Be smart about how you make your own beauty products. You can read this post on some ways to make sure your homemade beauty products remain safe. But even beyond the basics, don’t forget common sense: If you’re allergic to any ingredient, DON’T USE IT! If something smells bad… throw it out. If you don’t like it, try something else.
Ingredients
For the base:Arrowroot Powder
Shea Butter
And a combination of any of the following:
Cocoa Powder
Nutmeg
Dried Beet Powder (make your own** or find it online)
Turmeric
Some Color Options:
Pale Pink:
1/2 tsp. arrowroot powder
1/2 tsp. dried beet powder
1/8 tsp. cocoa powder
1/4 – 1/2 tsp. shea butter
Mauve:
1/2 tsp. arrowroot powder
3/4 tsp. allspice
3/4 tsp. dried beet powder
1/4 tsp. cocoa powder
1/4 – 1/2 tsp. shea butter
Light Brown:
1/2 tsp. arrowroot
3/4 – 1 tsp. cocoa powder
1/4 – 1/2 tsp. shea butter
Golden Brown:
1/2 tsp. arrowroot powder
3/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 – 1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/4 – 1/2 tsp. shea butter
Instructions
1. Start by placing 1/4 – 1/2 tsp. in a small bowl. The more arrowroot powder you use the lighter and more subtle the color of your homemade eyeshadow will be. You can always add more, so start with less.2. Add your other spices/powders and mix thoroughly until you get the color you desire. (I have four color combinations to get you started below, but have fun and experiment.)
3. Once you have a well-mixed color, add in 1/4 – 1/2 tsp. of shea butter. Use the back of a small spoon to “cream” the butter in with the powder against the side of the bowl until you have a soft, creamy powder. (It really will still look mostly like a powder.) The shea butter will help keep this homemade eyeshadow on your lids and provide a nice moisturizing kick.
To use: use your finger tip or a small brush. Tap off any excess and gently wipe as you would other eyeshadow.
