Mixing different brands
“Yes, you can mix pigments from different brands - most professional artists do it. Do not fall for the marketing hype of some producers who suggest not to do it.”
We have received tons of messages concerning that. Here are tips based on answers to those questions.
Yes, you can mix pigments from different brands - most professional artists do it. Do not fall for the marketing hype of some producers who suggest not to do it.
No, the "water test" (when spilling a drop of mix in the water and seeing if it separates) by no means indicates if the mix will last in the skin. It just often indicates that some pigments certainly do not mix.
Yes, the main additives have to be the same. Also, get correct lists of real additive ingredient amounts from Holistic PMU, and do not trust the comically minimal info you see on the label.
No, you should not mix different particle-sized micronized main colorants - it just won't give the desired effect when healing, and you are pretty much wasting your time.
Yes, you can mix inorganic pigments with organics - we have done it for years, and most professional artists have good recipes for their "pseudo-hybrids."
No, you should not take the lightfastness properties the produceers print on the labels for face value. Search our database on over 700 adjusted indexes for true lightfastness (as it is affected by many other components in the mix, not just the colorant).
Yes, you should always adjust your blacks to make them engulfable by macrophages. Learn the aggregation rules and how to make the blacks "attractive" for a maximal natural decrease in phagocytosis if you do not want to oversaturate.
On Holistic PMU platforms (Business account), there are now over 300 pages of additional material on blacks alone reviewed by cellular biologists and chemists.
Learn from real professionals, not PMU-Hobbists.
