Make your own mineral-based foundation for your face.
Mineral cosmetics are light, good for your skin and made of natural ingredients. Making your own mineral cosmetics at home provides you with a craft that allows you to take control of your personal skincare and beauty routine. Following directions for making your own mineral powder foundation gives you the ability to formulate your own custom shade that possesses the skin benefits of mineral makeup.
Instructions
1. Add the beige-colored mica mineral and the kaolin clay powder to the low-profile cosmetic jar. Use a plastic, wide-mouthed jar, which can be purchased from any craft and hobby supply shop, as with the other ingredients needed in this recipe.
2. Add the tonal-colored mica powder to the jar. For a tonal color, choose something close to your skin tone. For example, if you have an olive complexion, choose a tan-based color. For dark-colored skin, choose a deep-bronze mica, and for a fair complexion, shades of pink and ivory work well.
3. Secure the lid of the jar and shake it for about a minute. This thoroughly disperses the colored mica powders into a blended color that matches your skin tone. The kaolin clay gives it a silky consistency that provides the makeup with the ability to spread evenly when applied.
