Mixing tricks

[Soulgirl]

[font=Lucida Handwriting, Cursive]Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me.[/font]
[font=Lucida Handwriting, Cursive]I would like to know how do you mix gels, for example, how do you measure the quantities for creating a costumized pink or mixing glitter with gel?[/font]
[font=Lucida Handwriting, Cursive]I have been doing that with the brush but that way I never know if it is the same amount of gel I'm adding.[/font]
[font=Lucida Handwriting, Cursive]Does this make any sense? Thanks[/font]

When I mix gel I use a small wooden stick, like the coffee stirrers you get from starbucks lol..............that way the scoops are pretty much the same size...........
I don't mix gels with my brush........
HTH

Oh I see, those flat oval sticks righ??
By the way I don't mix my gels with brushes either. Have a mixing stick to do that. I was using the brush to scoop the gel, but now I see that those sticks you're talking about are way better! Thanks, I'll try that!
