HI Susie!
Can’t wait to try the mascara! Have all the ingredients and going to make it tonight! After reading the reviews, I’m going to add extra charcoal and a tad more beeswax. I’ll let you know how it comes out. Thanks for putting this together. I’m also going to put a little homemade hairspray in the formula at the end. Hope it will make it somewhat waterproof.

What type of syringe did you use to transfer the mascara? Thanks!

I admire your effort and determination in making this beautiful mascara. I do agree that makeup is some of the hardest products to DIY, but I think you did a great job on this one and I just might try your recipe sometime. Thanks!

For the activated charcoal, did you take the charcoal out of the caplets or just melt the entire caplet?

In reply to Mary. Adding more charcoal is definitely the way to go to make it darker. More beeswax will work as a thickener. I've tried this many different ways and find I like how it looks with more beeswax, but it is nearly impossible to get it into a mascara tube. So it just depends on how you want to store it.

I did make this but found it was not black enough for the look I wanted so next time I think I will try adding more charcoal I also tried it as a liquid eye liner it works well needs drying time but even for the eye liner I did not find it dark enough this mascara has a very light coat and does not make a mess when you wash it off If you have any tips for making it darker other than the charcoal please let me know if I want to make it thicker do I add more beeswax? Over all I like this :) just need to make some adjustments :) Thank You
