Best DIY Natural Mascara Recipe

This DIY Natural Mascara recipe is non-toxic, provides great coverage and encourages growth. Using natural ingredients like coconut oil, castor oil and charcoal, it’s not only easy to make, it thickens and lengthens lashes as well.

I normally don’t wear a lot of makeup, but my eyelashes have become more and more sparse as the years roll by. I used to buy commercial mascara, but as I started going all-natural, I decided to switch to more natural brands.

However, I found that many good natural brands can be kind of pricey. So, I decided to go into the kitchen and experiment with making a homemade natural mascara. I tried several different DIY natural mascara recipes and finally found one that I love.

It not only provides good coverage, it also lengthens and thickens your lashes too. Pair this with a good DIY eye cream for a complete eye area beauty routine.
