Cream Mineral Eyeshadow/Eyeliner

So for the first recipe which I am going to post I wanted to show you how to make a cream mineral cosmetic that does not have all the multiple toxins of the ones that you would find in the drugstore. This cream is light and silky, just be aware that because it does not have alcohol in it, it will not dry as fast as others do. The best way to apply it is with a wedge shaped bristle brush. I also like to use my "sable cream eyeliner"  for my eyebrows for a little natural color.

Cream Mineral Eyeshadow/Eyeliner

4 Tb Organic Jojobba oil
1 tsp emulsifying wax (find a non toxic vegetable one)
1 tsp Beeswax or Candeilla Wax
1 tsp Carnauba Wax
1/2 tsp Grapeseed oil
9 tsp chosen mineral makeup color blend
1/4 tsp Vitamin E oil.
1/4 tsp Rosemary Extract
1/4 tsp Grapefruit Extract
1/4 tsp essential oil blend of your choice

Directions: Sterilize all equipment and use gloves and goggles when making an cosmetic preparation.
In a double boiler over medium heat melt your waxes and stir with a whisk until they are liquid and smooth. Add Jojobba oil and grapeseed oil.Whisk about 5 minutes until slightly frothy but well combined. Take off the heat and set aside 5-10 minutes to cool. Add chosen mineral makeup blend vitamin E. oil, extracts, and essential oils of your choice for scent.
While pourable fill a disposable platstic pipette (small size) with your product and fill 5 gram mineral makeup pots about 1/2 way full. Do not put the cover on until they have hardened and cooled.
To use: Using a small wedge-shaped bristle cosmetic brush, lightly dip into your cream and apply as an eyeliner, as a cream eyeshadow, or as an eyebrow color that looks completely natural! Enjoy
