#4 can be used for SO MUCH
DIY makeup is a great way to save money and time. Buying makeup can be a hassle.
Trying to find the right shade of lipstick, the right foundation that matches your undertones, or picking from over a thousand different eyeshadow palettes can be EXHAUSTING. Especially because it usually requires a trip to the store.
What if you didn’t have to go to the store to get your makeup or pay a ton of money for it?
What if in a matter of minutes you could add new, affordable and natural products to your makeup routine?
Well, with the convenience of DIY makeup, now you can. Here are some DIY makeup products you probabaly already have at home.
Girls and guys, let me tell you that cocoa powder works wonders! It is an amazing ingredient that you can to make easy, affordable products for makeup.
Cocoa powder can be used as a natural bronzer or you can use it for blush and add some ground up dried flowers for a pink tint.
You can make powder foundations by slowly mixing up cocoa powder and arrow root. You can also mix in cinnamon to achieve a darker tone, or ground up flower petals to get a lighter, more pink undertone.
Eyeliner can be made from adding cocoa powder with coconut oil for a creamy texture that will glide on smoothly.
The amount of coverage and shade of color you want will determine how much to use of each ingredient.
Speaking of coconut oil… of course it can be used for DIY makeup! What can’t coconut oil do? Like really.
There are simple uses for coconut oil such as makeup remover, teeth whitener, and a good at home hair mask.
But has anyone wondered what magical makeup powers lies within the smooth creamy texture of coconut oil?
Combining cocoa powder or activated charcoal with coconut oil will give you a beautiful combination for both eyeliner and eyeshadows!
Activated charcoal has become increasingly popular these past few years.
It’s great for teeth whitener, cleaning supplies, and, you guessed it, DIY makeup.
By combining the activated charcoal with shea butter you get a beautifully smooth texture perfect for liquid eyeshadows and eyeliners.
Create the perfect smokey eye by combining all these products and, boom! You have DIY makeup.
Activated charcoal is also great in foods such as ice cream because it soaks up the nutrients from the milk. You can also use it as a teeth whitener with toothpaste and or just in powder form.
Arrow Root is a non-allergenic and anti-irritant powder that can be used in DIY makeup for a smooth more texturized substance.
Originating in Thailand, arrow root is great for eye shadows, eyeliner, mascara, lotions, makeup powders, baby powder, and deodorant.
Using ingredients found in your home for makeup is so much better than buying products filled with mystery chemicals. Not only is it healthier, but DIY makeup saves you a ton of money. Gather some ingredients found in your home and get to mixing up that makeup!
