Recipe Notes:
It's good practice to sterilize all your equipment before starting, as this product is going very close to the eyes and we want to minimize the chance of any eye irritation/infection.
If you want a brown mascara, substitute a brown iron oxide for the black (or mix the two together for a dark brown shade).
I used BTMS - 50 for my recipe. I use it in my homemade hair conditioner so already had it on hand, but Polawax or Emulsifying Wax NF may also work as alternatives. These three are known to be less irritating to the eyes than other emulsifying waxes.
Always allow cake mascara to fully dry out before putting the lid back on the container to help prolong it's shelf-life and discourage the growth of bacteria.
