How to DIY Your Own Easy Blush From Kitchen Ingredients
In this tutorial, we’re going to show you how to make cream blush. This DIY blush is great for the spring and summer, and it’s the perfect all-in-one.
You can use it as a blush, on your lips, and even as an eyeshadow. Let’s get started!
Tools and materials:
- Soy wax
- Shea butter
- Aloe vera
- Cornstarch
- Beet powder
- Pot/bowl
- Jar/container
1. Add soy wax to a small pot
Add ½-1 teaspoon of soy wax. We love using soy wax over regular wax.
2. Add shea butter
Add 1 teaspoon of shea butter. Shea butter is very moisturizing.
3. Melt the ingredients
The soy wax and shea butter need to be melted. We’re going to melt it over a candle, but you can do this in the microwave or on the stovetop.
4. Mix the rest of the ingredients
Mix 1 tablespoon of aloe vera, ½ teaspoon of cornstarch, and beet powder into a bowl.
Aloe vera is another moisturizing factor like shea butter.
Beet powder will give your blush a rich pinkish color, but there are a lot of different powders you can use to get the color you want.
5. Add everything together
Add the aloe vera mixture to the melted shea butter and soy wax and mix everything until it’s fully melted and mixed.
6. Store and let it cool
You can find a jar, a tube, or even an old blush container to store the mixture in. Leave it to harden.
We left ours for only 20 minutes, but we highly recommend you leave it overnight to completely harden.
7. Test it out
It’ll go on really red at first, but don’t be scared. Just blend it out and it’ll be the perfect shade.
