Sheer Mineral Makeup Powder

Create your own Mineral Makeup

 

Recipe 1: Sheer Mineral Powder Warm Beige

 

This will make 30 grams by weight or the equivalent to 6 x 10 gram powder jars. We suggest our powder pots with sponges to best avoid inhaling loose particles when applying the powder.

 

This recipe is for loose mineral makeup using your own iron oxides rather than a pre-blended base. Micas help give your skin a healthy glow.

 

You can use a mortar and pestle to mix and grind the ingredients or an electric mixer. We also sell a small hand blender that may be used. I have found the best mixers for small amounts are electric coffee grinders. They have enough power to truly mix the powders.
