A Basic Mineral Makeup Recipe

I've you would like to have a fun project for birthday parties or to just save money, here is a recipe to create your own mineral makeup.

This recipe will make enough makeup to fill a 30 gram jar at least three to four times over.

What you will need:

3 Tablespoons of Titanium Dioxide

2 1/2 Teaspoons of Zinc Oxide

2 1/2 Teaspoons of Iron oxide pigment color of your choice(Start with small amounts and build to achieve the desired shade)

2 1/2 Teaspoons of Mica (choose either shimmer or plain)
(Choose the pearl mica if you want a shimmer to your
shadow, or the matte mica if you want a low luster)

A blender or mortar and pestle
(A coffee grinder can also be used, but please reserve it just for cosmetics)

4 - 5 makeup sifter jars - 30 gram size

Mix the titanium and zinc oxide together in a large bowl or mortar. Slowly add the iron oxide pigments until you have the desired color you are looking for.

An example would be to mix red oxide and yellow oxide to get anywhere from a peach to a bright orange color, depending on how much pigment you add to your mixture.

If you go too dark with your color and wish to lighten it, add more titanium dioxide.

The key is to completely blend your pigments together.

Transfer your finished product into your sifter jars.

Apply with a makeup brush.

All colors can be used for eyeliner, blush, nail polish and lip color as well, with blue and green being the only exception. Regulations prohibit the use of blue and green on your lip area.
