Skippie,
http://www.makingcosmetics.com sells a kit for making your own MMU the only thing you need besides the contents of the kit is a mortal&pestil. That is what I used for my first venture into DIY MMU the kit comes with very explicit instructions.
As far as your second post INMHO get your feet wet with a kit first then you can tweak it to suit you.
HTH

P.S. Is there really such a thing as over kill when it comes to cosmetics? JOKING  |

Mascara recipe from book:

published by: Somerset Cosmetics
Mascara with provitamin B5 for a well conditioned effect
Phase A
1 Tbsp. (15ml) Distilled Water
1 tsp. (5ml) Glycceryl Cocoate
10 drops Glycerin or Sorbitol
Phase B
1 1/2 tsp. (3.6g) Corn Starch
1/2 tsp. (1g) Talc Powder
1/2 tsp. (1g) Black Iorn Oxide Pigment
OR
1/2 tsp. (1g) Brown Iron Oxide Pigment
Phase C
1 tsp. (3.4g) White Bees Wax
1/2 tsp. (1g) Carnuba Wax
1/4 tsp. (0.6g) Gum Arabic
1/4 tsp. (1.3ml) Natural Jojoba
Phase D
5 drops Provitamin B5
2 drops Paraben-DU
Method (gives 1-2 mascara of 1/3 fl oz. or 10 ml each)
1. Combine the ingredients of Phase A in a heat resistant glass jar and stir well.
2. Add the ingredients of Phase B to Phase A, stir well, and heat this mixture to a maximum of 170 F (77C) by placing it in a hot water bath.
3. During that time combine the ingredients of Phase C in another heat resistant glass jar and heat it also up to 170 F (77C) to melt the mixture slowly.
4. Add now Phase C to Phase A/B mixture and stir until it becomes homogenous.
5. Finally, add Phase D and stir well.
Note to fill mixture into the mascara container, aspirate the still warm liquid into a medical syringe and inject the liquid carefully into container.
I hope this is OK to post as I noted the Author and Publisher, if not I am sorry. Let me know.
I hope this helps
