Homemade/DIY black eyeliner

I searched online for recipes on eyeliner. What I found:

• Recipes using activated charcoal and oils (from Simple Life mom);
• Recipes using activated charcoal and water (from A Blossoming Life);
• Recipes using activated charcoal, water and cornstach (from Health Starts In The Kitchen);
• Recipes using powdered eyeshadows, glycerine and water (from Desejos de Beleza);
• Recipes uring powdered eyeshadows and glycerine (from Tudo sobre Maquiagem).

So basically, something for color and something to make it glide on skin and make it stay. The cornstach used on the third link is for staying power, bacause it absorbs the oil from the skin.

Since I can't wear make up, using eyeshadow was not an option. So, for my recipe, I used activated charcoal purchased from a local drugstore, and cocoa powder. 

For the other ingredient, I considered using only water, since the weather where I live doesn't allow any oil to solidify.

My recipe is:

• Pigment: activated charcoal, cocoa powder;
• Binding ingredient: just water;
• And cornstach, for its oil absorbing qualities.

I applied cornstach to my lids, like I would with eyeshadow, dipped my eyeliner brush on a drop of water, removed the excess, dipped it on the mixture of charcoal and cocoa powder, and applied to my lids.

It doesn't look like a gel eyeliner or a liquid eyeliner, it's softer, as soft as it would be with eyeshadow only. I thought it was great, because I'm blonde and harsh eyeliner doesn't look good on me. I draw a simple wing on the outer corners. It lasts all day and doesn't smudge.
