How to Make Foundation Make-Up From Natural Products

I prefer all natural products, especially on my body. With all the chemicals in make-up that are being said and proven to cause cancer, increase signs of aging and destroy our environment I started to research how to make all natural make-up. I know that there are companies out there that make it. But most are costly to buy. Hope this helps with your complexion and wallet.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 25ml Aloe Vera Gel (non-thickened)
• 50ml Face Rich Oil Blend or Jojoba Oil
• 1/2tsp. Soy Wax Blend (jojoba, rice bran & soy wax)
• 1/2tsp. Beeswax
• 10ml Skin Care Complex
• 25ml Rosewater (or other floral water) ~I prefered the Rosewater
• 6 level tsp. Concealer Powder Base (organic corn starch, chicory root extract, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, calcium carbonate, white clay)

   Will last approximately 6 months. Keep in a cool dark place. If refrigerated should last 1 year.
   
   ** You can add more colour base to achieve a darker shade of foundation. You can also add more Concealer powder blend if coverage is not adequate, or if you want to create a matte look.
