Do you get bored of using the same black mascara every day? Do you want to try something colorful and fun? Well, you can now make your own colored mascara at home with some simple ingredients.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make your own colored mascara.

: Ingredients you will need

A mascara tube and wand
A small amount of petroleum jelly or beeswax
A pinch of your desired eyeshadow pigment
A small container to mix the ingredients
A toothpick or a small spatula for mixing

Step 1: Sanitize the mascara tube and wand

Before you start making your colored mascara, make sure to sanitize the mascara tube and wand. You can do this by washing the wand with soap and water and then wiping it with rubbing alcohol.

Also, boil the mascara tube in hot water for about five minutes to kill any germs. Let the tube and wand dry completely before use.

Step 2: Melt some petroleum jelly or beeswax

Now, take a small amount of petroleum jelly or beeswax and melt it using a double boiler or a microwave. Beeswax is an excellent option as it is a natural ingredient and has antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Step 3: Add your desired eyeshadow pigment

Once the petroleum jelly or beeswax has melted, add a pinch of your desired eyeshadow pigment into the container. Make sure that the pigment you choose is safe for use around the eyes.

Step 4: Mix the ingredients

Using a toothpick or a small spatula, mix the melted petroleum jelly or beeswax with the eyeshadow pigment until they are well combined. Keep mixing until there are no clumps left in the mixture.

Step 5: Pour the mixture into the mascara tube

Carefully pour the mixture into the mascara tube using a funnel or dropper. Make sure not to spill any of the mixture on the mascara wand or outside of the tube.

Step 6: Let the mixture cool down

Leave the mascara tube open and let the mixture cool down at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. This will solidify the mixture and give it a better texture.

Step 7: Test your colored mascara

Once the mixture has cooled down, screw the wand back into the tube and test your colored mascara on your eyelashes. You can also curl your lashes before applying the mascara to give them more volume.

Tips for making your colored mascara

Choose pigments that match your eye color or complement it. For example, green or blue pigment for green eyes, purple pigment for brown eyes.
Use a small amount of pigment to start with and gradually add more if needed.
You can also mix different pigments to create a unique shade of colored mascara.
Always sanitize your mascara wand and tube before using them to prevent any eye infections.

Now that you know how to make your own colored mascara, you can experiment with different shades and have fun with your makeup.

This is an easy and budget-friendly option for those who want to try something new without spending a lot of money on expensive colored mascaras.
