The only black eye shadow you will ever need!
Burned cork has been used as stage makeup for centuries, but it also works wonders as a simple, long lasting black eye shadow!

NOTE: Make sure you have a real cork. Most wine bottle use plastic corks these days, and those won't work.

Be sure to mention "wait for it to cool before applying!"

No, let the fire burn down, and cool off. It feels kinda nice still warm, but you know.... not on fire.
