I have been looking for this type of book.
This book is a great book. It’s easy to read, has a lot of personal stories, and tells why ingredients are used. It’s everything you need to get started and use your own creativity.

Just made my own foundation!! Love!!!
It was a bit pricey to get all the materials BUT I can make countless bottles of foundation for what I would normally pay 1. And yes. Itâs as good as my usual $40 bottle. Iâm shocked at how easy that was.I can now make foundation to match my skin tone in 10 minutes. Iâm going to make my own palette for lips & shadow. Super easy. Great resource for anyone interested in making their own makeup

Love this book!
Marie Rayma has given us a fantastic, high quality, book that is readable, informed, and highly useful. I found Marie’s channel and website, HumbleBeeandMe, to be a free mini course in skincare ingredients. Marie gives excellent source info so that a hobbyist like myself can backup our work and products with fact based information. Skincare is vas, so there is room for all of us! Marie shares with us her passion for formulating and provides easy recipes/formulas that we can use as is or modify for our needs. I have already made several of her recipes, modified for my skin type. Truly, this is a Must-Buy book. You will save time and money. It covers body butters, facial, clays, and makeup. I cannot tell you how liberating it is to be able to make my own lotions, and to actually know WHY I am using a particular ingredient and HOW it works.May I also suggest giving this book as a gift to someone you know who suffers from allergies and has difficulty finding suitable, affordable skincare products.I started learning about skincare because we found out my family members suffered serious ‘eczema’ and ‘atopic dermatitis’ due to allergies to Glycerin and Sunflower oil. Glycerin and Sunflower is in EVERY lotion including medicated lotions. I found someone who made body butter using only Mango and Shea. Bought it, tried it, and it worked great! So I watched a TON of vids before finding Marie Rayma’s. channel, then her website, and now her book. It took me 10 tries using slight variations to find three formulations of body butters and creams that my family LOVES! This has changed our lives and I am saving so much money on useless creams that only numb the skin. On a side note, I also created some lotions for myself and plan to make some as gifts for family and friends.

I Was Forced to Buy This DIY Makeup and Skincare Book, But Now I’m a Beauty Guru!
I never thought I’d be the type of guy to make my own makeup and skincare products, but thanks to this book, I’m now a beauty guru! My wife forced me to buy it for her, but I secretly enjoyed reading it and trying out some of the recipes.The book has everything from DIY lipstick to face masks to hair treatments. I was skeptical at first, but after making my own lip balm and using it throughout the day, I felt like a new man. My lips were so moisturized and soft, I couldn’t stop touching them (much to the embarrassment of my coworkers).I even made some products for my wife, and now she’s constantly asking me to make more. I never thought I’d be in the business of making my own makeup and skincare, but I must say, it’s pretty fun. Who knew mixing different ingredients could be so satisfying?The book itself is easy to follow, even for someone like me who has no experience in this area. It has helpful tips and tricks, and the recipes are straightforward and don’t require any fancy equipment. Plus, the satisfaction of using a product you made yourself is priceless.So, if you’re like me and never thought you’d be interested in making your own makeup and skincare products, give this book a try. Who knows, you might just become a beauty guru too! And if all else fails, at least you’ll have soft, moisturized lips.

Good information
Marie is a very good teacher. I just started making my own lip balms and lotions. I think it’s a great book for someone just learning and also for those that are already experienced at formulating.

Best makeup Formulation book
This amazing book has completely changed where my expendable income goes. Before it went to Sephora and Beautilish on makeup products. NOW it goes to ingredients and lab equipment to make MY OWN MAKEUP!! If you have watched her YouTube channel âThe HumbleBee and Meâ she refers to this book often and the recipes and color formulas in this book are not available on her blog or videos. So JUST BUY IT! One video I do recommend that came out after this book is the one called, â stop spending your money on Micellar waterâ OMG I got those ingredients and I swear spot on to Bioderma! Thank you for this wonderful, well thought out, informative beauty recipe cook book. Face masks, ckeansing balms, cleaning products, concealer, mineral powder, pigment blends for blush and bronzers. Cream and powder ,eyebrow pomade and even mascara and eyeliner!! Iâm not there yet but Iâm getting there! BTW All other cosmetic chemistry books are like 200$!!! Marie pleeeeease make a second book!

This is SOOOOO much fun
Our summer STEM projects this year included making lip balm. We were instantly hooked and then ventured into lotion. I never knew makeup and lotions were so easy to make and SO much better than the expensive commercially available products. So now I’m a bit more serious about it.Marie’s book is a great place to start. Filled with beginner friendly recipes for all sorts of makeup and skincare. I’ve made several recipes and done some with my own personal adjustments (she explains how to begin personalizing) for preferences and they turn out perfectly. Her Youtube channel is super informative as well BUT those recipes are a bit more advanced and can include more ingredients. Super educational, her content is always very high quality.

Les recettes données sont bien, intelligentes mais ne fonctionnent pas pour tous les types de peaux malheureusement. Sans doute que le livre commence à dater maintenant. Hâte que lâauteur en sorte un nouveau.

Humblebee and Me is one of the best resources in an area which is full of disinformation and drivel.This book is a truly useful collection of skincare and make up recipes which actually work, and do what they claim. It is clear, concise and trustworthy.
