How to Make Eyeshadow
Author Katie Vance
Instructions
Since the instructions are a little complicated for this DIY I will give them in two parts. First I will tell you the general method of making clay DIY eyeshadows. Next, I will give you individual recipes for the colors I made.
- Set ingredients on a clean workspace. You will want to have plenty of room.
- Sterilize mixing bowl and eyeshadow tins by spraying them with alcohol.
- Measure arrowroot powder, clay, and mica into a small mixing bowl.
- Stir together with a toothpick to blend.
- Add in several drops of red raspberry seed oil and alcohol.
- Stir well, breaking up any clumps with a toothpick.
- Continue stirring until all the oil and alcohol is incorporated. If needed, add additional drops of oil or alcohol until the mixture resembles tiny crumbs.
- Place half of the mixture in an empty tin.
- Cover with a paper towel.
- Using a quarter, press down evenly on the paper towel directly over the eyeshadow tin.
- Remove paper towel and add in the rest of the loose eyeshadow.
- Cover with a paper towel once again.
- Using a quarter, press down evenly on the paper towel directly over the eyeshadow tin
- Allow the eyeshadow to dry, then place in a magnetic palette.
