Making blush at home is simple and allows you to customize the color and ingredients! Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:
DIY Blush Recipe
This recipe utilizes natural ingredients to create a powder blush.
Ingredients:
- Kaolin Clay (provides a smooth base)
- Pink Sweet Potato Powder (for natural pink color)
- Cocoa Powder (for deepening the color and adding warmth)
- Rose Petals Powder (optional, for added fragrance and color)
Instructions:
- Mix the Base: In a clean bowl, combine the kaolin clay, pink sweet potato powder, cocoa powder, and rose petals powder (if using). Start with small amounts of the colored powders, as you can always add more.
- Blend Thoroughly: Use a spoon or small whisk to blend the powders together until they are evenly distributed and you achieve your desired color.
- Adjust the Color: For a darker blush, add a little more cocoa powder. For a pinker blush, add more pink sweet potato powder.
- Test the Color: Swatch the blush on your hand or cheek to ensure you like the color.
- Store Properly: Store the finished blush in a clean, airtight container, such as a glass jar or a reusable blush container.
This homemade blush is a fantastic way to control the ingredients you put on your skin and achieve a custom color that perfectly complements your complexion.
