I don’t tend to wear a lot of eyeshadow these days, but it’s nice to have if you’re going out for a memorable evening. On the other hand, my daughter Angela wears it quite a bit, and these are her recipes. This is her post, but I thought you might like it. Thanks, Angela.

One of the most fun parts of applying makeup is applying eye shadow. When used correctly, eye shadow can draw subtle attention to the eyes by highlighting them or be the centrepiece of your entire makeup look. With thousands of companies offering a wide range of eye shadow colours, there is no shortage of shades to choose from. Have you ever considered creating your own? With so many mica colours and natural pigment options to choose from, you can mix and play to your heart’s content, creating beautiful, natural colours all your own. All you need is the following:

*Serecite Carnauba Wax Treated Mica
*Pigment or Mica

That’s it! How much or how little you mix in depends on how pigmented you want the colours to be or how much you want to make. Here are just a few eyeshadow colour options to give you an idea of what you can make.

White Gold Eyeshadow
-Serecite Carnauba Wax Treated Mica

It really is that simple. In no time, you will have beautiful, unique eyeshadows to create amazing makeup looks that will have your friends begging you to make some for them!

As always, live well.
