Simple Homemade Blush Powder
Arrowroot powder (like this)
Beet powder (homemade or this)
Hibiscus powder (homemade or this)
Cinnamon (powdered)
Empty compact, tin, or jar (or buy this one)
All you really need is some beet root powder, but you can customize your shade using some other natural ingredients, as well.
To make beet root powder, first boil or bake a few beets, then peel them, cut them into thin strips, and dehydrate them using an oven or a dehydrator. If you use an oven, you’ll want to keep it at 140 degrees Fahrenheit, with the door propped open to avoid moisture buildup. After 8-10 hours, they should be fully dehydrated. To turn them into a powder, put them in a food processor until you have a fine powder.
I don’t own a dehydrator, and my oven doesn’t function at low temperatures, so I opted to purchase beet root powder instead. You should be able to find some at your health food or vitamin store, but you can certainly purchase it online if not. Try to find an organic kind if possible — like this. If it comes it capsule form, just pull the capsules open to release the powder, then discard the empty capsules.
