Not so long ago, I discovered that you can make your own natural makeup at home. As it turns out, it's not even that hard: it's a DIY project that turns into a fun girls' day for us. We are using mica powder, zinc oxide, and activated charcoal to make our own natural mascara, lip tints, and powders. Basically they are ground minerals that are naturally occurring in the earth. The bonus is that minerals can be beneficial to your skin.
