In the beginning it feels slightly questionable, a bit dry, a bit uneven, and you might wonder if this was a good idea. Then it changes. It becomes smoother, heavier, more like something that wants to be paint instead of powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"745\" data-end=\"1034\"\u003e\u003cimg\u003eAt that point you start adjusting it without overthinking. A little more binder if it feels too stubborn, a bit more pigment if it feels too polite. You move it around, work it in, and somewhere in the middle of that you realize you are not just mixing something, you are understanding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1197\"\u003eWhen it feels right, you move it into the pans and let it dry.
