I don't know about you, but I love it homemade makeup.
Today, I'm going to show you one of my favorite makeup recipes.
It is also one of the easiest and smartest...
I named the easy homemade blush recipe !
And above all, this recipe will only cost you a few cents...
...or even just 1 penny depending on the ingredients you already have at home.
And don't worry, it's easy to do. Watch:
On the left you can see my normal store-bought blush. And on the right, my homemade blush.
Once applied, the two have almost the same color !
To give yourself a little beauty, you no longer need to buy blush in stores!
My homemade blush will highlight your cheekbones. It is easy to apply and immediately gives a healthy glow.
- water
- baby powder
- red food coloring (liquid)
- an empty make-up container
1. In a bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of water with the desired amount of food coloring:
- 1 to 2 drops to make pale pink
- 3 to 4 drops to make hot pink
- 5-6 drops to make dark pink/red
2. Add the talc, 1-2 teaspoons at a time, and stir until smooth.
3. Keep adding talc until you get the consistency of soft clay. The mixture should be crumbly and easily crumble into small pieces, as in the image above.
4. Using your fingers, pat the mixture into an empty makeup case until it is full.
There you go, you now know how to make your homemade blush :-)
Easy and quick to make, right?
You see, preparing your homemade makeup is not that complicated!
And above all, it's much more economical than buying your blush at Sephora!
This homemade blush only cost you pennies to make. Who says better?
You can use this homemade blush right away, but for best results, let your mixture air dry first.
The blush is applied with a makeup brush on the cheekbones, smiling slightly, and ends with small touches on the temple.
The advantage of this recipe is that the color combinations you can make are endless .
Try adding a bit of yellow to get a beautiful apricot complexion or a few drops of blue for a blush with purple notes .
Note: when wet, homemade blush is MUCH darker in color than when dry! So don't panic if your mixture is too red during preparation.
By the way, here are some photos with my different color mixtures and their corresponding recipes.
They will help you find the ideal shade and also give you a better idea of the finished homemade blush.
As you can see, the color of homemade blush when dry is really lighter than when still wet.
Here is a picture of my blushes right after mixing them. See how dark they are?
And now look at the difference after letting them dry for about 8 hours:
Here is the exact recipe for each of the colors in the photo above:
Blue spoon
- 8 drops of red
- 6 cl of water
- Add baby powder (until the consistency of a paste)
Pink spoon
- 6 drops of red
- 6 cl of water
- Add baby powder (until the consistency of a paste)
Yellow spoon

- 6 cl of water

From right to left:pink spoon, green spoon, blue spoon and yellow spoon.
Last tip: do a test on the hand a few hours before applying your homemade blush on the face, in order to avoid an unpleasant surprise in the event of an allergic reaction.
Likewise, to store your homemade blush, always use a clean, dry container.
