1. How to make lip tint
Start with 2 fresh raspberries and 1 blackberry in a small bowl.

Mash it together with the back of a spoon, and put it in your fridge.
Once it has infused, and the colors have come together, apply the lip tint with a small lip brush
2. DIY foundation
Put 2 tablespoons of cacao powder into a small bowl.
Add 2 teaspoons of zinc oxide powder to provide sun protection.
Add a ½ teaspoon of bentonite clay.
As you are mixing the dry ingredients, begin squirting in some moisturizer, a little at a time.
Continue adding moisturizer and stirring until you have a cream foundation consistency.
Apply the foundation to your face using a makeup sponge.
It looks a bit darker than you’d expect when you first apply it, but that evens out as you blend it in.
3. DIY concealer
Mix 1 tablespoon of shea butter, 2 teaspoons of aloe vera gel, and 1 teaspoon of zinc oxide.
Sprinkle up to ½ teaspoon of cacao powder in to tint the concealer.
Mix it all together, so it’s not too powdery.
Apply the concealer with a small makeup brush.
4. DIY setting powder
Simply mix 1 teaspoon of baby powder and a ½ teaspoon of cornstarch in a small bowl.
Apply the setting powder with a makeup sponge.
5. Time for eyeshadow
Start your eyeshadow with a ½ of arrowroot powder.
Then, depending on the shade of eyeshadow you want, you can add in some cacao powder, nutmeg, or beet powder.
Then add 1 teaspoon of shea butter.
Mix the eye shadow together and apply with a makeup brush.
6. DIY eyeliner
Open 4 activated charcoal capsules and dump the contents into a small bowl.
Use an eyeliner brush to apply the activated charcoal.
7. Make your own mascara
DIY mascara begins with a ½ teaspoon of beeswax pellets, melted with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil.
You can use a candle to help you melt the beeswax.
Add in 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel, and the contents of 4 activated charcoal capsules.
Transfer the mixture to a small glass jar, and let it cool down and harden.
Apply it with a mascara wand.
8. DIY bronzer
You can make a lighter bronzer to use all over your face, or you can make your bronzer darker for contouring.
For an all over bronzer, mix 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
Apply the bronzer with a medium-sized makeup brush.
Then use a large, fluffy makeup brush to blend it in.
9. Make your own blush
Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of beet powder.
Depending on the color you want for your blush, you can add more beet powder, a little at a time.
Apply your DIY blush with a makeup brush.
10. Don’t forget your eyebrows
Make an eyebrow powder using 1½ teaspoons of almond oil, 2½ teaspoons of cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.
Mix it together and apply it with an eyebrow brush.
