Really Big Solid Mineral Makeup Concealer
Sick of
running out of concealer? It seems like the first thing
you run out of every month. Well here's one that guaranteed
to last for many months. Make enough to put one in each
handbag too!
Ingredients: (easy)
1 part
Carnauba Wax
3-4 parts Jojoba Oil
Mineral Makeup Concealer Base (quick recipe below)
Drops of essential oil (optional)
Tubes
Mineral
Makeup Concealer Base (make a shade lighter than your
Foundation shade)
3 parts Serecite Mica or Silk Mica
1 part Zinc Oxide or Micronized Titanium Dioxide
1 part Magnesium Stearate
Pinches of Iron Oxides in a combination of brown, yellow, red, blue to
achieve your desired shade.
Blend these ingredients in your coffee grinder or Magic Bullet.
Directions:
Make your
mineral foundation recipe a shade or two lighter than normal and set aside.
In a glass measuring cup melt the wax and heat until melted. Add the jojoba
oil and reheat.
Stir in some of the concealer base and stir until incorporated. Reheat if
necessary until nice
and smooth. Let cool in the measuring cup and test the opacity of the
concealer. Add more
concealer base if necessary. Now check the slip to be sure it's not too
hard. If it is, add a
little more jojoba and add your essential if you wish - reheat and pour into
your tube.
