I got my Micas from www.tkbtrading.com.
They are called Pop! Micas. I have made my own eyeshadows for a long time but i have never thought of making a tutorial for it until i saw another girl's homemade mineral eyeshadows :)

I'll put up some "recipes" later. :3

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Pigment s
  • Spoon Scoops
  • Baggies Plastic Bag(s)

Steps (11 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Before you do anything , disinfect every thing you are working with. I use 70% rubbing alchohol.
    Also, you should put on gloves and a dust mask.
    :)

  2. 2

    Here is what i used.
    I got the Micas from TKB Trading and i got the baggies and stackable jars from Michaels.

  3. 3

    Then decide what color you would like to make.
    I'm am going to make a light purple color.

  4. 4

    Start by picking out the main hue (purple) then add a scoop of that in your baggie.

  5. 5

    If your color has two tones
    ex: blue green
    add the second hue

  6. 6

    If you want to deepen the color, add a a scoop of it's complimentary color.
    (The color across from it on the color wheel)

  7. 7

    If you need to lighten or deepen the color, add a scoop of either black or white.

  8. 8

    Then mix it all up !

  9. 9

    To add more depth, keep adding colors until you are happy with the results.

  10. 10

    I like to keep what i've made organized by numbering them then putting the color on a piece of tape.
    Then i tape it into my sketch book along with the "recipe" so if i run out of the color, i can make it again.

    If you want, you can snip off the corner of the baggie and transfer the eyeshadow into a 5 gram jar.
