If you’re looking for an all-natural, more sustainable option for blush to put in your makeup bag, look no further. We LOVE this recipe and have found that this DIY Blush is just as good as the kind you can buy at the store, if not better. After all, you can’t change the color of store bought blush depending on the season, right?
Ingredients
- Arrowroot powder
- Hibiscus Flower Powder
- Beet Root Powder
- Opt. Mica Powders

In a small bowl or cup, add desired amount of arrowroot powder, hibiscus flower powder, and beet root powder. Stir carefully.
(Optional)Next, add mica powder and mix into powders carefully.
Then, if desired color has been reached, add the mixture to a tin or jar and seal.
