Homemade Makeup Tips

"You won't believe how easy it is!"

When it comes to having fun with makeup one of the easiest things to do is mix it! Homemade makeup isn't complicated. In fact, you might have already mixed your makeup without realizing it. That’s because every time you layer your cosmetics, you are actually mixing them together.

Makeup Notebook is filled with makeup recipes to help you get the most from your cosmetics. Each one is very simple and once you start mixing your products you'll not only save money, but you'll be able to create custom cosmetics any time you want.

What's In Makeup Anyway?

Makeup products basically contain three things:


*Everything else in the makeup is optional: You can add vitamins, sunscreen, essential oils, even tea. The choice is yours.

Make Your Own Cosmetics

The best way to get started in making your own cosmetics is to use products you probably already have as bases and pigments. Why? Because that way you don’t have to waste money on bulk products that you won’t use. Some of the bases offered are really remarkable! You can simply modify them. For instance, you can make your mineral makeup into a creamy mineral foundation.

Getting Started . . .

Start experimenting with homemade makeup by mixing “Like with Like.” In other words, mixing products that contain the same type of base. For instance you can combine two lotions to make your own glow lotion.

It's the same concept when it comes to mixing two lipsticks together like in the easy lip gloss recipe where you make your lip gloss by melting it in the microwave.

Kick It Up A Notch!

Try mixing powder pigments into other bases. Start by mixing a dark color of eyeshadow into a creamy mousse eyeshadow. You'll quickly see how simple it is to adjust the color level.

You can do the same thing with blush. When you want more depth of color or intensity to a product you can use mineral mica pigments. It's a great way to make custom blush.

Once you find a mixture that you really like, remember to write it down. Here on MakeupNotebook.com you’ll find lots of simple tips for tweaking your favorite makeup products.

When you get really experienced, you can even make custom makeup to give as gifts. Be forewarned – Homemade Makeup Is Addictive!
