The way to Make Cream Blush (Plus Bronzer)

I’ve been experimenting with selfmade make-up for years, from DIY concealer and highlighter to lip balm to mascara. I’ve a powder blush I really like that works nicely, however I’ve gotten requests for a cream blush choice. After nailing a liquid basis recipe, I made a decision to work on a creamy formulation blush too.

You possibly can customise this cream blush to your pores and skin tone for a buildable tint. You probably have hotter undertones, then use a little bit extra cocoa powder or warmer-toned pigments. I’ve included directions for the pigment quantities I take advantage of, however you’ll be able to tweak it to your preferences.

Cream Blush

A variety of cream blush in the marketplace makes use of components like dimethicone, silica, purple 6, and different components I’m not thrilled with. Whereas extra firms now make non-toxic choices, it’s normally cheaper to make your personal!

Cream blush has extra endurance and will be a lot bolder and extra versatile than powder blush. A little bit goes a good distance. I additionally use a small quantity to darken my pure basis if I must through the summer season.

Relying on the components used your blush can have a matte or dewy end. The cocoa powder helps the blush cream formulation have a hotter tone and the mica provides colour and a glowy sparkle.

Components For the Greatest Blush

There are two choices for this recipe. One makes use of a pre-made lotion, whereas the opposite is a DIY liquid base.

  1. For a less complicated model, use a pure pre-made lotion for the bottom and add colours and pigments as wanted.
  2. The DIY base takes a little bit extra time and 5 components however permits extra customization because you’re making the bottom lotion your self.

When you’re making your personal blush base you then’ll want shea butter, aloe vera gel, and emulsifying wax. Beeswax received’t work right here as a result of we’d like the emulsifying wax to mix the water and oil-soluble components. The fundamental components are the identical as my liquid basis recipe.

The aloe vera is hydrating and the shea butter is nourishing for dry pores and skin. You too can add a little bit vitamin E oil for antioxidants and to increase the shelf life. Whereas I really like contemporary aloe vera, it has a really brief shelf life in DIY skincare recipes. Utilizing a premade and naturally preserved aloe vera gel works finest right here.

Customise Your Cream Blush Shade

This DIY begins off with both cocoa powder or pure mineral make-up for colorant. You possibly can then add mica powder for additional pigment. I used a mix of a deep berry and a brilliant pink. You might even add a little bit bronze or mauve mica to the combination for a extra complicated colour palette.

Begin out with just a bit bit and add extra till you get the colour you need. I included the precise quantities I used within the recipe beneath, however you’ll be able to add roughly relying in your preferences. The extra pigment you add the stronger and bolder the colour shall be.

  • Use 1/4 to 1 teaspoon cocoa powder AND 1/2 to 1 teaspoon mica powder.
  • OR use 1-2 teaspoons of pure mineral powder in your colour of alternative

It’s tough to discover a powdered blush with out titanium dioxide, which will be poisonous if inhaled as a powder. As soon as it’s combined right into a basis or cream blush it doesn’t appear to have the identical toxicity issues. When you don’t have a powdered blush you already like, then use the cocoa powder and mica choice as an alternative. Plant-based pigments like floor beetroot yield a gritty product that doesn’t give pores and skin a lot colour.

The way to Apply It

I usually use a blush brush to use this however you’ll be able to simply use your fingers. You’ll need to dab a little bit in your cheekbones after which rub it up in direction of your temples in small circles. The precise placement will depend on your face form and coloring.

You probably have a extremely dry pores and skin kind, it’s possible you’ll want to use moisturizer or primer to your face first. I discover the shea butter offers this a creamy and moisturizing really feel that works nicely over basis.
