

I've always thought mixing tools for makeup are useless and just a marketing strategy to make people spend more money. But when I get into makeup class and learning that being a makeup artist, I don't need to own every shade of foundation available in the world, I learned the art of mixing, and with the art of mixing, comes the mixing tools needed! Embarrassing for me to admit, I've used square carton boxes to mix my stuffs and girl, I swear, it doesn't look good! :)

That's when stainless steel mixing plates made especially for makeup artists or enthusiasts. I'm glad we have it available down here and I don't need to look for it at the "cooking" section!

Pros

made of stainless steel, do not rust
very handy, perfect for mixing lip product, foundation or any other cream/ liquid based makeup
very professional looking
easy to clean up

Cons

useless for people who hates mixing their make-up
quite pricey for a mixing plate (but this lasts forever!)

Overall

I've used a lot of plastic plates or even cardboard to mix my makeup and it doesn't look professional at all! I'm glad I got my own stainless steel plate for mixing which looks very professional and hygienic at the same time. This is perfect not only for makeup artists but for make-up addicts out there who loves mixing their foundation or even lipstick shades! I am one lipstick mixer so this is a perfect tool for me! I like it that the plate is quite spacious so I have enough space to mix different products without having to wipe the plate each and every time.
