Make your own eyeshadow

What you’ll need:

8g talcum
2g titanium dioxide
5g magnesium stearate
3g pigments
2g jojoba oil
1 drop of lemon oil

Instructions:

A kitchen scale is also helpful, and color pigments and glitter materials are available at craft stores. The talcum is mixed with the titanium dioxide and magnesium stearate – a small empty jar or a shaker can be useful for this. It is better to be careful with the color pigments and glitter particles at first; adding more is always possible later. Finally, the jojoba oil and the drop of lemon oil are added so that the eyeshadow can adhere well. In total, the utensils cost no more than €10 and can be transformed into different shades with practice and skill. Have fun experimenting.
