When I first started out I would use a pestle and mortar to grind my powders together. But it took such a long time and I still had trouble with my oxides not combining well enough. Add the shea butter to the bowl and use the back of a spoon to cream the powder and shea butter together until soft and creamy. Add the shea butter and beeswax to a small bowl and microwave for a minute or two until melted. Using a separate 3 milliliters (0.10 fl oz) plastic pipette for each ingredient, add the drops of jojoba oil, vegetable glycerin, and vitamin E oil to the bowl.

They also are tinted and will even out the skin’s texture. With this, you are not trying to get coverage; you are just providing a base for your foundation. But, the thing is, you don’t have to buy a product that has been labelled as a primer when other products do the same job. Scrape off any excess from the sides and you are done. I prefer storing it in the fridge to make it cool, so it feels refreshing when I apply the mixture in the morning.

Primer water spray is super popular for makeup lovers who want a lightweight and easy to store primer option. Plus, its a dupe for popular makeup primers like the Smashbox Primer Water ($14 – $30). The easiest way to make a homemade makeup primer for your face is to mix 3 parts of a gel to one part of a powder. While there are several of each to choose from, I made it simple. Add a small amount of white, odorless lotion to the powder.
This is a mixture of colorless ingredients that will help the shadow adhere smoothly to your skin upon application. Sericite mica is a shimmery powder that can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by reflecting the light. It has a beautiful smooth silky feel to it which makes your homemade eyeshadow easier to apply. Really for oily skin, you just apply it with a cotton pad, like you would a toner, and let it dry.

If you’re looking for a color corrector, there are a few different options to choose from, as well.
