How to make your own eyeshadow

Making your own eyeshadow is a fun and easy way to customize your makeup routine. You can choose your own colors, textures, and finishes to create the perfect look for any occasion. Plus, homemade eyeshadow is often more affordable and natural than store-bought brands.

To make your own eyeshadow, you will need a few basic ingredients:

• Mica powder: Mica powder is a natural mineral that gives eyeshadow its color. It is available in a wide variety of colors, so you can create any shade you can imagine.
• Binder: A binder helps to hold the mica powder together and prevents it from crumbling. There are a few different binders that you can use, such as cornstarch, kaolin clay, or magnesium stearate.
• Oil: Oil helps to make the eyeshadow smooth and easy to apply. You can use any type of oil that you like, such as jojoba oil, argan oil, or sweet almond oil.

Once you have gathered your ingredients, you are ready to start making your eyeshadow. Here is a simple recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1/4 teaspoon mica powder
• 1/4 teaspoon binder (cornstarch, kaolin clay, or magnesium stearate)
• 1-2 drops oil

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the mica powder and binder.
2. Add the oil and mix until the ingredients are well combined.
3. If the eyeshadow is too dry, add a few more drops of oil.
4. Transfer the eyeshadow to a small container and store it in a cool, dry place.

You can also add other ingredients to your eyeshadow to create different effects. For example, you can add glitter for a shimmery look, or you can add a small amount of pigment to create a more intense color.

Here are a few tips for making your own eyeshadow:

• When choosing mica powders, look for powders that are labeled as “cosmetic grade.” These powders are safe for use on the skin.
• When choosing a binder, keep in mind that different binders will give your eyeshadow different textures. Cornstarch will give your eyeshadow a soft, powdery texture, while kaolin clay will give it a more firm, matte texture.
• When choosing an oil, use an oil that is non-comedogenic, which means that it will not clog your pores.
• Be sure to store your homemade eyeshadow in a cool, dry place to prevent it from becoming dry or crumbly.

With a little practice, you will be able to make your own beautiful, custom eyeshadow palettes. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
