DIY Eye Primer!

Hey guys!  Oh my gosh!  You know how in my tutorials I'm always emphasizing to use primer?  Well, I finally found a primer recipe online that has ingredients that the majority of you will already have!  It works well, not quite as good some primers that you can buy like the Urban Decay Primer Potion (which I have never tried) or the Ruby Kisses 24 hr Magic Primer (which is the kind I have), but it's still a good substitute for them when you don't have your primer.

What you'll need:
Lotion (preferably unscented)
Liquid Foundation
Translucent Powder
Container (to store your primer)

What to do:
Make sure that you clean your container.  Take one part lotion and one part powder and put in the container.  (For the lotion, I did an experiment to see if there was a difference between a thick or thin lotion because the majority of the recipes that I found said to use thick lotion or body butter, unscented if you're worried about the scent being on your eyes.  I made two primers, one from thick and one from thin lotion, and tested each one for a day and found that the thin lotion had better staying power but the thick had a better texture for applying and almost had the same staying power if the corners of my eyes didn't start to fade.)  Add in a drop or two of the liquid foundation (it's mainly for color so don't make it too dark).  Mix well, don't have any clumps, marbling (where you can see where lotion is and where color is), or powdery parts.  I used a tooth pick to do this, but you can use a spoon or even a bobby pin.  TAHDAH!  There's your homemade primer!

I'm sorry I don't have any pictures up.  I kind of got excited to find the recipe and made it right away.  The next time I need some, I'll be sure to take pictures so I can post them.

*Update:  It's been about two weeks since I made the primer and the one that I used thick lotion to make had actually dried out to being the texture of dried up toothpaste.  I don't know if it's just the kind of lotion that I used or what.  The one that I used thin lotion to make is starting to thicken up but not by much.  It went from being the texture of ranch dressing to dish soap (very vivid descriptions, eh?).  If there's any other changes, then I'll let you all know.

Have a beautiful day!
