10 Makeup items you can make yourself with natural ingredients to enhance your beauty

Brazil is among the 5 countries that most consume beauty and hygiene products in the world. Consumers are increasingly looking for quality cosmetics that meet the most different biotypes and with added value. In view of this, the demand for products free of potentially carcinogenic substances and not tested on animals is growing. THE youtuber Nátaly Neri has more than half a million subscribers on her channel. She is an advocate of ecologically correct products, encourages the use of makeup made with natural ingredients and even gives several genius tips on how to make them at home.

O awesome.club shows that culinary ingredients can be turned into 10 makeup items that will enhance your beauty even more. And in the end, we still present a bonus for you to enjoy.

There are several brands and options for colors, scents and textures and, whatever the color, using lipstick makes all the difference in makeup.

Many women are concerned not only with the appearance of the lipstick, but also take into account the quality of the product, considering its substances and the conditions under which it was produced, such as, for example, if it is lead-free, hypoallergenic and not tested on animals.

A lipstick that meets all these requirements mentioned above is the beetroot lipstick, which can be made at home (learn how here), giving the lips a natural look and moisturizing while coloring the skin.

After the foundation, the concealer appears to soften dark circles and blemishes that are still apparent on the face. It is possible to make the concealer at home (check out how here) and, believe me, one of its ingredients is a product used in your recipes in the kitchen: it is cornstarch, which, in makeup, leaves the skin with a less oily appearance.

When bronzer is applied, the skin takes on a more tanned appearance, as if it has been sunbathing. And you can make your own bronzer, customizing it to your desired shade. Just dose the amount of cocoa and cinnamon powder (see the homemade bronzer step by step here). In addition to giving a more tanned appearance, this preparation can also be used to enhance the contours of the face.

And for those people who can’t go without a bright effect, just add iron oxide or mica to the powder mix.

Basically, you make your own makeup using food. Cocoa powder and cornstarch, once again, appear to compose eyeshadows in earthy or bronze tones.

For shadows with purplish undertones, dab a little blackberry extract onto the lids.

These makeups mentioned above, in addition to being used as shadows, can also serve as blush🇧🇷

If you prefer pink tones, opt for beetroot, cutting parts of the vegetable and applying them with your fingertips on the apples of your cheeks. Toilet paper can be used to eliminate excess and give a more natural look.

In addition to beetroot, you can experiment with other shades of blush using ginger, turmeric, spirulina or paprika, depending on the color you want to achieve.

Each skin has its particularity, and that’s what makes us unique. In this sense, you can create your own compact powder with the ideal tone for your skin. For lighter tones, arrowroot flour or cornstarch can be used. As we saw earlier, cocoa and cinnamon are true “wildcards” in natural makeup, and you can experiment with combining them to create darker tones.

In addition to these ingredients mentioned to produce the powder, clay, in its various colors, nutmeg and saffron can also be used to achieve the desired skin tone.

For liquid foundation, simply add the powder mixture created to a white moisturizer of your choice.

Undoubtedly, eyeliner enhances the look, being an important item in makeup. Because it is applied close to the eye, attention should be paid to choosing a safe product with less chance of allergy.

An eyeliner option with natural ingredients, which can even be produced at home, uses charcoal and coconut oil (check out how to make it here).

To enhance the look even more, mix blackberry extract with spirulina and use the mascara brush to shape the lashes.

Even though makeup is made from natural ingredients, makeup can last longer with the use of fixatives.

These products, when they are also natural, have the advantage of not clogging the pores of the skin and can be made at home (see how to prepare here), with a mixture of water, glycerin and rose water (optional).

The skin of the lips is thin, delicate and, in order for it to have a more uniform texture and not dry out, lip balm is essential.

Therefore, it is recommended to use it every day, to keep your lips always hydrated. And a tip for you to have the product in the ideal quantities for your consumption is to produce it at home, in a very simple and economical way (check it out here), with a pleasant texture and aroma. Just imagine the combination of raw cocoa butter, vanilla and cinnamon in a lip balm (just not worth eating).

Washing your face with water alone is not enough to remove all impurities. In this sense, it is necessary to clean the skin with makeup removers to prevent makeup remains from accumulating, causing dermatitis and inflammation, such as acne.

The biphasic mixture of water and coconut oil can be an excellent alternative to remove makeup, even if it is waterproof.

Exfoliation collaborates to make our skin smoother and ready to receive hydration, in addition to renewing it. There are several homemade exfoliation recipes: coffee grounds mixed with grape seed oil is indicated for any type of skin and exfoliates while moisturizing, being a less aggressive alternative.
