DIY Beauty Recipe # 2



DIY Beauty Recipe # 2 is for Homemade Foundation. Yes you read it right…Homemade Foundation. Now, you can make foundation at home with natural stuff and say goodbye to harsh chemicals. 


Foundation is a bit tricky as its a makeup that you will end up applying on your face for few hours at least. It needs to go on well, stay put, match skin tones and not clog your pores. So, now you see how challenging it is. But once you get the hang of it and master this art of homemade makeup it will be easy. 





Another few points to remember:

  1. Its not like 2+3 = 5. You need to experiment with ingredients a bit to work out a color that matches your skin tone.
  2. Its organic. We will use all organic stuff.
  3. Just because its natural, doesn't mean that its perfect.

Now lets move on to ingredients. 

List of Ingredients:

For the Base:
  • Arrowroot Powder
Add one or a combination of:
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • Jojoba, Olive or Almond Oil (Optional)

Recipe:

  1. Start with a base of Arrowroot Powder. One teaspoon for dark skin and one tablespoon for lighter skin.
  2. Add in small measures of cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg. It takes a little bit of experimentation and learning as to what tone you want to achieve.
  3. Add some oils (as mentioned above) to get more of a compact foundation rather than powdery. Start with 5 drops and keep pressing the powder till you achieve the desired texture.
Use a brush to apply foundation. Make sure to tap off the excess before applying.

Its a bit tricky but with patience and experience you will know. I hope this article helps you.
