DIY Waterproof Organic Gel Eyeliner:
Eye liner was
first used in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia as a dark black line around the eyes. As early as
10,000 BC, Egyptians and Mesopotamians wore various cosmetics including eyeliner not only for aesthetics but to protect the skin from the desert sun.
Research has also speculated that eye liner was worn to protect the wearer from
the evil eye (Google).
I am a big fan of gel eyeliners. I always tried a lot of
methods and did a bunch of experiments to make my own waterproof gel eyeliner.
YouTube videos were always my tutors. But unfortunately I failed every time.
I remember once I watched a video and did same procedure as
the girl said by adding activated charcoal into oil and aloe Vera gel.
It was a complete wastage of time and money as it was neither
waterproof nor a proper gel eyeliner.
It immediately stuck on my upper lid once I opened my eyes
after its application.
So I decided to try my own kind of ingredients and way. And
this time it was a 100% successful experiment so I am sharing my secret recipe
with you people.
Ingredients:
1 Tsp Coconut Oil
1½ Tsp of Beeswax
½ Tsp of Aloe Vera Gel
1 Kajal/ 3 capsules of Activated Charcoal/black eye shadows
1 Small Bowl
1 Large Bowl
Small container
Mixing Tool/Spoon
Procedure:
Add coconut oil, beeswax, aloe Vera gel and kajal
into smaller bowl.
Take hot water into larger bowl.
Place smaller bowl in larger bowl and wait for 2 to
3 minutes so that ingredients start getting melt.
- The choice of
kajal quantity is all yours. It depends how dense black you want your eyeliner
should be.
Now take a mixing tool or spoon and mix the
ingredients slowly.
Once the ingredients have melted completely mash
them with the back of spoon slowly.
Your organic eyeliner is ready.
Pour it into into an empty container.

Beeswax is used to make it waterproof and
non-sticky. If you don't want waterproof eyeliner then you can simple exempt
this step.
You can also change the consistency of your DIY eyeliner by
changing the quantity of beeswax.
If it is in liquid form, add more beeswax.
And if your eyeliner becomes too thick to apply then add
coconut oil to get your desired consistency.
Coconut oil is good in nourishing eye lashes.
It also boosts eyelash
growth.
It helps to remove wrinkles from eyes.
