Make Your Own Cream Concealer

Several of you have asked for this, and it's been on my to-do list for ages. Now, thanks to a comment from 'Anon' (sure wish you'd posted a name!), I'm going to share this formula for cream concealer/highlighter with you.

The original formula is not mine and is not even in English. Aroma Zone had it on their website (but only in French - évidemment). But since their recent major site overhaul, it seems to have disappeared.

But.

No need to panic.

You can thank me now for being such a diligent and copious note-taker.

You can also rejoice in that fact that I have tried this out before sharing it with you, because I have tweaked the formula (dare I say improved?) a bit. My production process is also slightly more newbie-friendly than the original.

Grams vs Cups

Now, I know some of you work in cups and ounces, but don't ask me to convert this recipe for you. As a matter of fact, don't even do it yourself. It's simply not recommendable – and there's a really good reason.

This formula is for a single container of product. It's only 11 grams. That's a mere 0,388 ounces.

Small amount = need for 100% accuracy.

For 100% accuracy, go with grams!

Grams are easy to work with. Grams are logical. Grams rock!

OK, I'm done trying to sell you on the metric system (for now).

Let's make a cream highlighter/concealer!

Necessary Equipment

• A scale that can measure to a tenth of a gram
• Small mixing bowls (glass is easy to sterilize)
• Small mixing implements
• Heatproof glass beaker (it's a great help if you can pour from your heatproof container - you'll see why in a minute)
• Container for your finished concealer/highlighter

Ingredients and Method

Step 1 

MIX in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed

• 3 gr fractionated coconut oil
• 1,1 gr rice bran oil (or jojoba)
• 0,5 gr coco caprylate (also known as coco silicone)
• 5,3 gr pigment mix in your chosen highlighter/concealer color (see more here)

Step 2 

In a small beaker, MELT slowly over very low heat until liquid

• 1,1 gr beeswax
• 1 drop vitamin e

Step 3 

Add the step 1 mixture to the melted beeswax, mix thoroughly and quickly pour into your final container.

Tip: This mixture solidifies very quickly. If you have trouble getting everything poured up before it stiffens, gently reheat the mixture until liquid enough to transfer.

Enjoy!
