Top 5 DIY Makeup Recipes for a Natural Look

#1. Natural Foundation

To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: [easyazon_link identifier=”B00L4KYA9C” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]zinc oxide[/easyazon_link], [easyazon_link identifier=”B00ZDO82VM” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]arrowroot powder[/easyazon_link] (optional), [easyazon_link identifier=”B013WAKZBS” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]natural clay powder[/easyazon_link], [easyazon_link identifier=”B0040E8WMK” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]gold mica dust[/easyazon_link], and [easyazon_link identifier=”B000DZE0XK” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]ground cocoa powder[/easyazon_link]. If you have oily skin, you should also add [easyazon_link identifier=”B01LW5MC19″ locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]translucent mica powder[/easyazon_link]. Combine all these ingredients until you obtain your desired color as well as coverage. Zinc oxide is great for coverage and a matte finish. Color comes from natural clays, mica powder, and cocoa powder. When you add the elements, do it slowly, constantly testing the mix on your inner arm. Store this natural foundation in a jar.

#2. Berry Lip Stain

All berries can stain. So, why not use their coloring properties for a DIY makeup? To prepare it, just mix five raspberries with five blackberries and one tablespoon of olive oil. Mash the fruits before using them. Keep it in a small jar and apply it on your lips to achieve a natural rosy hint. It is a great option due to these ingredient’s content. They are full of minerals, nutrients, and antioxidants. Therefore, your lips will be healthy and nourished at all times.

#3. Natural Blush Recipe

This is a simple DIY makeup recipe that required only three ingredients: [easyazon_link identifier=”B00EKLPLU4″ locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]organic cocoa powder[/easyazon_link], [easyazon_link identifier=”B00ZDO82VM” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]arrowroot powder[/easyazon_link], and [easyazon_link identifier=”B00ZQ61DCW” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]hibiscus powder[/easyazon_link]. Use them in small amounts: one half of teaspoon of each element. Also, you will need an air-tight container to store the mix. Feel free to experiment with different shades and quantities, to find out which combination works best for you. For the best results, start with arrowroot powder and continue darkening it as well as testing the combination on your inner arm.

#4. DIY Makeup – Eye Liner & Shadow

Your eyes area is very sensitive. So, you should be extremely careful with what products you use on that area, even if they contain only natural ingredients. For a great eyeshadow, you should combine [easyazon_link identifier=”B00HES9CMS” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]cocoa powder[/easyazon_link] with [easyazon_link identifier=”B00H898MUG” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]arrowroot[/easyazon_link] and [easyazon_link identifier=”B0039ITKR4″ locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]spirulina[/easyazon_link]. This way, you will achieve a three-color combination: brown, green and lighter shades. To prepare a natural eye liner, use a small amount of [easyazon_link identifier=”B00CEOOZK6″ locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]cocoa powder[/easyazon_link] and blend it with [easyazon_link identifier=”B00CPZPYLS” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]coconut oil[/easyazon_link]. Another alternative is to the combination of activated charcoal with shea butter.

#5. Natural Mascara

Use a small bowl to mix the following ingredients: a couple of[easyazon_link identifier=”B00Z8VULLE” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]Aloe Vera gel drops[/easyazon_link], [easyazon_link identifier=”B00CHTX1AS” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]vitamin E oil[/easyazon_link], and just a pinch of [easyazon_link identifier=”B01AMBLL5Y” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]activated charcoal[/easyazon_link]. Before every application, you need to mix the combination up and use a clean mascara wand. I personally keep this natural mascara in a small jar, but a clean mascara container works just as well.

Wrapping It Up

Although cosmetics are quite important for women, you should start using natural ones instead of purchased beauty products that are full of chemicals. This way, your face will stay younger and fresher for a longer time. All the above DIY makeup recipes are simple, quick, and easy to make. Moreover, they are effective, and you will obtain a glossy yet natural look.
