It's easier than you think! In Make It Up author Marie Rayma shares the recipes she has developed through years of trial, error, and testing to come up with the very best. This is real makeup and skincare: bright lipsticks, quality mineral powders, long-wearing eyeliners, and masks and cleansers that yield results. Rayma walks you through natural ingredients available online or at health food stores. These awesome oils, butters, clays, and minerals will replace the petroleum products, artificial colors, and lab-created mystery fragrances that have untold effects on our bodies. Products can be tailored for individual needs -- from swapping out ingredients not suitable for sensitive skin to whipping up the perfect colors suited for any complexion. With easy-to-follow instruction, Make It Up provides more than 40 essential cosmetics and skin care projects so you can make just what you want, when you need it. Review: 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. Review: Make it Up is perfect for those who love to DIY and want to explore the cosmetics side! - I stumbled upon the Humblebee & Me YouTube channel by Marie Rayma about two months ago and it is easily one of my favorites. She presents the instructions well, gives fantastic information and is easy to watch. As a fan of DIY and creating things of all sorts I decided to give this book a go! I’m very happy with my purchase. The book is beautifully put together and offers a wealth of information on ingredients and supplies including costs which were pretty spot on. I ordered some from TKB Trading. The recipes are easy to follow and lots of resources are provided on where to get some of the supplies if they are not readily available to you. Also, She offers great tips on substitutions and ways to customize your product for you. I love the layout and organization of the book. It starts with the essentials, moves into starter projects and concepts and then chapters covering skin care, face makeup, eye makeup and lip makeup. If you are new to cosmetic and skin care DIY like I am this book is a perfect book for you! I also highly recommend the YouTube channel and blog. Time to get back to flipping the pages of this amazing book! *Not sure why it says the Kindle version under my review. I have the actual book ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #174,967 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #125 in Grooming & Style #132 in Organic Cooking #162 in Crafts & Hobbies Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 999 Reviews | ## Images ![Make It Up: The Essential Guide to DIY Makeup and Skin Care - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812kUrasW6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this book! *by B***W on October 24, 2022* Marie Rayma has given us a fantastic, high quality, book that is readable, informed, and highly useful.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Make It Up: The Essential Guide to DIY Makeup and Skin Care - A-Z of Natural Cosmetic Formulation: The definitive beginners’ guide to the essential terminology, theories and ingredient types needed to formulate professional cosmetic products - Make Your Own Pure Mineral Makeup: 79 Easy Hypoallergenic Recipes for Radiant Beauty --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/37236857-make-it-up-the-essential-guide-to-diy-makeup-skin](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/37236857-make-it-up-the-essential-guide-to-diy-makeup-skin) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
