DIY Blush

Hello Everyone! <3

I'm always looking for Do It Yourself recipes.. So today i came across a DIY blush. I haven't tried this yet but i plan on it.. I was thinking you can also buy Mica Powder and try it with that instead of food coloring.

DIY BLUSH

Materials

• *water
• *baby powder (buy it from the dollar store.....)
• *red food coloring
• -1-2 drops for light pink
• -3-4 drops for medium pink
• -5-6 drops for red/dark pink

In a bowl, mix your desired amount of food coloring with 3 tablespoons of water. Next, squirt baby powder in, 1-2 teaspoons at a time, and mix until smooth. Continue to add baby powder until the consistency of the mix is almost that of a soft clay and it is no longer all together, but breaks up easily into several pieces. Now, using your fingers, pat the mixture into an empty make-up container (I had one already empty from an old blush) until filled.

Ready to be stored!

To use: You can use it right away, but for best results, allow the mixture to air dry, then press a make-up sponge into the blush and apply to your cheekbones, blending until smooth.

If you feel creative, try mixing in a little yellow for a peachy color or a tiny bit of blue for a bit of a purple hue.
*Note: The color of the blush is MUCH darker wet than dry, so don't be worried if it looks red when you mix it.



UPDATE!
Thought I'd add some extra pictures with their corresponding recipes to help you figure out what works best for you and give you a better idea of how it turns out when finished (since the color is so much lighter dried than wet).
