How to make Mineral Makeup Eyeshadow

[lore18801]

with the money by buying those things i can buy 1000s of eyeshadows!

[dreamywriter14]

Wow this looks really neat! :D

Just wondering...what are the colors made of?

[soapqueentv]

@dreamywriter14 Typically oxides and micas are where the colors come from.

Anne Marie- Since watching this I started making my own eyeshadows :) They're great, but the colors fade or migrate throughout the day even though I use a primer. Do you know what I can add to make it longer lasting and smudge-proof?

[soapqueentv]

@EarlyBirdie82 Kaolin clay is great for helping mineral makeup to stick to your skin. I would try adding a little  bit. You need to mix it really well - I use a little spice grinder to help speed up the job.

[EarlyBirdie82]

@soapqueentv Thanks! A little bit- a couple mini scoops (per 1 black container) or more like a teaspoon?

[abigaildavies]

do you ship your products to the uk?

[soapqueentv]

@abigaildavies Yes we do! FedEx or Post - whichever you prefer.

[MsBunnyhop11]

[soapqueentv]

@MsBunnyhop11 I show how in an earlier video called 'Make a Solid Sugar Soap Scrub'

[sexyme116]

I love your vids:)

[isabelplace]

thats liquid eyeliner, do you know how to make a pencil eyeliner? :) my friends are giving presents to each other... i wanted to give them my fizzies i make, these two eyeshadow and eyeliner, and also the small holiday candles you guys made ;) what do you think?

[soapqueentv]

@isabelplace I am not sure how you would go about making a pencil liner at home. But that sounds like a great X-mas present package - you have some very lucky friends. :)

[EarlyBirdie82]

I can't wait to make these! I asked for Bramble Berry gift cards for my birthday :D And thank you Anne-Marie for teaching me everything I know, I'm using soap and such as a way to raise money so I can go on a France trip with my school. I couldn't do it without you!

[getsomebs]

Are there recipes for cream shadows in the manual?

[soapqueentv]

@getsomebs No, all of the recipes for eye and face are loose powder and then there are lipstick and lip gloss recipes. But that's a great idea! Maybe we need to add a new section to our Minerla Makeup book.

In the meantime, when making cream eyeshadows you need to use a preservative and be sure that all of your tools and containers are clean and sterilized. Thanks for your question!

[soapqueentv]

@CharmyCupcake I pretty much only wear makeup when I'm filming Soap Queen TV videos - so I know what you mean. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[tattyjenna101]

can u make lip stick

[soapqueentv]

@tattyjenna101 Yes, that's a great idea. It's pretty easy really. You just take a lip balm base and LOTS of mica and oxides. That's a great idea for another video - thanks!

[CarrieCakesxo]

You're a real life Barbie. You NEVER stop smiling. I love it. lolololol

[vascheergirl18]

omg i want this sooo badly now it looks like alot of fun :)

[killclockwork]

I have to say, as the owner of a mineral makeup company (i will not mention the name as I am not trying to advertise), different skin tones and skin types work differently. A premixed base can be fun to work with but if you're oily, a woman of color or have certain skin conditions you'll want to research some natural additives that will help with adhesion, not looking white/chalky, etc. Also, make sure you aren't allergic by testing on your arm first!

[soapqueentv]

@killclockwork Thanks for the great tips! Allergy testing is always a great idea. Obviously this video is only the tip of the iceberg that is mineral makeup, I have much more to cover. - Anne-Marie

[onepinkcookie]

you are such a nice and fun person :)

[kassummi]

i love it. do you have any kit for face makeup? I mean like powder foundation.

[soapqueentv]

@kassummi Yes, Bramble Berry also carries a foundation kit and lipstick making kit. All of the recipes are in the purple booklet.

[SeattleSoap]

I think we need a video about how to make pressed eyeshadow and how to package our eyeliner products.

[soapqueentv]

@SeattleSoap Thanks for the suggestion. That's a great idea.

[Bombshell1126]

love your videos!

[mreinstein48]

Well come back!!!! We missed you!

[Trofnat9]

I believe that women should wear makeup to enhance their beauty. my friends all say how I do mine enhances my eyes which makes me feel more confident

[datsfam]

Anne-Marie...could you please make a few suggestions for ingredients of mineral make up with out the shimmer and sheen? I actually prefer a matte look. The pearly/shimmery/sparkly sheen look just accentuates my eye wrinkles. Thanks so much!

[soapqueentv]

@datsfam Don't use micas, just stick with clays and oxides and you will get a truly matte finish. They can be a little tricky to mix smoothly but a little elbow grease is all it takes. Have fun! - Anne-Marie

[ILoveGodSelfOthers]

Are there any mixing mediums with healthy ingredients?

[gaoyer13]

awesome

[shahodo]

Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing!­! absolutely going to try that !

[EternallyImperfect]

what would happen if you just used the mica?

[soapqueentv]

@EternallyImperfect It tends to be streaky - because the color is so intense. So that's why I mix it with the sericite to get a more even color.

[EternallyImperfect]

@soapqueentv Ok! Those colors are so pretty! I know what im getting for christmas!

[EternallyImperfect]

LOVE!!!! I wondered how the kit worked now i want it!

[Wela143]

This kit looks like alot of fun, imagine making your own makeup!

[soapqueentv]

@Wela143 It is! and I'm glad you can see how easy and fun it is. Thanks!
