I think back in the 20's or 30'd girls used to light a match, LET IT COOL, and use the burnt end as eyeliner. But I wouldn't do that if you wear contacts. Modern eyeliner is formulated to be safe for use on the eyes for people with contacts.

Get you a tube of whatever color lipstick that you are trying to have as your color and then take a q tip and twist the cotton until it has a small pencil tip like end and line your eyes and you can also double as a lip liner.

You might want to be very careful about making anything homemade to use around your eyes. You'd hate to do something that would make you get an eye infection. Remember, our eyes are our are very delicate & sensitive.

There are certain name brand eye makeup products (ex: eye liner pencils) that I can't use, as everytime I do, I get an eye infection. These are mostly the colored products. Usually black doesn't bother me, but purple, & some browns, do.

This is what I do--inexpensive and lasts a long time:
Get a darkish powder eyeshadow and a good paintbrush with small sable hairs. Wet the shadow with the brush, work it around, and brush the color onto your eyes! Soft looking, too!

I'll bet you could use cake mascara. The mascara is dry and comes in a pallet. You moisten the mascara brush and wipe it into the dry cake. Then use it on your lashes. I think you could get it at Sephora.com.

Maybe you could use this as an eyeliner, although it's not technically 'home made'.

Yes, people used to use candleblack for makeup - That is, they would hold a lighted candle under a plate and collect the black soot to them apply to the eyes, etc. But there is so much good cheap stuff around, why do you want to bother? You can get it at the 99 Cent store! And you can even apply your mascara carefully to your upper lid and blur before it dries, which is very quickly.

You can just take a standard eyeliner brush (or a q-tip) and take the excess product off the tip of a mascara wand and just use that as eyeliner.
