    I’m a little confused as to what you mean Penny. You mean use 75% black and 25% blue? I think that would create a very… black color. I made mine with just blue iron oxide and it isn’t super obvious that it’s blue on the eyelashes.

    I made the blue, and it worked great! More interesting than black 😉

    So what would happen if you used a mascara tube? I bought some online but I’ve read here that you should be using a pot.

    Also, has anyone experimented with different colors of mascara? I was thinking I could use blue iron oxide instead of black, or even put a little carmine and blue in there for purple. Let me know what y’all think!

    Thank you, Belinda! That was really helpful. I too have crazy curly/sometimes wavy hair, so now I understand the downside to putting silicones in your hair.

    I might consider buying some for lotion because of your advice, thanks again!

    The book suggests iron oxide, not mica, that would be a bit too shimmery for foundation I would think. Look for chromium green oxide instead.

    bellbottom the coconut oil completely blended with the other oils in a lip gloss, so that couldn’t happen
