DIY Finishing Powder
I ♥ ♥ ♥ (times 12!!) mineral makeup! I’ve been using it religiously since the early ’00s. My fave mineral makeup product is finishing powder/mineral veil – it sets my makeup and gives me a “photoshopped” finished look (think soft focus camera lens or one of those flattering Instagram filters). 😉 Finishing powders ain’t cheap, yo – take a peek! Makeup companies charge mad chaddah for this simple beauty product which you can totes make at home using ingredients from your kitchen.
What you’ll need:
- Arrowroot powder (or corn starch)
- Cocoa or cinnamon (the amount will vary based on your skin tone)
- An old (but clean) mineral foundation sifter/container
In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder with a small amount of cocoa or cinnamon. Just keep adding a little more at a time until you get your desired shade. Whisk your ingredients really well, and then pour into your old makeup container. Voila! You just saved yourself $20-50! Go buy a pair of vegan heels with that $! 😉

So is it cocoa powder for cool undertones and cinnamon for warm? 😀
What brand is the arrowroot powder shown in the photo?
I have been hunting high and low for a powder and kept being disgusted by the prices…. I realize this is an old post by THANK GOODNESS I found it today!!! I’m super excited to try this the minute I get home!!
Yay! I hope you love it. 🙂 xx
Thanks for the recipe ! I’ll try it out
Could you use this recipe to make foundation as well?
For sure!
So cool! I have yellow tones so I wonder if a little turmeric would do the trick. Must try this. Thanks for posting.
