Congratulations, you made watercolor! 🎉 Gum Arabic is the binder for watercolors, but you can rewet it with water and paint? Probably not on your face though. I use glittery powder eye shadows with gum Arabic to make glitter watercolors.
Gum arabic is actually a watercolor binder.. so blush as watercolor..if you add water it will melt and reactivate and you can paint with them🤗 Edit: I didn't mean to be sarcastic but i am an artist and she made paint with blush(by accident) just made me so happy for some reason so i am just welcoming her to paint with this preety colour 🥰🥰
You used a watercolor binder, which is what's used to make watercolors harden in their container, explaining why your blush just turned solid. You can always add water and paint with the blush if you want a paint to use!
I remember an influencer saying that it's spring here (America? I guess) , but surely it's autumn in another part of the globe so the X eye palette would be an amazing choice for fall
Your basic base for cream blush is Jojo butter, and aloe. Look at the back of the package and most of is Jojo butter, and/or coconut/cocoa butter. 🤗 easier one to grab is cocoa butter.
If this was done with a food grade binder it is perfect for when you accidentally drop a powder blush and it breaks, like I did with my favourite blush a few weeks ago!
No, no… use drops of alcohol on a shattered blush to restore it. Gum Arabic isn’t dangerous but it’s just going to bind the pigment to only move like paint, see? The actual color only moves with water when you bind it with gum Arabic, so it will apply and dry on your face as watercolor. Which doesn’t blend. It’s not dangerous or wrong but it’s hella wasteful unless you want to paint a LOT of that color on paper.
(I say this because gum Arabic, while labeled for art here, is acid+ glycerin, and buying a gum Arabic specifically labeled “food grade” will do the same as the video) The reason we have cosmetic chemists is to keep things safe and effective. Use a alcohol to repair and repan, mix a little with vaseline or baby oil, but don’t expect it not to spoil or to apply like formulated, preserved cosmetics that blend and move and work with a brush or a sponge or hands, see?
I have been crunching up blush and mixing it with my moisturizer for years now. I swear by it. It’s the perfect glow for your no makeup days. Same for highlighter.
The fact that she used art supplies😭 this is just a perfect example to do your research if you’re doing some thing if she didn’t wait three days she probably would have put it on her skin and most likely would’ve had a break out or something similar to that,
This is exactly what I was thinking. I was like, um I don't think you should be using that stuff on your face. Why didn't she just follow the tutorial in the original vid
What she did was made paint out of her blush and we all know that paint dries hard so if she put it on after the 24 hours it would probably start cracking at the end of the day
The gum arabic binder that you bought is specifically meant for whatercolor paints. it has extra additives in it that make the paints much harder once they have been panned up and then they reactivate with water. the Gum arabic you actually want to buy for use in makeup is a food grade powder that you mix with water. It has no extra additives and is skin safe and meant for use in food and makeup. When you get it you mix a small amount with water in a small squeeze bottle or jar and then wait 24 hours for it to fully dissolve and clarify. Then you can use it in makeup. Keep it on the fridge when you aren't using it and because it can go bad over time as it is a naturally derived plant resin. When you are turning it from powder into water, the ratio you mix it in is determined by how you plan to use it. Gum arabic is part of the ingredients for setting spray, natural hairspray, cream makeups, eye liners, and so much more. you can find lots of resources online for what kind of ratios to use depending on which products you want to make. hope this helpS!
@@leslie6039 it's so frustrating to me when these "makeup infuencers" do shorts videos or tiktoks without ever properly explaining all the materials or the products they are using, what to use and what to definitely not use because it is NOT SKIN SAFE and just tell their viewers "you can get it on amazon" and then people try and recreate it and they totally fail wasting perfectly good product and money and wonder what they did wrong.

I just created cream blush out of coconut oil and lipstick....melt the lipstick (dont over heat or it will splatter 🫣) and heat the coconut oil up to get a liquid consistency then mix together, pop in ghe freezer for a bit and voila! A super moisturizing cream blush/cheek tint! Also you can use it as a lip balm as well!!! Its gonna be so perfect this summer ☺️ Also the amount of lipstick you use will obviously have an effect on how pigmented your end product will be, personally im using the "tin" from a tealight candle and plan to make small amounts of different colors and levels of pigment until i find the "perfect" consistency but so far this 1 has me obsessed and excited to try all the colors!!! 😱😁

As an artist, I would definitely not use art materials on my skin. That’s a great way to get a rash OR expose yourself to really toxic materials. Lol Edit: I am well aware of what the gum Arabic is. I know it’s safe for humans. BUT what you don’t know is, Windsor and Newton may be including other additives that might not be as safe, because it’s an art material, not a food ingredient.🤦♀️ They are held to a different standard. They don’t need to disclose information. Lol If you wanna put it on your skin. Go for it. I really don’t care. My point is, by doing so (because it’s not a cosmetic grade item) you may get a rash. And in general, you don’t want to be putting art materials on your skin, because traditionally artists do work with toxic compounds. 🤦♀️😂 (And yes, we do work with materials that AREN’T, but if you aren’t familiar with the materials - like an artist - then you may not know what is and is not safe to expose your skin to)
@@krisdiane I’ve had friends who’ve talked about doing body paint with acrylics and I’m like, “uh yea don’t do that!” 😂 I’m honestly surprised at how many people don’t know how harmful or dangerous (depending on the material) that is. Like cadmium red/yellow?!?!! Bad plan. 😂
@@stephiegrennell8440 man I had a full argument with a lady on Facebook that insisted it was safe to ingest and bathe in Borax from the friggin laundry aisle. 🥴🥴🥴 I could not convince her that it wasn't even cosmetic safe let alone food safe. Some people just don't get that certifications are important and there for a reason. Eta: wouldn't acrylic just crack like crazy anyway?
@@krisdiane haha oh man.. people are silly. I’m not a overly crunchy person, but I am enough of a crunchy/granola person to know that so much of the products that surround us (especially in the US) are so full of toxins and are really not that safe to be using. 😂😂😂 the FDA gives zero F’s about our safety. 😂😂😂 I’m sure it would. But I think it was meant to be used quickly for photos.. still wouldn’t be something I’d want to put on my skin. 😂 I primarily work in ceramics which is great because it’s an organic material that doesn’t really affect anything. But I still wear gloves and am careful when I glaze. Thankfully lead isn’t a common element to work with now days. But I know of some artists that sometimes it use for sculpture work. Haha it’s just a safe practice to minimize the amount of skin exposure to some materials. 🤦♀️😂
You can also just mix a clear lip balm that isn’t irritating for the skin with a powder blush… or there’s other mixing mediums. Even face primer would work too.
I use inglot's mixing medium. And trust me, it lasts forever because you only ever need a drop or 2. It's great for making eyeshadow into liquid liner and stuff like that. Or in this case making powder blush into cream blush
I’m an artist and I took up making watercolors recently. Gum Arabic is used as a base for watercolor binder, so maybe you can use that failed attempt as watercolor.
Not me screaming when I saw Windsor & Newton on the label. I’m so glad you didn’t apply that to your skin. Next time get a food grade gum arabic! (Also now you can make some pretty bomb blush watercolor art 🤗)
This is the best hack ever you have to use your moisturizing cream and your blush mix it and it would be a cream blush and it would look so stunning.. And the thing you used into your blush had a chemical in its after 3 days it has to become solid. You could use something else like BB cream or moisturizing cream or sunscreen
if you have leftover cream blushes and powder ones you can xrush them together and melt in microwave 20 seconds(stir before it cools down).maybe add a crumb or two of coconut oil to the mixture to make it moister and sheerer.
Or here’s a thought… instead of putting potential toxic art materials on your skin just go out and buy a cream blush, there’s plenty of affordable ones like Milani’s cream pots, ELF putty blushes, Honest has a phenomenal formula as well 🙂
@@glimmerglade2436 She used paint grade chemicals and decided it was safe to pour into a cosmetics product meant for the skin. There's a MILLION reasons why traditional artists (watercolour, oil etc) are always lecturing people on ventilation and needing proper PPE when working with said chemicals. What she did could of been extremely dangerous. Let's be thankful she at least made a watercolour paint and it couldn't be applied directly to skin. Unless someone knows exactly what they're doing and what products (aka chemicals) they're trying to mix, nobody needs to be doing this "just for fun", especially from someone who recently made a shorts video asking for other influencers to "use products properly as intended".
@@LDaemontus I know it was dangerous. She should’ve looked the chemical up. She probably didn’t know. But she can also do what she wants. If she is willing to take the risk that’s her problem.
@@cerenemariajoy6683 like sage said, I literally just crushed up a few powder highlights that i thought would look pretty together (you can use just one) till it didnt have any clumps, then added some melted coconut oil (i tried to use very little), mixed and then set back in the container of one of the previous powder highlighters, put in the fridge for 20 minutes, and bam! now I had a cream highlighter
@@cerenemariajoy6683 rubbing alcohol works best! 1)crush it till it's finely grounded 2)completely flatten with a spoon (the more compact/tightly flatten, is better. less chance of breaking if you accidentally drop it) 3) slowly pour a few drops at a time of rubbing alcohol, you don't want to put too much. you just want to make sure it's evenly distributed and covered every part of it with alcohol. it should soak in. if you can see it swishing around you put too much. it should be a VERY thick consistency, it shouldn't even jiggle or move at all. 4) put a clear wrap over it so no dust or things get into it and leave it open to let dry for a few days, then enjoy!
Hun you can make Creme blush way easier all you have to do is crush the blush into a powder then get a clear lip gloss you don’t care about and mix a bit at a time until you get a constancy you want, the more lip gloss you add the more blush you will have but the more you add the less pigmented it is, after you are done, just dip your finger into it, apply it, and blend with beauty blender
Try mixing it with something safe for your face. Like moisturizer, or even a primer, I do that with eyeshadows sometimes when I want it to last all day lol
They make products specific for skin. I wouldn’t use an art binder for watercolor on the skin because it could really hurt you. There’s additives in it that can be unsafe and the product overall was never meant to be on skin so you should maybe not use it on your face. They do sell products for skin tho! I don’t want to sound judgmental or anything I am just nervous for your skin and health!!
No, no. Go off, sis. There's absolutely a time & place to provide accurate judgement for poor choices made and you don't need to validate someone else's emotions first before doing so, particularly that of a grown woman who needs to act and be better after producing a seperate shorts lecturing other people about not using products correctly. You're correct about the additives found within art supply mediums and you're also correct about it being damaging to one's health and skin. There's a reason why any professional artist will explain that to perform traditional art, you need to accquire sound understanding of safety for handling different chemicals because various products have been tied to certain cancers and certain products most certainly can burn or irritate the skin. The lesson here is that before taking on a new project, one must research and ask to ensure one's doing it correctly (and safely).
You used art supply for make up which is the first issue. Gun arabica is also a watercolour bone which turns water colour from a powder or even liquid into the little block you have in water colour painted that you then need water to activate. It will not work for your cream blush because it’s a wildly different formula.
She used HER money to buy that product, what's the issue? She is experimenting with her personal possessions, and you are acting like she ruins YOUR stuff😬
I would have used a medium like pure cocoa butter, melt and put powder in , stir then pour into a glass jar /tin allow to cool. Experiment with the ratio - the shelf life will be shorter tho. Maybe refrigerate. There are probably more pro options than that tho if you Google it
I always lose it when I see people casually destroy expensive products, I’m sure she got it as gratis from the company or whatever but that stuff ain’t cheap and she will never use it as a watercolor :(
Ohhhh dang now I know what to use to make my own paint, thank you! I also saw some pretty pigments at my local art store a while ago, so imma check that out!
Maybe use "cream" moisturizer, since you're suopose to be making cream blush? I saw someone else taking that route, and it kooked good. I'm going to try it too! It will be a game changer. If it is successful, however, I wonder how long will it last? 😅
Maybe that could work with a medium like facial moisturizer, in a cream formula. Maybe this couldn't work at all, cause face creams dry too after a while idk
Melt cocoa butter (1 tbsp) and 1/4 tsp beeswax or jojoba , a dab of coconut oil. Mix when melted (about 30 second in microwave), then, pour the ground powder into the mix., let sit until cool.
Should have used face oil or maybe a little moisturizer, what you used was watercolor binder and turned your blush into a watercolor paint... you could wet a brush and paint with it... so it's not completely lost
@Cassidy your response NEEDS to get boosted to the number one response. You solved the problem and provided perfect information about what went wrong. Thank you!
Okay obv the watercolor binder was where you went wrong but also….that blush shade wasn’t blush at all. It looked like straight-up bronzer. A blush is red, pink, orange, or purple: any color with a noticeable red undertone
Me, a decade ago using art fixative to secure my concealer over my tattoos so I could go to work, watching this video and smiling at her process, lmfao. Oh you sweet summer child.
Girl how u gonna say what did I do wrong when u said u we’re gonna make a cream blush. U used a water color maker thingy, then u say ur gonna leave it for 24 hours but then come back 3 days later, like did u not process what u just said/did?!?!?
Honestly surprised watercolor blush isn't a thing. Those liquid liners where they're hard and you add water would be fun as blushes. Plus a thin watercolor blush sounds super natch.
I think this just shows how much she believes she truly is a work of art! Her face is the canvas, her make up is the paint, and the finish product is a masterpiece.

I’m sure it would. But I think it was meant to be used quickly for photos.. still wouldn’t be something I’d want to put on my skin. 😂
I primarily work in ceramics which is great because it’s an organic material that doesn’t really affect anything. But I still wear gloves and am careful when I glaze. Thankfully lead isn’t a common element to work with now days. But I know of some artists that sometimes it use for sculpture work. Haha it’s just a safe practice to minimize the amount of skin exposure to some materials. 🤦♀️😂
Yes exactly
You can also just mix a clear lip balm that isn’t irritating for the skin with a powder blush… or there’s other mixing mediums. Even face primer would work too.
Congratulations🎉🥳👏 u made a paint 🎨🎨
It doesn't matter how many followers you have or how much famous you are...its very important to have common sense and to be well educated 👍
THIS IS SO FUNNY 😭
damm
Great point.
this is so true, she embarrassed herself
Laughed my ass off so hard that I'm now shaped like a 2x4 😂
Personally I use a facial cream for mixing with. Or I guess maybe you could look up what you could mix with to make a powder makeup into a cream. 💜
Shea butters ,or Coconut oil
Maybe Vaseline would work, they use it for making colored lip balm
I use inglot's mixing medium. And trust me, it lasts forever because you only ever need a drop or 2. It's great for making eyeshadow into liquid liner and stuff like that. Or in this case making powder blush into cream blush
Or she probably could have paid attention to the original video because I bet the person said what they do to make it into a cream….
My thoughts exactly🤦♀️
Buy pure mica pigments and add cream....lots of sweet colors to choose from, even colors shifting powders....all safe for cosmetic use
I’m an artist and I took up making watercolors recently. Gum Arabic is used as a base for watercolor binder, so maybe you can use that failed attempt as watercolor.
Not me screaming when I saw Windsor & Newton on the label. I’m so glad you didn’t apply that to your skin. Next time get a food grade gum arabic! (Also now you can make some pretty bomb blush watercolor art 🤗)
Girl how did you not read the clear label that said " gum Arabic : watercolor"
When I saw the gum arabic, as a person who makes their own watercolour paints, I gasped loudly 😅😅
This is the best hack ever you have to use your moisturizing cream and your blush mix it and it would be a cream blush and it would look so stunning..
And the thing you used into your blush had a chemical in its after 3 days it has to become solid.
You could use something else like BB cream or moisturizing cream or sunscreen
That's a watercolor binder, you make watercolor with it
You now have watercolor.
if you have leftover cream blushes and powder ones you can xrush them together and melt in microwave 20 seconds(stir before it cools down).maybe add a crumb or two of coconut oil to the mixture to make it moister and sheerer.
you put in watercolor mixing medium you just turned your blush into a water color. good for painting
Or here’s a thought… instead of putting potential toxic art materials on your skin just go out and buy a cream blush, there’s plenty of affordable ones like Milani’s cream pots, ELF putty blushes, Honest has a phenomenal formula as well 🙂
She just wanted to try something fun. Stop.
Or use baby oil with powder blush to make cheap BUT safe cream blush 😊
@@glimmerglade2436Natural selection.
@@glimmerglade2436 She used paint grade chemicals and decided it was safe to pour into a cosmetics product meant for the skin.
There's a MILLION reasons why traditional artists (watercolour, oil etc) are always lecturing people on ventilation and needing proper PPE when working with said chemicals.
What she did could of been extremely dangerous. Let's be thankful she at least made a watercolour paint and it couldn't be applied directly to skin.
Unless someone knows exactly what they're doing and what products (aka chemicals) they're trying to mix, nobody needs to be doing this "just for fun", especially from someone who recently made a shorts video asking for other influencers to "use products properly as intended".
@@LDaemontus I know it was dangerous. She should’ve looked the chemical up. She probably didn’t know. But she can also do what she wants. If she is willing to take the risk that’s her problem.
ive used an eensy bit of coconut oil to make cream highlighters. im sure it would do the same for blush if you tried
Could you please explain the process? I'd love to try that with mine
@@cerenemariajoy6683 just crush up a powder product and add a binder. you could add oil or moisturizer
@@cerenemariajoy6683 like sage said, I literally just crushed up a few powder highlights that i thought would look pretty together (you can use just one) till it didnt have any clumps, then added some melted coconut oil (i tried to use very little), mixed and then set back in the container of one of the previous powder highlighters, put in the fridge for 20 minutes, and bam! now I had a cream highlighter
@@cerenemariajoy6683 rubbing alcohol works best!
1)crush it till it's finely grounded
2)completely flatten with a spoon (the more compact/tightly flatten, is better. less chance of breaking if you accidentally drop it)
3) slowly pour a few drops at a time of rubbing alcohol, you don't want to put too much. you just want to make sure it's evenly distributed and covered every part of it with alcohol. it should soak in. if you can see it swishing around you put too much. it should be a VERY thick consistency, it shouldn't even jiggle or move at all.
4) put a clear wrap over it so no dust or things get into it and leave it open to let dry for a few days, then enjoy!
@@jessicanguyvn doesn't make it cream tho, I used to fix my broken powders with rubbing alcohol, it worked very well for that.
Hun you can make Creme blush way easier all you have to do is crush the blush into a powder then get a clear lip gloss you don’t care about and mix a bit at a time until you get a constancy you want, the more lip gloss you add the more blush you will have but the more you add the less pigmented it is, after you are done, just dip your finger into it, apply it, and blend with beauty blender
I love ur necklace btw!
Girl thought a watercolor binder would make her blush into a cream! 😂
As soon as I saw "Winsor and Newton" I was like okay- NOOO
Try mixing it with something safe for your face. Like moisturizer, or even a primer, I do that with eyeshadows sometimes when I want it to last all day lol
It’s because you use water color binder so it won’t work as blush but if you added some water you would get a pretty water color paint!
As soon as I saw the watercolor bottle I headed to the comments, and man oh man I’m living for them🎉
They make products specific for skin. I wouldn’t use an art binder for watercolor on the skin because it could really hurt you. There’s additives in it that can be unsafe and the product overall was never meant to be on skin so you should maybe not use it on your face. They do sell products for skin tho! I don’t want to sound judgmental or anything I am just nervous for your skin and health!!
No, no. Go off, sis. There's absolutely a time & place to provide accurate judgement for poor choices made and you don't need to validate someone else's emotions first before doing so, particularly that of a grown woman who needs to act and be better after producing a seperate shorts lecturing other people about not using products correctly.
You're correct about the additives found within art supply mediums and you're also correct about it being damaging to one's health and skin.
There's a reason why any professional artist will explain that to perform traditional art, you need to accquire sound understanding of safety for handling different chemicals because various products have been tied to certain cancers and certain products most certainly can burn or irritate the skin.
The lesson here is that before taking on a new project, one must research and ask to ensure one's doing it correctly (and safely).
Congratulations;; you made paint!
You used art supply for make up which is the first issue. Gun arabica is also a watercolour bone which turns water colour from a powder or even liquid into the little block you have in water colour painted that you then need water to activate. It will not work for your cream blush because it’s a wildly different formula.
Use a primer like a silicone or hydrating primer. Or for a glowy blush use an illuminating primer.
I was screaming when you started crushing your entire blush, instead of getting a small corner.😱
Same benefit products are so expensive in my country.. I was screaming too 😢
She used HER money to buy that product, what's the issue? She is experimenting with her personal possessions, and you are acting like she ruins YOUR stuff😬
I would have used a medium like pure cocoa butter, melt and put powder in , stir then pour into a glass jar /tin allow to cool. Experiment with the ratio - the shelf life will be shorter tho. Maybe refrigerate. There are probably more pro options than that tho if you Google it
These types of people make me so aggravated😂
Im surprised people didn’t know you can do this,just you know.. not with art supplies lol
Miss girl really used benefit 😭😭 that ish is EXPENSIVE
I always lose it when I see people casually destroy expensive products, I’m sure she got it as gratis from the company or whatever but that stuff ain’t cheap and she will never use it as a watercolor :(
Yeah, she could’ve at least tried to be a little in touch with her viewers and used an elf or covergirl blush 😑
Ohhhh dang now I know what to use to make my own paint, thank you! I also saw some pretty pigments at my local art store a while ago, so imma check that out!
Try mixing the shadow with a cream based concealer or foundation
Umh bestie that's for water colour. The best way will be to use cream or moisturizer which isn't too diluted, mix it well it'll work. Happy blending!
Well atleast you have a pretty water color now!
Winsor & newton mixing mediums are for art products….like PAINT!!
Maybe use "cream" moisturizer, since you're suopose to be making cream blush? I saw someone else taking that route, and it kooked good.
I'm going to try it too! It will be a game changer. If it is successful, however, I wonder how long will it last? 😅
She pulls out windsor and newton:
“Oh sweetie-“
Also don’t use that on your skin !
Her be like “I was supposed to wait 24 hours but it’s actually been three days” 3 seconds later “what did I do wrong?!”
anddddd she also used gum arabic (watercolor binder)
I mean it probably would've been fine if she hadn't used watercolor binder lmao
Maybe that could work with a medium like facial moisturizer, in a cream formula. Maybe this couldn't work at all, cause face creams dry too after a while idk
Melt cocoa butter (1 tbsp) and 1/4 tsp beeswax or jojoba , a dab of coconut oil. Mix when melted (about 30 second in microwave), then, pour the ground powder into the mix., let sit until cool.
Lmfao being an artist it made me laugh when you used gum arabic for watercolors in the blush. Hope it doesn't break you out
My first thought
blonde moment 😭😭😭😭😭
I use clear aloe gel or coconut oil, depending upon the season, humidity and whether or not I'm going through oily skin or dry skin phases.
Should have used face oil or maybe a little moisturizer, what you used was watercolor binder and turned your blush into a watercolor paint... you could wet a brush and paint with it... so it's not completely lost
lmao this is soooo funny, it literally have "watercolor" on the bottle LMAAOOO I CANTTTTTT
@Cassidy your response NEEDS to get boosted to the number one response. You solved the problem and provided perfect information about what went wrong. Thank you!
Mix it with primer instead. Silicone/dimethicone primers work well and create a blurred, pretty blush wash.
Okay obv the watercolor binder was where you went wrong but also….that blush shade wasn’t blush at all. It looked like straight-up bronzer. A blush is red, pink, orange, or purple: any color with a noticeable red undertone
Me, a decade ago using art fixative to secure my concealer over my tattoos so I could go to work, watching this video and smiling at her process, lmfao.
Oh you sweet summer child.
The binder you used is for watercolour and makeup like blush and eyeshadow work as pigments, so you've made watercolour
Oh. Oh you are literally making watercolor paint! That's so cool!
That's a lovely watercolour paint you just made XD
Me just staring at the RJ in the background👀
I was looking for you 🤣💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
*RJ* at the back!!! 💜😍
Lol..ya..💜🙌
💜💜💜
I love your make up looks❤❤
You made a fun water color.
Girl how u gonna say what did I do wrong when u said u we’re gonna make a cream blush. U used a water color maker thingy, then u say ur gonna leave it for 24 hours but then come back 3 days later, like did u not process what u just said/did?!?!?
I was thinking the same thing
Paying attention helps. Different kind of binders fulfill different kind of purposes.
You need to add foundation or moisturizer or moisturizing primer instead of mixing medium... All three works wonder❤
You used watercolor mixing medium- it turned your blush into watercolor paint, so, now you've got a real pretty paint lol
Bestie really bought a product clearly labelled for paint making, from an art brand, likely at michaels and proceeded to want to put it on her face
"What did I do wrong?" Well for starters YOU USED GUM ARABIC SJNDJFG
Honestly surprised watercolor blush isn't a thing. Those liquid liners where they're hard and you add water would be fun as blushes. Plus a thin watercolor blush sounds super natch.
I think this just shows how much she believes she truly is a work of art! Her face is the canvas, her make up is the paint, and the finish product is a masterpiece.
