All Natural Homemade Eye Shadow Recipe

posted in Makeup on 12/29/2013
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) Tumeric Allspice
Directions: 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 eye shadow 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. The shea butter will help keep this on your lids and provide a nice moisturizing kick!
