Why Ditch Regular Eye Shadow?
Are you tired of wondering what you’re putting on your face when you apply regular eyeshadow? Mainstream beauty care products can be harmful due to the harsh chemicals they contain. In addition, many of them test on animals, which may not align with your personal values. To avoid these issues, skip regular eyeshadow and opt for a more natural and safe makeup product. By switching to non-toxic and cruelty-free beauty products, you can feel good knowing that your makeup enhances your overall appearance and aligns with your values.
What’s in This DIY Eye Shadow Recipe?
Mineral Makeup Base
A Mineral Makeup Base helps the powder go on smoothly and evenly without clumping or creasing. It also helps the product to stay on the skin longer.
Fractionated Coconut Oil
One key component in our Pink Lemonade Eye Shadow is Fractionated Coconut Oil. It acts as a binder to create a pressed powder and also provides a luxurious and silky feel on the skin. This ingredient is a game-changer for our product’s overall texture and quality.
Fuchsia Mica Powder
Fuchsia Mica Powder gives this eye shadow its pink hue. This powder adds a beautiful color to the eyeshadow, giving it a shiny, shimmery effect that perfectly catches the light. What’s more, the pale pink tone of this powder creates a soft, feminine look that’s perfect for any occasion.
