Want to spruce up your make-up bag? Making your own cream eyeshadows is super easy and can be done in less than 5 minutes. Cream products are life savers when it gets warmer, so trying out this fun DIY should be on the top of your to-do list this summer. You probably already have all the materials you need at home, so let’s get started on creating some fun bold shades for your eyelids!

You will need:

– small containers to hold your cream eyeshadow creations
– something to stir and mix (e.g. a small spoon or spatula)
– the cream component (something like Egyptian Magic or HIRO’s Space Balm)
– loose eyeshadows (we used HIRO’S mineral eyeshadows)

First you will want to choose your color. We went for bold shades like bubble gum pink and a vibrant yellow, but also picked a wonderful hazelnut brown. It really depends on how much pigment you want on your eyelids. For a more subtle look, go for more shimmery loose shadows that are less pigmented.

How To:

Take some of the cream component out with a spatula and place it in the small container. The amount depends on how much product you want to make. Then carefully add the loose shadow and stir. You will quickly see if you need to add more shadow or not. It is up to you and what you want your shadow to look like.

And it’s as easy as that! Close your container or directly apply the eyeshadow to your lids. If you use Egyptian Magic, you will get a more pigmented shadow but it will also be quite shiny. We recommend setting your eye make-up look with some translucent powder to keep it all in place. If you choose to use the Space Balm as the cream component, the color may not be as vibrant but the consistency will be thicker and it will last longer on your eyes.

Pro Tip: Take an angled eyeliner brush and use the cream eyeshadow as a bold liner. It will make your eyes pop!
