How to Make DIY Highlighting Moon Drops

[@cynnaratregarth2009]

I have my print copy....and notes...lots of notes. This will be perfect for a princess. Someone is celebrating her birthday in July, so auntie is plotting ahead. Plus my sister would love it as easy makeup for school. She's a science teacher. 👩🏻‍🏫

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

OOoh, how fun! With a touch of pink these would be great additions to my other assorted princess-y recipes!

[@aakankshasonalkar2158]

i literally binge watched almost all your lip videos today and straight up ordered your book on Amazon. You're AMAZING! Love from india 🇮🇳

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you so much! Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com)-I've been blogging for over 8.5 years while I’ve only been on KZbin for about 4, so there is TONS more content on the blog!

[@ashlynnkaplan1369]

I really love all the Selfie Brushes too! I have them all and love the powder one for both powder foundation and my liquid and the Foundation for my liquid foundation. These are beautiful! I have some highlight drops I make in a base of Caprylic Triglyceride (NOT fractionated coconut oil, like not the same) and broccoli seed oil with some passionfruit. Love them so much! My favorite mica was the Echo mica from TKB but very sadly it has been discontinued so I am playing with a combination of others to make something similar!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Oooh, I do love broccoli seed oil, and I need to find some passionfruit oil! And don't you hate it when awesome things are discontinued? Boo on TKB (though I love them, haha)! :(

[@msambertots]

True to its name. You are so humble and kind! Love you ☺️

[@laurienash9435]

Revisiting this really cool idea. And I will totally endorse the book. I have not bought any makeup from the store since buying it, Initial investment of supplies will definitely pay off. Thanks Marie - total fan!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks so much, Laurie! ❤️

[@thewhimsicalshelly5874]

I just got your book the other day on Amazon!! I have all the ingredients for this, I am making this recipe for a bridal shower so I need to make a lot of the base at once ( making 1 oz droppers)! Can you tell for the base the percentage for the silica microspheres and the fractionated coconut oil? I can't figured it out :/

[@thewhimsicalshelly5874]

I thank you!! :)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Yay! To scale it up I would recommend doing it using the weights I provided in the description box :)

[@rachaelshaabani7137]

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks for watching! :D

Please make eyeshadow! Huhu i really love this really looking forward to making my own 😍

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hey! You’ll find what you are looking for in my book 😊 It’s called Make it Up: The Essential Guide to DIY Makeup and Skin Care and it’s all about how to create your own makeup at home. I’ve compiled a big list of places to buy it here: www.humblebeeandme.com/make-it-up-preorder/. I’m very proud of it, and if you’re interested in making your own colourful cosmetics it is definitely a great place to start!

[@joannerochon4628]

Marie, I'd love to try these. I have your book and love it. My question is the measuring spoons. All I can find in small spoons are the dash, smidgen type spoons but they don't give the measurements on them. at least not that I can see. Where did you get yours? opps just found it in your FAQs. you really do cover all the bases. :)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

:D Here's the link for anyone else who might be wondering :) www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/lets-talk-mini-measuring-spoons/

[@hannahvelier]

oooh 5, 7 and 9

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks! I'm still wearing these all the time :D

[@Saeed-we6gc]

I really like your makeup video

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you!

[@thaiseathaydesantos]

Your videos are really relaxing, I've been watching you the whole day. Unfortunately I have no idea of where to buy the materials here in Brazil

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I've got lots of sources linked here: www.humblebeeandme.com/resources/. You may find somewhere that will ship to you :)

[@covegirl06]

Thank you very much for doing this video :-) will this actually adhere to the skin for hours? I have attempted to make a highlighter several times and failed. the main issue I have is it being smeared off very easily. I also tried adding kaolin clay with glycerin. that made it adhere to skin well. But the clay made the consistency of it clumpy and the batch eventually dried up into a solid lol. Not sure if the measurements were just off or what. don't have silica on hand to experiment with. So I wanted to know how well this adheres to skin b4 I waste more money.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hey! Yes, my makeup works! I test it, and I don't publish crappy recipes :) Experiment with confidence!

[@tinaames8781]

Hmmm....love this! Looks so fun! Do you think this may work in a small glass roller bottle? Or do you think it'll be too thick?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It definitely won't work in a roller bottle; it becomes quite solid over time.

[@Najma-n1]

4:44 Yey! Got that bee

[@zeledohealth4695]

nice tips

[@puretreatments1050]

Hi there. So I can’t find a recipe You have but it requires guar gum. However I have the gaur gum that looks like crystals of salt. I don’t know how to make it into a powder. Any ideas?

[@tanjaturner4684]

can you also put the base in say a lip gloss tube and also can i use this product cyclomethicone and Caprylic / capric triglyceride

[@hazeld8403]

Fantastic video. I've just ordered your book from Amazon.co.uk. Does anyone know where I can get silica microspheres in the UK or Europe?

[@ceemy8879]

Hazel Daniells try www.aromantic.co.uk

[@hazeld8403]

Thanks very much for the tip! I have used aromantic before but didn't think of them. They do "silica microfine" which I assume is what I need here.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks, Hazel! And thanks Mya for the shopping tips!

[@purplepaars1]

you are so funny, crazy amazing;)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you!

[@itaaaaamatt]

hi marie

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Since there's no water and the carrier oils I've used have a long shelf life these should last at least a year, if not two :)

[@atlantisfae1111]

Hey Marie, I just bought your book! I'd love your opinion on something, I've been working on a version of this that I'm trying to make extremely metallic- like BEAMING- but- it is creating a lot of texture on the skin, any ideas about what I could add to make it a bit more smooth yet illuminating? I have serecite mica and silk mica in it, would the silica microspheres you used above help? Also what type of preservative would you recommend? any ideas would be SO APPRECIATED! Thank you x

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Here's some links on preservatives: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/need-add-preservative-recipe-long-will-last/, www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/what-preservative-should-i-use-how-much-of-it-should-i-add/ I really can't say regarding the highlighter you're making without knowing WAY more about what you're doing. It's sort of like if I'd said I'd made a dish with salt and peanut butter, and would adding a tomato help, haha.

[@atlantisfae1111]

Humblebee & Me I totally understand, and I'm really really grateful for you replying with that link. Do you do private consultations on formulation advice - paid ofcourse? Thank you so much for getting back to me. Xxx

[@tasneemmansi9378]

Can i use it as a liquid eyeshadow?

[@valbakke]

What foundation do you use?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It's in my book! My recipe :)

[@MizzTiaraB618]

Hi! Would cyclomethicone work in place of fractionated coconut oil? Just curious. Thanks!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I wouldn't recommend it; it is definitely possible to create something like this using cyclomethicone, but this recipe is designed to work with a lightweight oil. Replacing the lightweight oil with something as volatile as cyclomethicone would likely create a final product that is drying to the skin between the evaporation of the cyclomethicone and the drying effect of the silica.

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

Awesome......I would love that because I really want to take care of my skin as well as learn how to make my own makeup because for one you end up knowing what suits your own skin even before you make mistakes by getting makeup from the store that can sometimes cause break outs and to tell you the truth I am allergic to face scrubs like the ones from Lakmé fruit scrubs.....and I had got it because one of my best friends told me that it was a good product and the next day after I tested it on my face I actually broke out and when I went to college that day, my friend asked me what happened because I had sever blisters and redness on my skin and I told her that my face reacted to the face scrub she told me to try.......and she said that she never had anything happen to her when she used this same product.....and it took a month to heal and also I stopped using it so yes it was something I am really careful of now and it took a long time for my scars from these blisters to fade.....

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Oh no! I guess you are one of those people who really must patch test everything 😐 At least if you can find out exactly what it is that you're sensitive to it's very easy to avoid those things when you DIY 😊

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

Yup! But I had been using Clean and Clear and Neutrogena foaming face washes and they seemed to be fine with my skin but my friend felt that it was not only expensive but also she said that that was causing breakouts in her case and that's why she changed to Lakmé fruit face scrubs....I never tried face scrubs before and I was searching for the same brand of the face washes (because well they normally go and react well with the same brands face washes) but I couldn't find one and Lakmé is very famous in India (apart from Loreal but it is a high end product so it's hard to buy them by the common man in India) and the scrubs were kept separate from the brand's face washes and I had no idea about it and I thought "well all face scrubs are the same thing right? whether they are from one brand or the other? so I can try A face wash from Clean and Clear or Neutrogena and the face scrubs from Lakmé and face mask from EverYouth". I had tried EverYouth face masks and it didn't react with my skin so that's why I thought it would work.....and I was SOOOOO wrong when it came to face scrub......so I guess I really have to do a real DIY for myself so that I know what things can cause breakouts on my skin. And according to that test out stuff in the market as well....:-)....

[@AliAli-ww9vt]

Is there any other natural ingretsdient than silica microspheres ?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Silica is pretty dang natural-it's a major constituent in sand :)

[@Dgarays]

Hello there! Loving your channel. Quick question how long do these Moon drops last in the jar before the get damaged? Because I’d love to make some but usually my makeup last me long before I ran out.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking? We're not typically worried about damage for makeup like this-the life of the jar will depend on the jar and how well you treat it. If you're asking about the shelf life of the product, I have an FAQ on that here: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/long-will-______-last-shelf-life/.

[@Dgarays]

Humblebee & Me thanks a lot! Yes I guess that is what was asking I just didn’t know it was called shelf life LoL knowing that I can do the best amount with no waste. Though I guess I’m more safe just doing really a tiny batch. Thank you for the info 🙏🏻

[@23bv47]

What can we incorporate to help with separation??

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Check out TKB Trading's "Thickening Clay" product-there's more info on it in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) :)

[@pausaki4784]

Can i use safflower oil instead

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Yup!

[@arinak1955]

Hey Marie, does your book contains recepie of mascara? Or nail polish?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Yes to mascara, no to nail polish-though I do have a nail polish video on my channel :)

[@rayajean4999]

I'm allergic to coconut and have to stay away from anything with coconut oil in it. What would be a good alternative to use?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I've covered this all in the blog :) www.humblebeeandme.com/highlighting-moon-drops/

[@Random_847]

A ma zing!!!!☮️💟

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I still love these ❤️ So fun and fast to make!

[@aakrutidalmia934]

Hi Marie. Is silicone dioxide same as silica microspheres?

[@veronicavatter6436]

aakruti dalmia the bag says that, so I guess so

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Not necessarily-check with your manufacturer/supplier. Think about all the different things that could be "steel" and still not be a car door!

[@ThePoleen07]

Is there a way to get your book in ebook? I really want it

[@aeliyaali5422]

What is the alternate for Silica microspheres?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You'll find the answer to your question in the blog post that's linked in the description box below the video ;)

[@blkgrlezzy]

do the silica microspheres thicken the highlighters? the highlighters i want to make are oil based but I don't want them to be too runny.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

They do contribute some thickening, along with the micas, and I find they thicken up over time as well. I don't fine 'em to be too runny at all!

[@miriamkavzalidou8115]

how can I replace silica micropheres? It doesnt exist in my country! T_T

How do you turn these liquid highlighters to a solid powder?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

That's sort of like asking how to turn a soup into a sandwich-you'd be better off to start with making a powder :) I have lots of recipes in my book! www.humblebeeandme.com/make-it-up-preorder/

Are #1 and #6 the same?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Whoops! They weren't, but I wrote 'em out like they were. I fixed it! Good catch :)

[@charenza14]

Does the mica seperate from the oil?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

A little, yes, due to the density difference, but it's nothing a quick poke with a finger won't fix :)

[@Hastupropionegocio]

hello Marie, I have your book, Iam soap maker since 25 years ago, now I am also making cosmetics but I have a question, Can I use argan oil instead jojoba oil on preparations? will apreaciate your advise.
