Duping Huda Beauty’s Anhydrous Eyeliner
Hi! I am trying to dupe Huda Beauty’s Lifeliner liquid eyeliner and I got all the ingredients in the list, but overall the formula just doesn’t work.
For Isododecane + Trimethylsiloxysilicate I use a pre-made mix by Momentive, Hectorite + Propylene carbonate — Isododecane-based Bentone V IDD gel, Caprylyl glycol + Phenoxyethanol + Hexylene Glycol = Jeceed 2.
However, when I mix everything, I either get an extremely dry film that completely falls off my skin (in chunks) when it dries down OR, if I add more dimethicone, it makes my fingers go black when I do a rub test (as if it doesn’t completely set).
What do I do wrong and what type of dimethicone should I use in this case? </font>
So far I like heavier types of demethicones — 60K and 500K, but they still make my fingers go black.
I managed to somehow make the film stain the fingers less — by adding more hectorite gel, but it makes the overall film too dry and eventually falls off in pieces again. Does hectorite cancel out dimethicone?
Please help!
Ingredient list: ISODODECANE, TRIMETHYLSILOXYSILICATE, DIMETHICONE, DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE, SORBITAN TRISTEARATE, PROPYLENE CARBONATE, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, PHENOXYETHANOL, ASCORBYL PALMITATE, HEXYLENE GLYCOL, BHT, IRON OXIDES (CI 77499), BLACK 2 (CI 77266)(NANO).

Have you tried volatile dimethicones like 1.5 cst or 2.0 cst?

Thank you for your reply! I tried 5 cst. Unfortunately, It wouldn’t set as it’s not volatile. I have a totally volatile dimethicone 1 sec (it really evaporates from the skin as soon as you apply it). I guess I’ll give it a try and will let you know.

Preservation seems over the top for an anhydrous product.

I agree, but yet it’s still there.
