Did you know you could make your own mascara? Yes, you really can! If you do not want to buy a natural mascara already made for you and want to try your hand at making it, give it a go. Let me know how you like it!
Ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon black mineral powder
- 1/4 teaspoon bentonite clay
- 1/8 teaspoon (about 4 drops) vegetable glycerine
- 1/4 teaspoon (plus more if needed) aloe vera gel
- 5 drops lavender essential oil
How to put it all together
- Mix all ingredients in a very small bowl until completely smooth.
- Add more aloe vera gel if needed to get a smooth consistency.
- Carefully use a medicine dropper and slowly squirt into the mascara container (or jar)
- Alternately, you can add the ingredients directly to the tube and mix with the mascara brush, though it takes a while of mixing to get the ingredients smooth inside the tube.
- Use as you would normally.
To remove
Use a washcloth with warm water or use coconut oil as a natural eye makeup remover.
BONUS TIP
Dust lashes with arrowroot powder or organic cornstarch first to thicken and lengthen even more. This works with a lash curler, but I’ve found it is better to curl first so they don’t clump.
