Even though all my co workers call me a “crazy hippie”, there are just some things I cannot live without. Well, I probably could, but I choose not to. One of those things would be makeup. I have a difficult time leaving the house without something on my face. Even if it is just a little homemade foundation, mascara, and eyebrow filler. Some things are more priority than others… or for me, priority comes when I run out of a certain type of makeup. Thus, I bring you homemade, natural eyebrow filler!
Homemade Natural Eyebrow Filler
This eyebrow filler is made simple and natural ingredients like cocoa or cacao powder
, activated charcoal powder
, and sweet almond oil
. Some of these you probably already have in your pantry! non-GMO corn starch
One of my goals is to remove all of the toxic chemicals in our home, so this homemade, natural eyebrow filler is just one step closer to meeting this goal!

Notes
Do you use eyebrow filler? What’s your favorite homemade makeup recipe?
this looks like a great recipe.
Thanks for the recipe!
For the other poster. I halved the recipe and it still filled two little (I think 5ml?) pots with quite a bit leftover (probably could have filled a third pot if I had one spare). I tried it tonight but found that the pigment wasn’t really strong enough for me – if I applied a lot, my eyebrows just looked like they were filled with thick greasy goo but if I wiped off the excess, there wasn’t enough pigmentation 🙁 I’m going to try and mix some more activated charcoal into one pot and some brown and black oxide into the other pot and see how it goes!
Yeah I agree that it looks greasy and/or smudges very easily
Well I love everything you do everything is so natural .I’m going to give it 5.0
But what size tin does this fit in? A .25 Oz? A .50 ounce? Or a 1 ounce tin?
The consistency of this filler does not allow for easy application. It clumps and ends up sticking to the brush more than actually filling in eyebrows. 🙁
Hi 🙂
What does the cocoa do in this recipe ?
Maybe I’m missing something
I find Almond Oil to be really “greasy”. Does this dry on the eyebrow so it won’t smudge?
It will naturally absorb. You could always try a different oil that works better for your skin. Let me know how it works.
It will give a brown color.
Thank you Amy for this nice recipe . It worked very well.
Hi Amy! First off, you are NOT a “crazy hippie”. You ARE a beautiful, strong, empowered woman who has many gifts to offer the world! Although, all my friends would call me a bit of a “hippie” as well, so I completely understand. I encourage you to celebrate YOU! Secondly, I LOVE that you enjoy DIY makeup and embrace your womanhood by using it. Keep shinning!
Aww thank you Kelly!!! You’re are so sweet! That was one of the best and sweetest comments I’ve every received.
This looks like a fun DIY. Do you find that it lasts all day without smudging? I’d love to see a before and after shot too!
Would coconut oil work?
Nice recipe! …but when it rains, isn’t the cocoa powder is going to drip in your eyes? Or if it gets really hot, the oil is going to drip in your eyes too. That won’t be pretty!
I think you could set it with aloe gel. Just buy a large aloe leaf from an Asian grocery or whole foods. Cut a small piece off the end the leaf (wide end) and scoop out a little gel with a spoolie brush or cleaned recycled mascara wand. Apply over eyebrow filler and let dry. Wrap the cut end of the aloe leaf in plastic wrap. If you are into a super-natural lifestyle you could use a piece of molded beeswax. Aloe leaf will keep 10-15 days in ref
How about something lighter for blonde eyebrows????
How long might something like this last? I currently use an eyebrow powder but I too am looking to decrease expose to toxins from products. Typically it takes me a very long time to use up any quantity of eyebrow powder so I was just wondering logistically speaking if it would be sustainable to do this depending on how often it would need replaced.
Hey! This looks great; I’ve been looking for a DIY eyebrow liner. 🙂 My one question is this: can you use another oil instead, like jojoba oil? Thanks!
Hey Selag, while i can’t speak for the blogger, I just wanted to take a moment to vouch for castor oil. It helps stimulate hair growth! This recipe is a great way to add it to your routine (esp if you’re like me and forget to use the treatment daily)
Can you tell me if castor will help grow eyebrows back?
yes it does help grow your eyebrows back
Your eyebrows will get better than usual but wont come back to original status
i suggest get off sugar radically … most loss of hair on body is because of excessive salt and sugar intake.. processed foods are a curse too
in the meantime keep using castor oil and eventually you will see a difference… and NO all these ignoramuses who are giving you false hopes that you will have super thick eyebrows again , its a lie
