How to depot Mac & NYX

I'm sure most of you have seen the hundreds of Mac shadow depotting videos on YT (both with and without heat) but did you know that you could also depot your Mac premade quads like the Cult f Cherry ones? And did you know that you could also depot your Urban Decay, NYX, Milani etc. shadows? And even your NYX Jumbo Crayons?

As I said there are tons of videos out there but in case you don't feel like weeding through them all here are some of my favorites.

  2. @Tali - Oh no! Did the shadow totally break? If it did there are videos on how to repair them too. Let me know if you aren't aware of them and I can send them to you or just check out Enkore's page he has them on there.

  4. @Tali as long as it isn't a matte the alcohol method works well, I've had to do it twice (once a shadow just fell and cracked). I get the potted shadows so that I can B2M and get a free shadow. I'm sure I'm not really saving any money but "free" gets me every time. So far though I've only had 1 depotting casualty out of close to 60 shadows.
