Hey there, fellow art enthusiasts! Robert Kline here, and today, we’re diving into the vibrant world of natural cosmetics with a fun and easy DIY project: a beetroot lip and cheek stain!
Remember the days of getting lost in aisles of makeup, captivated by promises of flawless beauty? I used to think more was more, but over the years, I’ve realized that what we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in them.
That’s why I’m passionate about natural cosmetics. They’re not just about looking good; they’re about feeling good too!
Why Go Natural?
Here’s the thing: our skin absorbs much of what we apply to it. Conventional cosmetics often contain a cocktail of chemicals, some of which are potential health hazards.
Scary, right?
The good news is, we have a choice! Switching to natural cosmetics means saying no to harsh chemicals and embracing ingredients that are kind to our bodies and the environment. Plus, crafting your own beauty products adds a personal touch that store-bought products just can’t match.
The Cruelty-Free Choice
Another reason I’m passionate about natural cosmetics? Animal testing. Did you know many mainstream brands still test on animals? It’s a heartbreaking reality.
By choosing cruelty-free and natural ingredients, we can create beautiful products without harming our furry friends. It’s a win-win!
Beetroot: The Natural Beauty Booster
Beetroot, that vibrant root vegetable, isn’t just for salads! It’s packed with color, making it perfect for a natural lip and cheek stain.
This simple recipe uses beetroot powder, vegetable glycerin, and jojoba oil to create a delicate, rosy glow that’s perfect for everyday wear.
Let’s Get Crafting!
You Will Need:
- 1 tablespoon organic vegetable glycerin
- 1 teaspoon jojoba oil
- 1 teaspoon beetroot powder
- A small jar with a lid
Instructions:
- In your jar, combine the vegetable glycerin, jojoba oil, and beetroot powder.
- Mix thoroughly until well combined.
That’s it! Easy peasy, right?
Tips for Application:
- Dip a clean makeup brush into your stain and gently dot onto the apples of your cheeks. Blend outwards in circular motions for a natural flush.
- For a longer-lasting look, dust a light layer of translucent powder over the stain.
- You can also dab a small amount onto your lips for a subtle, rosy tint.
