I've been making homemade makeup for years, swapping expensive store-bought products for simple, natural alternatives that deliver superior quality and safety.
These recipes are straightforward, using only natural ingredients. After sharing my homemade mascara formula, here's my go-to eyeliner recipe—made with just two ingredients: activated charcoal and water.
Before perfecting this formula, I tested several versions, including ones with coconut oil and aloe vera gel. This charcoal-based recipe outperforms them all—it lasts longer and won't smudge.
Your homemade eyeliner is ready! It's quick, affordable, and uses only charcoal and water.
Simply apply to your eyelids. For a smoother texture, press it down with the back of a spoon using gentle circular motions.
If you don't have capsules, use powdered activated charcoal instead.
For an ultra-simple method: Dampen your eyeliner brush with water, dip into charcoal powder, and apply directly. Shake off excess if using as eyeshadow.
Avoid direct eye contact. From experience, apply before inserting contact lenses.
Add cocoa powder for a brown tint or less charcoal for anthracite gray.
