FRANKENSHADOWS: How I Do It and What I Did | Modern Renaissance

[@emilyrebekah1]

You are the quarantine entertainment I desperately need 😘 Also- your hair looks incredible 🥰

[@shadowsmoked88]

Love you

[@alanashanah]

I Franken-mixed all my favorite highlighters and blushes when I hit a lot of pan and wanted to declutter the packaging. I use the reusable pots from lush to store them. They are my favorite shades to use now and I haven’t bought new blush or highlighters about 2 years. I have 3 pots a light golden bronze/highlighter a deeper contour/bronzer and a pinky sheer/shimmer highlighter. AND LESS CLUTTER ✌️I’m ready/ inspired to Frankenstein my shadows 💗thank you

[@kelsey2333]

I adore the new love letter shade you made!!! Its like a metallic periwinkle

[@Stormaggedonx]

The records in the background are back! I missed them

[@OrleidisLozada]

Love this video!! This is our "old Elle" back! 😁🥰

[@Undeadharpie]

I’ve made frankenblushes, but not shadows. Since I’m still in early sobriety, I’ve had hesitations to buy rubbing alcohol. I used setting spray and that worked a lot

[@jillyfish72]

Kelly Barry 👏 Go you! Thank you for the tip xxj

[@gailbook70]

Thank you for that tip! I will try that.

[@shadowsmoked88]

Good idea!

[@kelsey2333]

Congrats!!!! I used to have a hard drug addiction, but I've been clean for 8 months now!!! My life and mental well being is so much better!!

[@sun_buddy]

i have been doing this for YEARS and its helped me to declutter, save money and get shades i want without buying them!!! as well as turning duds into gems

[@gailbook70]

You are one talented woman. Unbelievable that you do not have more subscribers. What a shame! The final Cyprus Umber is such a beautiful shade. It looks gorgeous in the pan. Great job on your selection! I love the colors you are wearing. Absolutely beautiful! I have to watch this again later and take notes. You are giving me some great ideas for the shadows that I do not use because I am not happy with the color. Let me go back to the video now. Thank you for the tips. I will make sure to play with the colors first. I will only use a small amount at first and build up from there before I put it in the pan. I wash and save my glass containers once I use up a product. I want to use the glass jars for mixing my shades. Your voice changed at the end of the end of the video. I heard the excitement in your voice. Good for you! Have fun with your makeup. Enjoy your beautiful new shades. You did an amazing job with your selections. Excellent video!!

[@kelsey2333]

Safiya nygaard has left the chat lol awesome video!!

[@daisycate]

Love that one that you made with the gold - the metallic orange.

[@heatherd932]

Oooooo, I love the Frankenshadow with your sweater! This was so fun, great video Elle :)

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you!

[@danithilette]

😍😍 Never heard of Franken shadows!. I have a jd Glow shadow that I wish was more green!! Totally adding green to it. Thank you!

[@lolaphearse3688]

You have a great eye for color combos- the Frankenshadows are beautiful! What an excellent way of not wasting shadows that you don’t love!!!

[@juliaridley75]

So happy you showed us the frankenshadows you made! So satisfying and resourceful, especially considering what's happening in the world :)

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you, Julia!

[@munbun75]

First reaction. Love this hair look. Absolutely stunning. Living for it. I’m very interested in this topic though cause I have one shade in pallet that is this awkward hard to use shade that just doesn’t usually suit my looks so I’m interested in trying to warm it up with another color and see if I can still get some use out it.

[@jiyoungyu419]

What a unique eye look. 😍 love it!!!

[@skylilly1]

Good idea to do some research on which colors to mix. I like blurple and bronzey tones. I sometimes use shadow as blush, too. I'll swirl a small area on top of my hand if it's kind of dark and use it from there. Good vid!

[@nette101]

Love this video on what you did with the eyeshadows

[@Kimbyroseh]

This is pretty neat! I can’t wait to see looks with your new Frankenshadows, especially the love letter color!

[@KCallia]

Looks fun! Stunning transformation on Love Letter. ❤️

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with it.

[@elizabetheichner4747]

I love this video. I also like to Frankenstein things up from time to time. it's fun. Also, I love your firey fierce eyeshadow make up look.

[@mymakeupnonsense]

I love frankening! It makes makeup so much more fun and personalized. It also helps you use shades that you would’ve normally neglected. I’m really craving to franken more recently....

[@shadowsmoked88]

Do it!!

[@ashplayssims]

One thing that I suggest for repressing they Frankenshadow is to put the alcohol into a spray bottle! I always feel like I would end up with too much alcohol, so instead I use a spray bottle to spray a little bit at a time, adding more as needed

[@shadowsmoked88]

That's a great idea! If I had a little spray bottle I would absolutely do that.

[@justsiobhan1658]

Great to see you so animated and enthusiastic! You really inspire me and its great to see your creativity here...its infectious...im really inspired to experiment with my collection now!

[@thol1187]

Love seeing the colors you made!

[@littleredgoddesspersephone3982]

That bluish purple is a color that should have been in the Norvina palette! It is amazing! I love all the shadows you did but that color and the orange gold are perfection!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you!! I'm so happy with how they turned out

[@hirrorstories]

Please everyone watch the ads until the end to support her. Also if you feel bored and have time can you show us all your franken makeup? I think mixing them is a great way to stop wanting to buy new shades

[@sofiagriffith9694]

I really liked this video, I think I am going to try this.

[@doctorajaguar]

This is super creative!!! Haha I looove the final results!! I should do the same with my own MR. I have a super colorful palette that I bough last year (a dupe for the Huda colorful smaller shadows) that I only wear twice, I should mix it with it!! I also have the Tarte Tartelette in bloom wich is as old as my MR. I have several pans in bought, maybe I could create something new! Yaaass its gonna be fun

[@Bethsbeautydiary]

I love your eye look today...this was inspiring 💕

[@KellyLange1921]

Aside from amazing content... you look absolutely stunning ❤

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you! That is so kind

[@JustSheilz]

LOVED THIS!!!! I have so many ideas now!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Ah that makes me so happy!

[@electraheart7745]

This is an awesome idea I love the gold shade you made

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you!

[@persephonegrail1995]

I watched this the day it launched, thought on it, and then last night I tackled the prospect of making my own charcoal metallic shadow- I'm not someone who owns a lot of neutrals, and I haven't done anything smoky since high school where I spent all of it rocking raccoon eyes. Something in me snapped and wanted a full-blown charcoal smoky eye with a deep red lip and baby pink blush- I had everything but the charcoal. xD The first time I did it, I pressed the shadow too hard, and then the second time, I mixed more shadows together, made it more finely milled, and did what you did via putting it in the pan- it's the most sparkly charcoal metallic I've seen, and it made my heart so happy. All it took was a silver pigment, one of those dread black mattes with glitter in them I'd never have used anyway, one of my blue-purple sparkly iridescent shades, a pinch of a regular black matte, and a pinch of a blue-white duochrome. I love her so so so much.

[@shadowsmoked88]

This makes me SO HAPPY!!! Your creation sounds absolutely divine. And so inspired! I am reminded of a silver pigment I have now (and some other pigments) and I want to utilize them for some future frankenshadows. Thank you!!

[@persephonegrail1995]

@@shadowsmoked88 I can't wait to see what you do! :3 I would have never used that pigment if I hadn't watched your video, and I've had it since 2016, and only used it a handful of times ,which is a shame.

[@MakeupandMumLife]

Thank you for sharing this. I've just gotten the courage to start frankening some of my makeup and loving it xx

[@Melodymoon-r7o]

Your hair looks so cool! 😎😎😎

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you!

[@jillyfish72]

You look gorgeous! Definitely not 🧡💛colours I appreciate usually, but you make it look 😊 lovely. Thank you for all the inspiration xxj

[@MsAlyssaJM]

I love what you did to this palette!

[@DJPoundPuppy]

Fun idea!

[@xanadu3566]

I love this. You made some great colors for sure.

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you!

[@lisadippity]

This makeup look is stunning! It’s so cool! I was so distracted by the eye look I had to rewatch the video! 💜

[@OrleidisLozada]

Also the new palette looks so good!! Now I want to pair my MR with purples and bronzes too!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Yesss!

[@elizabethj8130]

Love the hair !!! I decluttered a few Anastasia palettes in the past, but I wish I would have done this instead. Will think about how to move forward with my collection a bit more creatively.

[@ivvie1452]

I tried the same sweater on because I melted when I touched the fabric and how soft it was. Sadly, it was too short and too loose and too expensive (Swedish prices suck). Also, I'm glad the records are back on the wall!

[@shadowsmoked88]

It cost me about $20 CAD. I got it in the fall, I think. It is rather short but pairs well with high-waisted pants!

[@peony70]

I love these type of videos would love to see you creating more frankenshadows. What percentage alcohol do you use?

[@shadowsmoked88]

I'm pretty sure my bottle is 99%. But a lot of the things I've read about repressing shadows say to use 70%

[@RGJenn]

What fun! I wonder if I could revive my Sweet Peach palette; it has a lot of pan because I used to love it. Maybe I could love it again!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Definitely! I think there's a lot of potential with that palette.

[@Elocinandnoved]

Thank you for sharing!

[@shadowsmoked88]

Thank you for watching!

[@misstara1811]

What did you use as your inner corner highlight? I neeeeed it. It's amazing

[@shadowsmoked88]

I'm so sorry- I don't remember for sure! It was probably Roadstripe from Urban Decay.

[@snakesonaplanerox]

I made some frankenshadows and it was fun, but I'm not sure I went in with the right plan. I may have to try again with frankening one or two shadows while panning a palette...instead of trying to create a magical perfect frankepalette

[@AnkV]

I actually used a flexible knife and a spoon to crush and rub everything toghether. And a small plastic spatula to scrape stuff off. I used an old nabla luna i had a huge pan of with my mini nars hot sands ( to dry and hard to use) to create a shadow to put in a compact :) imgur.com/a/NteJqzH. But i did thouroughly repressed as i wanted to be able to carry the compact in my purse. Time will tell on that but the color is pretty good. A perfect poweder match for chanel scintiliance cream ( more golden than nabla but more pigmented than the nars highlight)
