Homemade Blush

I ran out of my last container of store-bought blush today.  Since I already wear homemade lip gloss and facial powder, I figured I'd go ahead and try my hand at homemade blush.

It could not have been any easier.

I put some of my beet root powder in a cute little BPA-free Nalgene container from Container Store, so it's handy in my makeup bag.  Whenever I need blush, I just take a squirt of my facial moisturizer in the palm of my hand, shake some beet root powder into it, mix it really thoroughly with one finger until it's no longer grainy, then smooth it on my cheek bones.  I can make it as light or dark as I like.  Or, I can mix a bit in the palm of my hand with corn starch (my preferred facial powder) and apply it with a regular blush brush.

Looks great and costs pennies.
