diy eyelinerMost conventional eyeliners contain these not-so-sexy, toxic ingredients: 2-Propanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Butylated Hydroxyanisole, Carbon Black, Diethyl Phthalate, Aluminum, Bismuth, Butylated Hydroxytoluene, Propylene Glycol, Silica, Butyl Paraben, Fragrance, Isobutylparaben, Isopropyl Paraben, Methyl Paraben, Retinol Palmitate, Aluminum, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Ethyle Paraben… Ew-ah!

Is your head spinning? How is it even legal for companies to sell products for your EYES with such nasties, right?

Let’s take matters into our own hands and make eyeliner from scratch at home using super safe, simple ingredients. 🙂

Recipe #1

What You’ll Need:

Empty the charcoal capsule and add enough jojoba oil for desired consistency. Put mixture into an old eyeliner pot and enjoy.

Recipe #2

What You’ll Need:

  • 1/2 ounce of jojoba oil
  • 1/2 ounce of cocoa powder (or spirulina powder for a pretty green shade)

Combine the ingredients, and apply to eyelids with an angled brush.

Recipe #3

What You’ll Need:

Burn the almonds (using a lighter or culinary torch), and combine the soot with jojoba oil (2 drops for ever charred almond).

Let me know which recipe is your fave. Also, if you have more DIY eyeliner tips, please share!
