Homemade Natural Cream Blush
The cost of an all natural blushing cream varies, but even the least expensive product featured (100% Pure Pot Rouge Blush at $15) may just be too expensive for frugal shoppers. If you are tempted to make a cream blush at home, have a go at this super fast and easy recipe.
Equipment:
- a makeup brush
- 1/2 teaspoon face cream
- blush color, or cheek toned eye shadow
- a small cosmetic jar
Pour face cream into cosmetic jar. Stroke makeup brush over blush or eye shadow to loosen the pigments; brush pigment color into the cosmetic jar. Mix the face cream with the pigment color. Once you are satisfied with the color, cover the jar and store your new cream blush, or you can use the product right away. If the color is not desirable, keep adding more face cream or shadow color until you are pleased with the result.
In addition to purchasing or making your own non-toxic blushing cream, green consumers can find an extensive range of organic beauty products that work well and are manufactured with the best interests of the environment in mind.
