The Herbal remedy for makeup

[Guest guest]

Sorcha, I don't expect the wonderful men on this group to come through for

you for this request of yours, so I'll help out here. We want to stay well

and that includes what we put on our bodies. I have found these easy ways to

use makeup that other ladies on our group may be interested in knowing

about.

 

Eye liner and Eyebrow Pencil---Get a pure charcoal pencil (black only) at an

art supply store. Try several on yourself (bring a small mirror) in the

store to see what hardness suits you. You may need to wet it with water or a

vitamin E perle first. Don't put any chemicals on your eyelids, since this

penetrates into your eye. To check this out yourself, close your eye tightly

and dab lemon juice on yoru eyelid. It will soon burn! Everything put on the

skin penetrates.

 

Eyelashes and Eyebrows--You can also use a capsule of activated charcoal.

Empty it into a saucer. Mix glycerin and water, half and half and add it to

the charcoalpowder until you get the consistency you like. Use a brush for

eyelashes; use a finger for eyebrows.

 

Lipstick--Combine 1 tsp vegetable glycerin and 1 tsp. beet root powder in a

saucer. Stir until perfectly smooth. Then add 1/2 tsp of vit E oil. Snip

open vitamin E capsules or buy vit E oil. Apply liberally with your finger

or a lipstick brush. Do not purse or rub your lips together after

application. To make the lipstick stay on longer, apply 1 layer of lipstick,

then dab some cornstarch over the lips, then apply another layer of

lipstick. Store in a small glass or plastic container in the refrigerator,

tightly covered in a plastic bag.

 

Face Powder--Use cornstarch fromthe original box. You may also try arrouw

root starch or potato starch. use your fingers or a tissue to apply because

applicators can carry bacteria.

 

Blush----Add 50% glycerine to cornstarch in a saucer to make a paste. Slowly

add beet root powder to the desired color. Use part of a charcoal capsule

to darken it, if desired. A drop of food grade alcohol will also darken it.

To make 50% glycerin, add equal parts of glycerin and water. Try to make

the consistency the same as your brand name product, and you can even put it

back in your brand name container.

 

ELAINES NOTE:: My very favorite thing to put on my face to cut down on

oiliness and make the pores in my face appear finer, I make a tinture of the

White Oak bark in vodka. I dab some on my face morning and evening, or

before I go off to a meeting somewhere. My face loves it!!!!!!!!! You can

make this yourself. I'm sure Ian has the instructions for making tinctures

in the files!!
