Really Basic :)
I got my Micas from www.tkbtrading.com.
They are called Pop! Micas. I have made my own eyeshadows for a long time but i have never thought of making a tutorial for it until i saw another girl's homemade mineral eyeshadows :)

I'll put up some "recipes" later. :3

Step 1
Before you do anything , disinfect every thing you are working with. I use 70% rubbing alchohol.
Also, you should put on gloves and a dust mask.
:)
Step 2
Here is what i used.
I got the Micas from TKB Trading and i got the baggies and stackable jars from Michaels.
Step 3
Then decide what color you would like to make.
I'm am going to make a light purple color.
Step 4
Start by picking out the main hue (purple) then add a scoop of that in your baggie.
Step 5
If your color has two tones
ex: blue green
add the second hue
Step 6
If you want to deepen the color, add a a scoop of it's complimentary color.
(The color across from it on the color wheel)
Step 7
If you need to lighten or deepen the color, add a scoop of either black or white.
Step 8
Then mix it all up !
Step 9
To add more depth, keep adding colors until you are happy with the results.
Step 10
I like to keep what i've made organized by numbering them then putting the color on a piece of tape.
Then i tape it into my sketch book along with the "recipe" so if i run out of the color, i can make it again.
Step 11
If you want, you can snip off the corner of the baggie and transfer the eyeshadow into a 5 gram jar.

This is great and to keep it on I use a tiny bit of lipbalm on the tip of my finger and dab it on my lid first.

Thats Way Tooooooo Pretty

I've recently gotten into mineral eyeshadows, stumbled upon this and am about a heartbeat way from ordering their kit- my only question is this: I bought a couple of the mineral eyeshadows off a site, but I can't seem to make them stay on my lids. I've tried water, and nothing. Is there a natural base I can find or make that will make these minerals stay put??? And I don't wear concealer or have face makeup b/c it seriously irritates my skin. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

You'll need to use primer. Its a type of foundation that is designed to keep makeup on your face. You can get it anywhere and make your own. Hope this helps. ;)

I think this sounds brill and you can make any colour u want, you don't have to go by what the shops tell you 2 have. And it's probs a whole lot cheaper too. Although it's rather nice when someone else makes it 4 u!! Thnx 4 the how-to x x
