So check my reviews out and let me know what you think. The main thing is to keep your product away from the sun and moisture. This will keep the ingredients from breaking down. Primer is an additional step, and additional cost to your makeup routine.
Then, applying a face primer provides a smooth surface upon which you can paint your masterpiece. Many people pass on this step since it’s something they’ve never tried or didn’t know they needed. Others may have given it a shot, but paired the primer with a foundation that was a bad fit. That old saying about water and oil not mixing holds true for make-up as well. However, if done right, it can take your beauty game up a notch to the next level.
Make Your DIY Face Primer
And I sometimes use a totally colorless powder if the blotches are especially bad. My skin used to be oily but is now very dry (I’m 74). If there is a better formula for very dry skin, I’d like to know it. An eyeshadow primer's importance gets a bit lost in the shuffle when you're busy eyeing colorful eyeshadow palettes, fail-proof eyeliner and top-rated mascaras.
Well if we think about building a house or adding color to a canvas, there are steps before that “first” step. Before pouring the concrete foundation of a house, there’s the requisite excavation, waterproofing, and backfill. And, did I have to Google those home-building steps just now? But it makes sense that you have to prepare a surface in order to get the best results, and this holds true for the face as well.
Sericite Mica
It contains fatty acids that nourish and moisturize the skin. The vitamin E found in coconut also works to make skin super smooth. However, not everyone is cuckoo for coconuts, so if you’re not, you can select a different oil or moisturizing product to add to this primer.
They also are tinted and will even out the skin’s texture. With this, you are not trying to get coverage; you are just providing a base for your foundation. But, the thing is, you don’t have to buy a product that has been labelled as a primer when other products do the same job. Scrape off any excess from the sides and you are done. I prefer storing it in the fridge to make it cool, so it feels refreshing when I apply the mixture in the morning.
What can I use instead of makeup primer?
Decant your eyeshadow into a small pot or sifter with a lid. Once you use your grinder to make cosmetics, don’t use it for anything else again. I mean, the last thing you want in your eyeshadow are bits of stale coffee. Trust me, get another one for your coffee machine. By using my electric blade coffee grinder, I can get a much smoother eye shadow. Trust me, it’s worth the investment… It’s not like they’re that expensive anyway.
It creates a smooth base for your eyeshadow to adhere to and helps to keep it in place all day. No matter what type of primer you choose, it’s important to make sure that it’s compatible with your skin type. If you have oily skin, you’ll want to choose a primer that’s specifically designed to absorb oil.

Actual oil products like Almond Oil or Coconut Oil. Thanks to all authors for creating a page that has been read 131,158 times. Yes, you can use a BB or a CC cream and there are many other products on the market. It’s best to stick with the foundation and concealer you use regularly, because you know it won’t cause an allergic reaction or a breakout. Its balmy effect will hydrate dry patches and temporarily fill in lines and it leaves the skin looking dewy and radiant. So let me know the funky and beautiful colors you guys come up with.
Once the ingredients are melted, remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Once the primer has cooled, apply it to your eyelids using a brush. Here is another DIY makeup primer recipe that doesn’t use aloe vera. I realize that some people can’t use it and that in the warmer weather it can be too moist.
Aloe Vera is a humectant, pulling moisture out of the air and helping your skin to not dry out as fast. With my skin that is already oily, an alternative homemade face primer was called for. Some online reviewers noted it helped reduced the appearance of redness and dark circles around their eyelids. It also comes with a wand applicator that makes it much easier to swipe on.
If you are new to DIY eyeshadow, makeup experts recommend that you purchase a ready-made eyeshadow base. These will contain all the basic ingredients you need in an eyeshadow before adding in your desired colors. I’m going to start with a simple loose powder eye shadow which can be stored in a small sifter or eye shadow pot. If you prefer more of a pressed eye shadow, this recipe can easily be adapted to design your own eyeshadow palette! But for now, I’m gonna show you how to store it in a regular pot.
