Quick tip to everyone if you cant fibd or use activated charcoal then get some raw almonds and roast them until they burn then just crush and voila

[@fatema8292]

thank you!

Would black eyeshadow work instead of the chalk

[@janeaverycruz1143]

Can you make your intro more shorter?

[@hellarad3834]

does it dry matte or does it stay liquidy?

[@joannecarroll5504]

Thank you. I like that you used pure & sensible ingredients for your recipe rather than other videos where people just throw together a bunch of pre-existing cosmetics & pretend like they've invented something new. Also like that you did your research as there are too many people on YT giving bad & dangerous advice.

[@1magda2345]

Wow I love this! The chemicals in eyeliners really irritate my eyes. I can't wait to try this!

[@muminahsalim1503]

Thank you soo soo much for this. I'm starting to get into makeup (I literally only own a nearly empty jar of lip gloss, which was the only cruelty-free cosmetic I could find). Since I live in Kenya, it can be really hard to find drugstore products that are cruelty free, but I'm so happy that I found this video and now your other videos on cosmetics. You're a true gem! x

[@sonatak304]

Hi Ela, another fun video! I love your tips and tricks and making my own experiments with them. So I tried this and different recipes with it, I found your version was the most black for eyeliner. The issue was that it was a bit "grainy" even with more liquid and when it was not long lasting on my eyes, it basically dissapeared after a couple hours. I thought I would share! Best!

[@caitlynncaldwell1376]

I love the recipe. Cost effective and mostly good ingredients. The Aloe Vera gell you linked has 3. Tetrasodium EDTA is a preservative that’s made from the known carcinogen, formaldehyde and sodium cyanide. (see how) It is also a penetration enhancer, meaning it breaks down the skin's protective barrier, going right into your bloodstream. Many companies trying to be "natural" will use Tetrasodium EDTA instead of parabens to preserve their products. In my opinion, Tetrasodium EDTA is just as bad. So I'll have to find a replacement for that ingredient. Thanks for making the video!

[@caitlynncaldwell1376]

Caitlynn Caldwell Also, I suggest using plastic bowls and disposable gloves for an easy clean up. Charcoal gets EVERYWHERE, so beware.

[@sanahita9678]

+Caitlynn Caldwell Exactly! When I first saw this video, I searched up the aloe vera gel on Amazon and I saw that ingredient. I'm looking for alternatives, and yes, I've heard the charcoal can be a mess ^_^

[@mariajauregui9328]

I'd suggest getting organic aloe Vera

[@miraarim]

Wondering how long the staying power is and does it smudge or transfer?

[@ABC-tt7qe]

was worried about the same thing, Most aloe gels are very toxic these day. I did find one organic brand at a holistic store once a few years ago, yet it needed refrigeration once open. I'll certainly keep my eyes out for another, though, this tutorial is wayyy too good not to try, I have very sensitive skin, so makeup has been my worst enemy, I have to now adays make my own, hahaha!

do you need vitamene E or is that just for moisturizing your skin?

[@wardaatiq3452]

Hi sister...We need the vitamin E to keep our gel eyeliner in a gel form bcz the aloe vera gel starts drying after some weeks ...so yeah it keeps the liner in a gel form and yeah it also moisturizes our skin ...💕💕

Hi! I've tried this recepie about two weeks ago and now I've found that the eyeliner gel has started to rot, or at least there is a mould now :( what have I done wrong?

Hey Ela! What can I use instead of Vitamin E oil? this vid was so helpful and ur AMAZING! :)

[@marlan5470]

About the activated charcoal for those who don't have much cash to spend on buying that stuff: get a small bag of almonds. You can roast one almond until it turns to powder. Indians use ghee, which is clarified butter, mixed with that roasted almond to make eyeliner. Experiment for the consistency you think is best. And that eyeliner will be black like the heart of Sauron. Will take days to completely wash off.

Hi Ela, I just made this and it works; it is something that last the whole day. In order to make this I bought the Vitamin E oil, so I was hoping you could tell me what are some ways I could use this vitamin in a DIY project.

[@nikayazdani2162]

HI! thanks for the recipe! I made this but it didnt turn out so great! well it actually started growing fungi after like a few days and I freaked out! i dno maybe my aloe vera gel was too natural... Maybe I could use an alternative to aloe vera? any suggestions! I prefer oil based ingredients so they have longer shelf-lifes but unfortunately they dont stick as well as aloe vera and they smudge all over the place

[@MollyMockingjay]

Have you tried vegetable glycerin? I actually use it as an eyeshadow primer and it makes the eyeshadow stick pretty well!

[@nikayazdani2162]

+MollyMockingjay hey! Thanks! I think I'll give that a try, it's a good idea. But is it okay if it gets into eyes? Because I heard that you have to dilute it a lot before use or it'll have a drying affect

[@MollyMockingjay]

+Nikkie Yoland there's actually something called "artificial tears" that you use when your eyes are dried out or irritated and it contains glycerin but there are two types of glycerin which can either be derived from animals or vegetables (I use vegetable glycerin because I'm vegetarian) but I'm not sure which one is used in the eye drops.

[@janayahrodriguez632]

Knowing how broke I am and don't have any of these things. I just used some cream eyeshadow ( it was like in a cream form eyeshadow )And since it was a little too thick, I mixed it with a bit of water, WORKED PERFECTLY.not smudge proof, but it helped me correct funny looking lines :) ( I find a way out of situations )

[@brighteronehonda4103]

I followed the direction with the right ingredients, but the liner was so liquid y so I added another one of the charcoal and still wasn't dark enough so I have added another one which makes 3 charcoals now and I kept putting on one coat to another until it finally got black. I had to apply on it several times until it finally looked like eyeliner.

[@planetavenue9279]

Hi there Ela🌷 I have a question for you.. I have followed your recipe to the exact science, yet the activated charcoal stays a bit separated after mixing well. When I mean well, I mean mixing for s good half hour. When applying it’s gritty, and dries up with charcoal falling into my eyes and burning me like crazy. Any suggestions as to why my formula isn’t mixing correctly?

[@brittanymchenry6202]

Adelita DeLune Charcoal is pretty coarse and likes to clump up when wet, so I think that you could try blending the charcoal in a coffee grounder or a spice grounder to try to make it more finely milled. You could also try iron oxide pigment because those powders are much more finely milled and are much less likely to clump together when wet

[@glitterbug102]

I have only loose charcoal..how many tsps would 3 capsules equal out too?

[@LearningWithMaryam]

Awesome how long does this last thanks alot 👍 😊

[@artcraft268]

Is fresh alo gel better or the ones from pharmacy?

[@mennatallah_mohamed5792]

what should i use as an alternative of aloe vera gel !?

[@hipretty]

Ela maybe you know how to troubleshoot this? I so wanted to love this recipe…but it is not working out for me :-( Maybe in New Zealand they grind their activated charcoal to more smooth and powdery texture? My charcoal, although appearing powdery, I can still feel grittiness between my fingers when I rub it.I thought when I added the gel wetting it might smooth it out, but I can still feel grit. I even remade it grinding it in advance with a mortar and pestle for quite a while. I still feel it is gritty to use near the eye, what if some flaked into the eye - ouch! I even added some melted beeswax for smoothness after. Still feel it. Maybe you too feel that grittiness, but it doesn't flake. Or maybe yours is smooth as baby powder IDK! Any ideas how to to fix this?

[@sevyrancesilver2772]

I have the same issue, but I do just grind mine down with a mortar and pestle and it works fine, though honestly I grind it for about three hours. It will never be as smooth as you want it to be, but it can get pretty close. It's just one of those things you have to deal with when using charcoal as a cosmetic ingredient. There is a cute Indian girl who shows essentially how to make old fashioned 'lamp black' which she then uses to make her eyeliner. It's one of the first several videos that pop up when you search 'make your own natural eyeliner' on KZbin. Her method is going to give you the smoothest natural charcoal black you can get, but it is a little more time and effort consuming.

[@hipretty]

@@sevyrancesilver2772 Thank you so much for your reply, that was so sweet. My comment was so many years ago I forgot about it...I'm surprised I got no responses all this time. I was a lifelong vegetarian then, but I would not use beeswax now as I am Vegan. I have used powdered Kohl / Kajal as I grew up, because my Dad's wife was Morrocan and she gave me my first batch! I wanted a different method, because some kohl you purchase can contain lead. I do know how to make it from the lamp but when my kids were younger I was afraid to leave it burning so long! Thank you for your comment I think years later I can now revisit the lamp method! 💗🙏🌺

[@cicadamonroe6317]

I think she said that this one is from nail polish, but I get mine from a site called "abundanthealth4u" (sounds sketchy, but i swear it's awesome!) You can also get larger-sized containers from there, if you want to make your own foundation or face cream, and then they make glass bottles you can use for homemade cleaning supplies, if you're trying to get away from plastic and chemicals. Its all SUPER cheap, too.
