Blushing beautifully: A recipe for cherubic cheeks
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under DIY, bargain, blush, face, recipe, wedding
This morning I was getting ready for my day with a simple, clean daytime look and, even in my enormous collection of blushes and cheek tints, that I didn’t have that “just right” color to set off my clean eye makeup including simple almost-black liquid liner, perfectly groomed brows and neutral lids.
Well I found the right color — Face Atlier’s Perfect Blush in Pink Satin — but in a powder, which, for me, don’t last through the day. In fact, I’m lucky to make it to lunch without looking sallow and sad. To top it off, I’m one of those people who doesn’t like to touch-up.
My solution: craft my own long-lasting cheek tint!
Into the lid of a leftover mineral makeup sample (I get lots of those), I added about 1/8 teaspoon of plain glycerine. Then, using a sterilized metal nail file, I scraped a little of my lovely Face Atelier blush into the glyercine. If I was to guess, I’d say I all in all, I ended up with a little over a “dash” of blush powder. BTW, in cooking terms a dash is a little more than 1/16 teaspoon and less than 1/8.
