Make Your Own Blush

Making blush is as easy as making your own face powder. You start with any organic red powder and add cornstarch till it matches the blush of your skin. (I also added pearl powder by smashing up a pearl and putting it in!)

If you are more olive-toned (look best in off-white), add cinnamon, red tea powder, or powder that is cinnamon-colored.

If you are more blueish-toned (look best in white), add berry or beet powder or powder that is blueish pink.

Of course, you can mix blue tones with yellow tones if your tones are mixed.

Only make a little at a time and wash your brushes frequently as there are no preservatives in this recipe. Don't be scared by this advice! At least you are not putting harsh chemicals on your face! Some blogs say to add baking powder to help save it, but other blogs said the baking powder was too harsh on skin. I made the little travel-sized pot above with just cornstarch and beet juice powder, and it lasted me over a month without any problems.
