This DIY has been asked about several times on my Instagram @twoswallowsnaturals and comes to you from Pinterest, where most of my inspiration, or should I say PINspiration, comes from.
A few weeks ago, I was seriously running out of translucent setting powder. Since this is one of the only 3 things I wear on my face when I do my makeup, it's pretty essential. I'm extremely pale, like I buy the fairest makeup there is, so I needed to alter this recipe a tad. Here are the ingredients you will need:
- 1/4 cup Arrowroot Powder - I found mine at Whole Foods
- 4 T Cocoa Powder
- 1 t Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 t Ground Nutmeg
- 1/4 t Ground Ginger
- 2 t Bentonite Clay - Bulk Apothecary is great for this
- 10 drops Vitamin E Liquid - Whole Foods
- 12 drops Lavender Essential Oil - dōTERRA or your favorite Pure Therapeutic Grade brand
Start with the Arrowroot Powder in a large bowl. Continue to add ingredients modifying to fit your skin tone. Whisk together. For more of an olive tone, add more nutmeg and/or ginger. For a paler complexion, cut down the Cocoa Powder or add more Arrowroot Powder.
I found a small container to store my powder in at Meijer in the bath travel section so I cut the recipe in half so everything would fit. I'm also not a huge fan of Lavender's scent, but I added a few drops. The powder smells great on its own between the spices and cocoa powder!
