This occurs to me because I've been shopping for empty Nail Polish bottles, that also have a good brush with them.
(I need more of an abundance of bottles, as opposed to reuse my own emptied nail polish bottles. Even tho I go thru A LOT of nail polish bottles, it's not fast enough for this to pour in the product, then thin it.) Suddenly, it occurred to me, I COULD MAKE MY OWN UNIQUE COLOR!!
After scooping up as much of my beloved, now discontinued, nail polish color, I've already spent too much money looking for a comparative color replacement! Not only are there no comparable replacement colors, so far, but I much prefer thin viscosity of any nail color, so that near daily, I can add 1, or 2 thin polish coats.
Then it occurred to me that numerous ppl make their own "lip gloss" (That reminded me of @monicakm heh The "queen of lip glosses!" )
I've watched programs that created their own soap bars, bubble bath bombs, & even lipstick bullets! It's interesting!)
Has ever any one considered creating yr own particular Cosmetic products/ or colors? Either "Makeup," or "Lotions & Potions?"

I've been formulating my own vitamin C serum for eons. Tried different recipes, lots of failures and some good ones, too. That's about as far as I want to go with DIY skincare. Forget about DIY makeup.

I'm impressed! (Not surprised, @SilleeMee ! But impressed! heh)

I made my own perfume. Back in the day when fragrance samples had a lift off top instead of a spray, I would pour the samples I liked into a glass perfume bottle that was decanter style with a glass applicator and gave it a swish. Every purchase at the department store cosmetic counter was usually accompanied by two or three perfume or cologne samples. I smelled each one. I tossed the ones that I did not like and added the ones that I liked to the perfume bottle.
Making perfume or cologne is only complicated if trying to achieve a specific scent. Mixing random scents simply creates a one-of-a-kind scent. They ruined my party when the spray tops started being used since they are difficult if not impossible to remove.

OH! I forgot.
Awhile back, I fell madly in love with Avon's "Lavender, Nail Cuticle Treatment Pen." I really like Cuticle treatment that come in that pen form. In fact, Ive tucked away a few in my "Cosmetic Fridge." it was PHENOMENAL!! And heavenly scented
Last I checked, awhile back, ONE sold for $30 on ebay!! A SINGLE!
I wanted to analyze the formulation, which I thought wldnt be too difficult. And I'd already bought the empty pens (below). But, come time to fill the empty pens, I forgot how to fill 'em!!!
So the empty pens r sitting here, waiting for any oil & scent I intend to put in them. This busy person likes the pen application of Cuticle oil. Fits my lifestyle! Fast & effective (heh - ultimately)!

I have made my own hair oil, but that's about it.

Making cosmetics to me has all the allure of using a rubboard to wash clothes, making soap, killing chickens, growing a garden, having sheep and spinning wool, and sewing.
