A Fun Messy Affair; Depotting NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil 604 Milk

Depotting was fun yet real messy. Well, I'll definitely do it for my other NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils as well as the Glitter Mania ones. Much easier for me to use seriously :D

What you'll need:

• empty 5g containers (I'm using a random container)
• hairdryer
• something to hold the pencil eg. plier
• anti-slip mat

 

Instructions:

• Place the 5g container on the anti-slip mat to prevent container from moving. If not, it'll be super messy.
• Hold the pencil, with the tip facing downwards (contents will melt directly into the container) with the plier (no direct contact with the hot pencil).
• Take the hairdryer and start blowing at the pencil. I get really excited seeing the melting process LOL xD
• Wait for the contents to melt into the pot. It'll take around 5mins or so. Hands get really tired.
• To make sure all contents are emptied, just blow into the pencil and you should be hearing a hollow sound.
• Pls do not touch the container as it's really hot and the hot contents might spill onto your hands.
• Just wait another 5mins for the contents to cool down and solidify. Done!

Rich creamy white :D Fret not, the heating process dosn't affect the consistency.
