Looking for an easy to make natural loose powder recipe?
It's true that commercial foundations are full of chemicals...
Result, tight skin and allergies are never far away!
Not to mention their price, simply exorbitant!
Luckily, I searched and found a great 100% natural homemade powder foundation recipe.
Don't worry, it's super easy to make and you probably already have all the ingredients at home. Watch:
- 30 g of cornstarch powder
- Van Houten type cocoa powder
- organic cinnamon
- organic nutmeg
- bowl in glass, ceramic or wood
- wooden spoon
- makeup powder box
1. Put the cornstarch in a small bowl.
2. Add 1/4 teaspoon of chocolate.
3. Mix slowly with a wooden spoon.
4. Add the other colors (cinnamon, nutmeg), 1/4 teaspoon at a time to find the right shade.
5. Mix well.
6. Put in a small box that closes.
7. Apply with a large makeup brush.
And There you go ! Your powder foundation is already ready :-)
Easy, fast and economical, right?
Healthy and healthy-looking make-up is yours!
All this without chemicals in it.
For colors, mix these 3 ingredients according to your skin tone:
- Cocoa powder:everyone has it in their cupboards and it smells super good.
- Cinnamon:there is cassia or Ceylon cinnamon. Be careful, Ceylon contains essential oil and can irritate sensitive skin. I therefore prefer to use cassia cinnamon to limit the risks.
- Nutmeg:Nutmeg has the darkest tone of the three listed tones. But mixed with cocoa and cinnamon, it gives a nice color.
- For those who want to tint their loose powder a little more, you can add a touch of pink or orange ocher, or even turmeric. Sun effect guaranteed!
- Finally, to reduce the redness on the cheeks, I add a 1/2 teaspoon of green clay. Indeed, green neutralizes red and will mask redness.
- Don't forget to write down the mix you made so you can easily redo it. Depending on the season, you can even darken or lighten the powder a little.
- For the base, you can also use arrowroot powder because it is really very white and very covering. It allows you to make a luminous base to which you will add color.
- Arrowroot powder can also be replaced with cornstarch or rice bran powder. This has a creamier color than arrowroot powder and is more suitable for dry skin as it does not absorb moisture.
- If you have oily skin, add white clay (half and half with arrowroot) which will naturally absorb sebum and mattify the face.
The white base will have the same covering effect as commercial powders.
Cinnamon and chocolate add a delicate and natural color to your makeup.
Finally, you can perfectly cover your imperfections and "cheat" as with commercial powders by using green clay against redness, or white clay to mattify the skin.
