Don’t forget to set your look for a lasting beauty! Who would want a makeup meltdown, right? Keep your makeup flawless with a setting spray! Looking for extra benefits? It can also be a refresher for sultry weather and a moisturizer on a cold day. Not bad at all!

8. DIY Face Moisturizer

|

You know I’m big on skincare so a DIY moisturizer is a must on this list. My favorite moisturizer recipe is the mashed banana. It’s a great skin toner and moisturizer at the same time. Mix it with honey for a touch of anti-aging property!

9. Homemade Loose Face Powder

A good face makeup doesn’t end with a foundation but with a good loose powder to set everything. There’s a lot of high-end and drugstore loose powders available but why not try an organic one?

10. Homemade Bronzer

I haven’t mastered the art of bronzers (and highlights!) but it’s good to start with a natural one. You’ll love contouring even more with this homemade item.

11. Homemade Nontoxic Eyeliner

|

Aiming for a perfect winged detail on your eyes? There’s an organic alternative for you! Don’t forget to put extra care when applying eye cosmetics, like this eyeliner.

12. Seaweed Mascara

Mascaras are actually one of the makeup products I started to love. Aside from it’s easy to apply, I also love how it brightens my eyes when I have it on! That’s why when I learned about this seaweed mascara, I could not help but try it for myself too!

13. DIY BB Cream

https://www.instagram.com/p/BeofRO1lohZ/

Who would have thought BB creams have natural alternatives too? I’m not an avid user of BB creams because it doesn’t suit my skin well. Since the DIY cosmetics ingredients of this product are easy to find, this is a must-try!

14. All-Natural  Homemade Eyeshadow

Most of the eyeshadows I use on a daily are the neutral tones: browns, creams, and tans. Since these shades are widely used, they are most of the time “out of stock.” In times like this, homemade eyeshadow is my best option.

15. Bronzing Lotion Bars

What’s good about making your own skincare products is to customize them to match your skin needs. Just like these bronzing lotion bars. Aside from their moisturizing benefits, they also act as an insect repellant, sunscreen, and bronzing bar in one. How amazing is it for a DIY cosmetics recipe? Not to mention they have a summery scent!

16. DIY Lip Scrub

Suffering from chapped lips? Then this is the DIY cosmetics recipe you’re looking for. This lip scrub uses coconut oil to keep moisture, brown sugar to lift dead skin cells, and honey to ward off lip infection.

17. Bath Bombs

I never thought you can DIY bath bombs but here are a few recipes that are easy and exciting to make using the easiest ingredients you can probably find at home!

18. DIY Body Slimming Wrap Gel

Another DIY recipe that’s exciting and fun to make is a body slimming wrap gel. Apply on a body part and cover with a canvas cloth or a cling wrap and let the gel do the work.

19. DIY Organic Lotion
