    eyeliner or mascara

    This is one of the hardest beauty products to find. The eyes are somewhat difficult, because many substances or materials can cause severe infections. If before you put strong chemicals on your eyelashes, now these natural substances will be the glory for them. You’ll need:

  • ½ tablespoon of shea butter
  • 1 tablespoon of activated charcoal
  • 1 tablespoon bentonite clay
  • 2-3 drops of almond oil
  • How to do it:

    Mix all the ingredients very well until you get a slightly moist paste. To use it as an eyeliner, you can soak a brush in water and brush it through the mixture to obtain the black color. If you want to use it as an organic mascara, just dip a brush from a reused tube and remove the excess.

    Bronzer

    Now it is possible to create a natural bronzer to shape your face. However, there is a small problem with this beauty product: the tone. We cannot recommend a single ingredient because many have different skin tones, but what is possible is to suggest a couple of components for you to experiment with. You’ll need:

  • cocoa powder
  • rice powder
  • Cornstarch
  • Ground cinnamon
  • How to do it:

    A mixture of a little of that powder and a little of that other is the recipe for the perfect bronzer or powder. The color of your bronzer or powder will depend on your shade and even your creativity in mixing the powders. Go trying little by little until you reach the ideal.

    Lip

    Nothing like natural reddish lips and free of substances that dry them out. This lipstick is very easy to prepare and will leave a natural, reddish tone that does not stain. You’ll need:

  • 2 tablespoons of beets or beets
  • ½ tablespoon coconut oil
