Many cosmetics, including eye shadow products, commonly contain titanium dioxide, mica, or other ingredients of concern.  Learn how to make your own organic, safe, healthy eye shadow!

 

Cheryl has searched extensively for organic eye shadow but has not yet found any eye shadow products that meet her requirements.  As a result, she has researched, created and tested some very simple DIY (Do It Yourself) Organic Eye Shadow recipes that she uses regularly. These eye shadows are organic, safe, and healthy and can be made very quickly and easily with common organic food ingredients.  These colors are natural and neutral and they work very well!  The directions to make these eye shadows and the recommended organic ingredient sources are included in this blog article!

DIRECTIONS TO MAKE DIY ORGANIC EYE SHADOW

STEP 1:  ORDER ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

You can find all of the USDA Organic ingredient recommendations at the end of this blog article.  You may already have some of the ingredients in your pantry for making healthy smoothies or other recipes.

If you are on a limited budget, or do not already have any or the organic ingredients, you can make 4 beautiful colors (Truffle, Chocolate, Latte, and Maca) with only 4 ingredients (organic arrowroot, cacao powder, maca powder & almond oil or jojoba oil).  All of the recipes are made with organic, gluten free ingredients.  You can substitute organic jojoba oil for almond oil, however, Cheryl has not tested this ingredient replacement in these recipes.

 

STEP 2: ORDER SUPPLIES:  JARS & DROPPERS

You can find all of the recommendations for the supplies you need at the end of this blog article, including the glass storage jars and droppers (for measuring the almond oil).

 

STEP 3: USE A COFFEE GRINDER (OR A MORTAR & PESTEL)

You will need a coffee grinder (or a mortar and pestel) if you are using any recipes with maca powder because the maca powder needs to be made smoother for the eye shadow to feel smooth.

  

STEP 4:  MAKE DIY EYE SHADOW COLORS  

  • Print the eye shadow recipes included in this blog article.
  • Use a ramekin or small bowl for each of the eye shadow colors that you are making.
  • If you are using any recipes with maca powder, add the maca powder to a coffee grinder (or mortar and pestel) and grind until the maca powder feels smooth on your skin.
  • Follow each recipe, one recipe at a time, and add all of the ingredients to each ramekin (or small bowl) for each color and mix thoroughly.
  • Use a small measuring spoon to add the eye shadow into each glass eye shadow jar.
  • Use a metallic marker or Sharpie marker to write the name of the eye shadow color on the bottom of each jar.

 

STEP 5:  HOW TO USE THE DIY EYE SHADOW COLORS    

  • You will need to apply the eye shadow with an eye shadow brush.
  • Cheryl likes to use the eye shadow brush to brush some of the eye shadow on the back of her hand first, to help the eye shadow be less powdery before applying the eye shadow on her eyes.
  • You can apply multiple coats of one eye shadow color or layer different eye shadow colors on top of each other if you want the color to be more opaque.
  • The eye shadow expiration date is the earliest expiration date of all your organic ingredients.
  • Wash and refill the eye shadow jars after you have used all the eye shadow in your jar. Make sure you allow the jars to fully dry before refilling them with more eye shadow.

 

STEP 6:  YOU CAN ALSO USE THE ORGANIC INGREDIENTS IN SMOOTHIES TO NOURISH YOUR BODY AND MIND 

You can use ALL of the organic eye shadow superfood ingredients in smoothies (or in other food recipes) to nourish your body and mind.

You can find our free Nourishing Superfood Smoothie Guide, which includes 8 recipes for anti-inflammatory, immune boosting, and brain boosting smoothies.  Organic turmeric root powder is included in many of the smoothie recipes.  You can also add ½ to 1 tsp each of organic maca powder, pomegranate powder, cacao powder, or matcha tea powder to any of the smoothie recipes (or into any smoothie recipes that you already use).  The organic arrow root powder is not recommended in smoothies, however, is an excellent gluten free thickener that can be used to thicken recipes like pancakes, sauces or gravy.
