I have been following you many years ago when you only have a web site. You’ve inspired me to create DIY skin care beyond soap making. Thank you for sharing your wealth of DIY knowledge!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@stergiosbouzoukas7353]

Same applies for me too. I started with soap making and then proceeded with emulsions and stuff. Each time I had/have a challenge/problem I check your website. only recently I found out that you actually upload videos on KZbin.

[@alisonlait2655]

I made this, it worked really well. I used the polyamide-3 from makingcosmetics. I used wheat germ oil since I’m on the guaifenesin protocol, which limits a lot of topical oils. Thanks for posting this formulation.

[@gladystolentino78]

Aww!! You’re the one who made this book!! I love this book I’m always checking it out in my library and has helped me so much to make my own makeup! ❤

[@AnnaMadrigal-gz5ho]

how did you get the measurements right i also own the book but i dont own a teaspoon with the measurements she specifies for the colorblends 1/64 5/16 7/64 ? how much is that in a teaspoon ? is there specific measuring spoons with those quantities i only own the basic like 1/2 teas , teas , 1/4,18 3/4 etc thanks

[@Whats_Up_Chicken-Butt]

WOW! I am SO EXCITED to have come across your AMAZING channel, Marie, and you can bet I have definitely subscribed and am looking forward to watching every single one of your videos AND buying your book....YOU'RE AN AMAZING TEACHER, thank you! Okay, I have a QUESTION, PLEASE: Is this makeup formulation suitable for mature skin? I don't want to go through the process of making it and buying products for it if it won't work for someone with a lot of wrinkles. My only concern was how it appeared to really grip on your skin in lieu of "typical" non-transfer-resistant formulations; thus my concern with spread-ability and coverage without it "sticking" into wrinkles and me not being able to easily spread it.....does this make sense?? I hope to hear from you and THANK YOU, AGAIN!! Big hugs from Texas!

Thanks, Jill! I rarely use concealer, I'll just build up coverage in areas that need it :) I often don't even put foundation all over my face. I always do my nose and chin for redness + under eyes, and sometimes I just stop there. Happy making!

Hello Marie 👋🌸 please Formulate a chemical Exfoliating AHA OR BHA serum. ✨

[@hettikel000]

Hi there! Great content 😊 I’m looking to make diy makeup to ensure no toxins or chemicals and I’m checking the ingredients on EWG and the data on these ingredients are limited. Do you have any knowledge on the purity of these ingredients? Thank you for the content!

[@susanwangcfa3685]

Hi, Marie. Is that correct that "Silica Dimethyl Silylate" prevents the foundation from settling into fine lines? I ask because that ingredient seems to be used in lipstick products much more so than foundation/concealers when it comes to professional formulations, from what I see online. Thank you.

[@diamondweems6476]

What do you recommend to have a transfer proof lipstick? Do you have a video for this?

[@margotcarette7705]

I think you like more natural looking product but Can some alterations be made to make this like full coverage ??

[@mandyheart8754]

I love your content! Thank you for being such an informative, thorough and beginner-friendly source for foundational (& more!) info. It’s obvious how much time, effort and thought goes into your product formulas, encyclopedia, videos and postings. What you do is SO impressive and helpful! I have a suggestion for a type of product to be formulated. I’ve noticed that a particular-ish kind of cosmetic has been gaining traction. They’re soft luminizer/facial tint hybrid products, which give users that prized dewy skin look while also providing light coverage. Some tout additional benefits with qualities of a primer and/or SPF as well. Product (type) I’ve noticed trending: •Charlotte Tillbury Hollywood Flawless Filter •Joah Tinted Glow Crystal Luminizer Stick •Maybelline Instant Age Rewind 4 in 1 Glow Perfector • Neutrogena Healthy Skin Radiant Booster Primer & Serum To name a few…and of course there are many more similar products out there. Something that can be easily applied with hands or tools, and is a lightweight, looks-like-skin, low coverage, healthy glow (but not glitter…more “hydrated skin radiance”), moisturizing kind of thing for everyday wear and super easy to use. Perhaps this plants a seed in your mind, should you ever want to attempt a formula for this kind of product. 😁

Not getting polyamide 3 in India, Amy other option? Can I use resin?

Would a powder 'mineral' starter base of titanium dioxide, magnesium aluminum silicate, and sodium benzoate work for this recipe, or are there any possible reactions that should be advised against? I want to create a long lasting colorless foundation such as this.

hi marie, so i purchased your book but when i try to make the colorblend for avneet cool med/ it makes it very hard to get any teaspoons with 1/64 7/16 3/32 ect what does that mean in teaspoons i can not find any teaspoons with those measurements so i dont know how much to add im baisically in the same spot as before buying your book i dont know how much to add where do i buy those specific teaspoons??

[@kkero5428]

Hi Marie! I am addicted to your channel( was introduced to it through my studies with Formula Botanica). You saved my seriously dry chapped lips with your nourishing lip mask. So THANK YOU! I am in your debt for that! So I had a question about formulating foundation. I live in Sweden(But I am an American girl- husband is Swedish) and the EU is getting ready to ban all titanium dioxide in foods(anything edible) in August. I read recently that it might be also banned in makeup in the future. But really don't know if that's true. However I'd love to try formulate a makeup without the titanium dioxide. What do you think is a good replacement? It seems like it is one of the best ingredients to use in foundation... I was looking at the brand Omiana and they have a mineral powder that is without Mica and Titanium Dioxide. Seems like they have a blend of Kaolin clay and Zinc oxide. Do you have any thoughts on trade offs for titanium dioxide? Thanks for all the lovely inspiration you give through your channel!

[@theresefrancis9283]

Yes, I was also wondering about the titanium dioxide and what could be used instead. Zinc Oxide is in a similar boat I think.

[@EscapeArtist662]

Now I’m really curious if this is a dupe for salt ny

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It's not-this is an evolution on a formulation that started as a quasi-dupe for RCMA :)

[@susanbarretto5226]

Any suggestions to get the polyamide 3 in Vancouver or anywhere in Canada other than TKB trading?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

No :( It's really not widely available at all. If you don’t have it and can’t get polyamide-3, I recommend making my Second Skin Cream Foundation (www.humblebeeandme.com/second-skin-cream-foundation/) instead. It’s still lovely, just not transfer-resistant.

[@biacosta4184]

what would I have to do to add more coverage to this? add more of the pigment?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You'd want to make the mineral makeup with less (or no) sericite mica :) Trying to add more pigment to this will make it really hard to work with-you might be able to get away with another 5%, but that won't give the same coverage boost as going back to the mineral makeup. Happy making!

[@najiyajahan4062]
