Recipe : Homemade Natural Foundation Powder

Ingredients :

    - Arrowroot flour/starch
    - Cocoa powder or cacao powder
    - Cinnamon (ground)
    - Nutmeg (ground)
    - Ginger (ground)
    - Bentonite clay [shop online]
    - Vitamin E liquid [shop online]
    - Pure lavender essential oil [shop online]

Method :

1. Gather your ingredients and a non-metallic bowl (Bentonite Clay should not come in contact with metal).
   
2. The amount you use of each ingredient will greatly depend on your skin complexion. So start with a 1/4 cup arrowroot flour/starch. This is your base. You can go back later and add more if you need a lighter powder.
     
3.  Add 4 Tablespoons cocoa / cacao powder to begin . (if you have darked toned skin add more as required)
    
4.  Add 1/4 teaspoon each of the ground nutmeg and ginger (if you have more of an olive skin complexion you may need more)
     
5.  Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
       
6. Add 2 teaspoons bentonite clay
       
7. Add 10 drops of the vitamin E liquid
       
8. Add 12 drops of lavender essential oil
    
9. Mix all your ingredients in the bowl, starting with the arrowroot as your base. Add each ingredient as listed above. Whisk together. Test the color by placing a small amount on your face (or arm) with your finger. It may take a little tweaking the first time to make the perfect shade for your complexion. Keep record of the amounts used once you have made and tested your first batch.
   
   
10. Store your foundation powder in a small container and use a sponge or brush to apply.
