Pressing the Loose Pigment Recipe
In this post, I am going to be sharing how to press my loose pigment formula. If you have already made my loose pigment, then it will only be a couple of steps until you have a finished eyeshadow. If you have not created it before, then you should check out the post that I made and see how to make the loose pigment. I will not be going over it in this post. (Link)
Let's get started!
Makeup Q&A 1
In this post, I am going to be answering the questions you have about makeup. Anything from techniques, working with certain products, formulations, or even how to formulate them. I wanted to create some makeup educational content so that not only can you create fantastic makeup but also know how to use it in a way that works for you.
Disclaimer: I always will give general advice as makeup is more individual then people may try to paint it out to be. So please use your reasoning when deciding if any of these are worth it for you.
Cocoa Mint Hand Lotion
In this post, I am going to be sharing with you the cocoa and mint hand lotion. This formulation I developed is perfect for dry hands! With it being winter and excessive hand washing we all need to give our hands some tender love and care. This is a THICK formula!
Matte Powder Base Formula
In this post, I am going to be sharing my Matte Base for all kinds of cosmetics products. This formula was adapted from my mineral foundation. You will see many similarities, and I am going to detail why each ingredient is in there.
Planning The Formula: Garnier Fructis Style Smoothing Cream
In this post we are going to be planning the formulation for the product above. This product was brought up to me by a subscriber (Nicole Jeske) Thank you for the formula suggestion. This formula really caught my eye and I will go more in detail when we talk about the ingredients. Another thing is that this product is discontinued, so I cannot purchase this product and create an identical dupe but more of a formula dupe. Let's get started!
Final Formula: Its a 10 Spray
In this post, I am going to be sharing the final for the formula. Thus is going to be a straight forward post so let's get started! To see the planning post see it here!
