1) What you will need:
- Any brown colored eye shadows (Preferably matte)
- Petroleum jelly
- Scraping/mixing tool (I used a plastic knife)
- Disposable plate or container to mix it in
2) The science part
- First; Scrape out as much color as might need into our container or plate.
I scraped out all of the darker brown from the Wet N Wild palette then scraped half of that amount of the NYC color into my container
- Second; Add 3 times the amount of petroleum jelly to the crushed pigments
- Third; Mix together until it is the consistency of melted chocolate
~Disclaimer, this part is almost entirely up to you depending on the kind of texture that you want. You can add more or less petroleum jelly and/or pigment as you please~
3) Get dirty
- Apply it anywhere!
Apply thin coats and layer to get an opaque result. I used a stipple sponge for this example. Using a setting powder or spray will make your dirt last longer on your skin.
That’s basically it! It is not the best homemade dirt formula out there, but this is what I use when I want to look like I’ve been rolling around in mud and killing walkers.
Hope this helps!
Solas: So... you found me at last. I suspect you have questions.
Me:
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.
P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3
EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings
EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.
