AAH - How I use Model Magic.

Over the years a common review of my videos brings up the material I love the most. Model Magic is a modeling clay

So many people over the years have asked questions about using this clay that I have come up with some popular questions and answers. 

Q: What is Model Magic?

Glancing at this packing you might think this will too child oriented for any practical use and to a degree this is correct. Using the clay straight from the package leads to major problems such as uneven texture and drying or worse cracking. 

Q. How do I fix texture and cracking?
To remedy this I use a spritzer bottle filled with water to spray my clay as I am sculpting to keep it hydrated. I will also keep some in a plastic zip-lock bag and spray water in when it begins to dry. By controlling the hydration of the clay it allows for the clay to dry evenly and when it has fully dried (about 4 days on average) usually it has an even texture that is hard and sustainable. 


Q. What can I make with Model Magic?
Just about anything can be made with model magic, if you want to see pictures of some of the projects I have created take a look at my Pinterest Board -https://www.pinterest.com/alicearisuheart/model-magic-crafting/

Estee Lauder Gilded Rose Set

Bought these a while ago but I am just posting these as a review. These are a set of eyeshadows and marbleized shimmer powder. The eyeshadows come gilded but the gold is not incorporated into the shadows. These are satin colors one light baby pink, a magenta pink, a peachy tan pink, and the fourth is a tawny rose color. Super close to matte powders and a little disappointing because the "rose gold" overlay comes right off with one swipe. The colors are very nice though even if the overlay goes away. The marble shimmer powder feels good on my skin but as I have some tan left on my skin the rose blends a little bit too much. So a fair skin or yellowed skin will really benefit from the color in the marble if you want to use it as a blush. Otherwise the shimmer looks good as a general highlight. I did not buy both at the same time I got them from my local CCO for around 16.00 a piece. Compared to retail Estee Lauder prices this is very cheap. I wished there was a rose gold match...

Sailor Moon case by YYKawaii

So my dear new friend Yan (whose name makes the YY) made this case or me. She has an Etsy shop where she has soo many different cases, she makes lovely designs that are all amazing. I love her cases so much I decided to make some myself (and went a little crazy). Mine are definitely different from hers but I can't compare when it comes to her style. I've seen a lot of different decoden shops and very few are not only consistent (without being repetitive) but accommodate different themes. So here is the first case I will show you. Its a sailor moon case and its the most absolutely fabulous case ever! I couldn't make one better myself and I mean that.
