5 DIY Makeup Products You Can Make At Home
I remember that once someone told me the following: “Too much is never enough”. I don’t remember the concept of our conversation, but it was related to our constant need to have “a lot” of “everything”. This is especially true if you are 1) a woman 2) a beauty junkie (like me). You buy, and buy, and buy…
And even when you can no longer close your makeup bag, you are always up for the idea of buying new lip gloss, because one can never have too many lip glosses, right?
Aside from the fact that consumerism is not cool (and we all know it), what’s more worrying is that often, the makeup we buy is not only ridiculously expensive, but also loaded with potentially harmful chemicals. Still, we buy, and buy, and buy…
Because we love DIY (+ we care about your health and your wallet), we’ve gathered 5 of our favorite makeup recipes and we’d like to share them with you! If you want to save money and preserve your health, read on - we’ll show you how to make your own, all-natural, toxic-free beauty products!
DIY Natural Blush
I started using blush 2 years ago (I don’t know how I lived before that, seriously) and I have to tell you that it has changed dramatically the way my skin looks, when I wear makeup. Recently, I’ve read somewhere that “blush makes you look alive” - funny way of describing its "purpose", but so true. A touch of blush can save the day especially when your skin has lost its vitality, due to not-enough-sleep-nutrients-water and too-much-stress-sugar-smoking. Preparing your own blush at home is easy and fun. What’s even better – it’s totally up to you to determine how pigmented it will be, so it can match your skin tone perfectly.

Homemade Makeup Brush Cleanser
How often do you cleanse your makeup brushes? You’d better do it at least once a week, unless you want to get your skin in trouble…
What I normally use for cleansing my brushes is pure castile soap – simple, cheap and effective. Even though castile soap is very good at removing impurities and leaving your brushes squeaky clean, overtime, castile soap can make the bristles lose their softness. How do we solve this problem? We pair castile soap with natural oils! If you want to boost the anti-bacterial properties of your cleanser, you can add tea tree and/or peppermint essential oil.

All Natural Homemade Eye Shadows
Though eye shows seems like a product you can’t make from scratch, they are actually pretty simple to prepare at home. What’s more – you can play with the shades as much as you want and swatch until you get the color you desire. What’s the best part about our favorite eye shadow recipe? - You can actually eat all ingredients – that’s how safe these natural eye shadows are!

Homemade Natural Bronzer
Regardless of the season, sun-kissed skin is always trendy and there is nothing wrong with “faking it” with the help of some bronzer – after all, this is what makeup is for. If you didn’t get time to go to the seaside this year and get some sun, you can easily add some fresh glow to your face with a bit of bronzer – one that is natural, inexpensive and 100% safe to use!

Natural Lip Tint
No makeup look is finished without a hint of color on the lips. When you enhance the natural color of your lips you refresh your whole face and your skin immediately looks healthier and more radiant.
While some authors suggest biting your lips in order to improve blood flow and make them naturally redder and plumper, we’d like to save you the pain from this “weird beauty ritual” and offer another alternative – one that nourishes the lips + tastes and smells lovely!
