Homemade Eye Shadow

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could make your own eye shadow and achieve exactly the colour you’ve always wanted, without having to pay a fortune?

Here’s your chance Ladies!

INGREDIENTS

  • Powdered Base
  • 1g magnesium stearate
  • 2g cornflour
  • 3g talc
  • 5 drops jojoba oil
  • Powdered cosmetic colours suitable for eyes such as Micas, Oxides, Pigments and Ultramarines

METHOD

  1. Place the powdered base powders in a small bowl and carefully blend in a grinding motion with teaspoon (putting the powders through a fine mesh sieve helps)
  2. Add the drops of jojoba oil and continue to blend until thoroughly mixed in.
  3. PLEASE NOTE THAT AT THIS STAGE YOU CAN SPLIT THE POWDER MIXTURE INTO TWO BOWLS AND ADD DIFFERENT BLENDS OR STRENGTHS OF COLOUR IF YOU WISH TO EXPERIMENT A LITTLE.
  4. Gradually add the powdered cosmetic colours until you have the desired colour (test on back of hand). The rule is START WITH A LITTLE COLOUR AND GRADUALLY ADD MORE.
  5. NOTE: Even when you believe you have thoroughly blended the colours together, check by rubbing a little on the back of your hand. If there are any unwanted colour streaks, return to the bowl and continue blending.
  6. When you are happy with the colour you have blended, place the eye shadow in a pot and put the lid on securely. Label your pot.
  7. Directions - Apply to your eye lids using an eye shadow applicator.
  8. Shelf Life - 1 year
