Liquid blush is one of the makeup industry's best inventions, as it can be easily blended for a natural look and lasts far longer, both on your face and in the bottle, than traditional powdered blushes. If you would like to try a liquid blush, but don't want to waste your current powder, you can transform it into a liquid version with just a few simple steps.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Lotion
  • Butter knife
  • Powdered blush
  • Small container with tight fitting lid
  1. Step 1

    Choose a lotion that will be the base of your liquid blush makeup. While any lotion will do, you might enjoy the subtle fragrance of a scented lotion, or can even use sunscreen to help protect your skin. Make sure that your lotion is right for your skin tone and will not cause irritation.

  2. Step 2

    Place 1 tbsp. of your chosen lotion in a small dish and then using a butter knife, carefully scrape some of your powdered blush into the lotion. Add a little bit of powder at a time and then stir thoroughly.

  3. Step 3

    Test your blush on the back of your hand, working the liquid blush into the skin until completely absorbed. If you prefer a darker blush, add a bit more powder to the lotion. If you would like a lighter tone, add more lotion. Continue the process until you have found your perfect liquid blush color to complement your skin tone and other makeup.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer your new liquid blush to a small container with a tight fitting lid. Apply a little bit to your cheeks at a time, working the lotion and blush powder mixture into your skin with circular motions. Add a bit more if necessary, and enjoy the natural and long lasting look of your new makeup.
