DIY Mascara: The Day I Ditched Store-Bought for Good Lashes

The first time I made my own mascara, I was tired of mystery ingredients and smudgy raccoon eyes. My kitchen turned into a mini beauty lab—activated charcoal everywhere, but the payoff? Lashes that felt light, looked bold, and a formula I could actually pronounce. 🧴 Charcoal Mix: Melt vitamin E, coconut oil, and beeswax over hot water. Add aloe vera and charcoal for a deep black finish. (Swap in mineral pigment if you’re charcoal-shy!) 🌱 Clay Option: Blend your favorite clay with a pinch of guar gum, water, and glycerin for a natural tint—think custom brown or jet black. 💉 Tube Hack: Use a syringe or DIY piping bag to fill your mascara tube. No more mess, just smooth application. Honestly, my lashes have never felt healthier. Would you try making your own, or is store-bought still your go-to? #CleanBeauty #DIYMakeup #SustainableStyle #Beauty #Makeup
