Homeade Translucent Powder

You can buy the very popular Translucent Powder anywhere from MAC (my favorite) or BareEssentials, OR for about .05 cents worth of ingredients that you probably already have in your cupboards right now, you can make your own! I know I'm shocked as well! I found this on chiselbeauty.com

I’m personally pretty excited about this because I have always used some type of translucent powder and the prices can be ridiculous! But it really does put the “finishing” touch” on your whole makeup application…so I’ve always “bit the bullet” and “paid the price for beauty”.

Some of the other benefits of using a “finishing” powder include:

-Minimizes pores and fine lines.

-Absorbs oils to keep your skin looking fresh and clean

-Prolongs wear of Foundation.

-Can also be worn on bare skin for a fresh, feather-light finish

-Works beautifully for all skin tones and types

Here is her recipe/formula:

1/2 Tablespoon Cornstarch

1 Teaspoon Baby Powder (talc)

Optional: 1/8 Teaspoon Powder Foundation ( if you want to add a touch of color)

Stir all ingredients together and store in a used (and washed) powder container or a mint tin. Apply with powder brush.
