Just a thought here, tooth picks are WAY thin and perhaps do not pick up the pigment to mix it from the bottom of the pot...depending on my mood and organization during the day, I have a stainless steel dental spatula that dental assitants use too mix cements and dental goo...that works wonders ( I have the Axxiuum, but don use it often) OR if I can not find my head from a hole in the groud on a particular day, I use plastic cosmetic spatulas with a short handle...both of these scrape the bottom of the pots and I use a folding motion, thus mixing the pigment throroughly-slowly or they bubble too!...FYI from a newbie...Luck and love with the mixing and pigment challenge!
