What’s in This Natural Blush Recipe?
Mineral Makeup Base
Nobody likes a blush that disappears an hour after you apply it. This mineral makeup base will make your blush stick around much longer on your cheeks, and you won’t have to worry about reapplying throughout the day.
Fuchsia Mica Powder
For an added pop of color, Fuchsia Mica Powder does the trick beautifully. This powder provides a gorgeous pink tone that blends seamlessly with the skin. Mica powder is also an excellent alternative to traditional blushes that may contain harsh chemicals and irritants.
Red Iron Oxide
Red Iron Oxide gives the blush its stunning color and is a safe, natural pigment that has been used for centuries.
Fractionated Coconut Oil
This recipe also contains Fractionated Coconut Oil, which binds all the dry ingredients together and is also fantastic for your skin. It is rich in fatty acids and has skin-soothing properties, making it a perfect addition to your everyday makeup routine.
