Learn how to make cream eyeshadow that glides on smooth and is rich in color with this simple cream eyeshadow recipe. This recipe is perfect for those wanting a quality makeup product without all the chemicals you find in many mass market commercial cosmetics.

What I love about this cream eyeshadow recipe is that it contains no scary chemicals or preservatives. However, like all makeup, you’ll want to discard it after three months and start with a fresh batch. Always use clean hands and applicators when applying to help avoid bacteria being introduced into your makeup. Ready to learn how to make cream eyeshadow? Check out my cream eyeshadow recipe below!
