Cream eyeshadow
Stéphanie
Did you know it's super easy to make your own cream eyeshadow? Yes, yes. For color, you can create any blends you like with the iron oxide colors available to you: red, yellow, brown, blue, green, purple, etc. Here's my recipe!

approx. 15 ml
Conservation
12 months +
Ingredients
- 4 g of organic mango butter (or organic refined shea butter) (Refined (not raw) shea butter will let you better control the color of your final product.)
- 4 g of organic jojoba oil
- 7 g of zinc oxide
- iron oxides (varying amounts and colors)*
- precision scale
- 15 ml aluminum jar
* It's up to you to decide which iron oxide or oxides you need! Check out the iron oxides we offer in our shop at the very bottom of this page.
Preparation steps
1. Ideally, disinfect all equipment with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Let the alcohol evaporate.
2. In a double boiler, melt the mango butter in the jojoba oil. Once melted, remove from heat.
3. Add the zinc oxide and mix until smooth.
4. Gradually add the chosen iron oxide blend with the tip of a knife and mix until you reach the desired color.
5. Pour into the jar and let set in the fridge, uncovered. Stir a few times during hardening so the iron oxide stays evenly distributed in the mixture.
How to use it
Wash and dry your hands well.
Pick up a little eyeshadow with your finger and apply to your eyelids!
