Loose Mineral Powder Concealer
Phase I

1 part Micronized Titanium Dioxide
1 part Serecite Mica- Matt
½ part Magnesium Stearate

Phase II

Drops of Jojoba Oil
Drops of any essential oil (for scent)
Drops of Vitamin E

Phase III

1/8 part Yellow Iron Oxide with dashes of light red or orange to achieve a pail flesh tone
or to match the color of your skin tone. (Add more if needed to achieve the desired shade).

Combine all ingredients from Phase I in either a mortar & pestle or The Magic Bullet™. Blend, slowly adding the ingredients from Phase III to achieve the color desired. Mix well. Add the ingredients from Phase II last to your mortar & pestle or remove from your Magic Bullet and then add them. We've found the Magic Bullet™ to work great and really blend all the colors without leaving any clumps. The Magic Bullet can be purchased at local shops & Walgreen's Pharmacy.

To make a liquid concealer, add the loose mineral powder concealer to you favorite face cream.

Which Ingredient

2007-10-29T06:51:00.000-07:00

The problem with finding free mineral make-up recipes on the internet are the following (if you can find any):

1)The recipes contain Talc or filler ingredients not suitable for 100% mineral make-up.

2) Websites that publish recipies are vague on ingredients use or the the method is a "pinch of this, or a cup of that, or a spoon of this".

I would like to see exact measuremnts in grams or oz being used.

3) The ingredients named in the recipe reflect to the supplier name ie, 1 x tbls Diamond cluster.
Is this diamond cluster a mica, an iron oxide, or a blend, or a standard ingredient used all over the world.

4) No photo of final product available so I can see if I like this colour before I start making this.
