Make Your Own Bronzer
I heard an interesting comment the other day about using make-up to add some color to your cheeks. I was told . . . . Older women think “Blush”, younger women think “Bronzer”.
True? As an older woman I would say yes, I agree with that. Most of the time I use blush, but sometimes I like to wear bronzer too. I’m not that old yet! And that’s why I’m trying this fun and easy method to make your own bronzer, and you can do it with supplies from your kitchen!
To make this bronzer, you’ll start with a couple teaspoons of cornstarch and then add some cinnamon, nutmeg, and cocoa powder to make a nice bronze color. You then finish up with a few drops of essential oil that help bind the ingredients together.
You may also find that if your beloved comes up and gives you a kiss on the cheek while you’re wearing your new bronzer, he will probably walk away mumbling something like “mmmmmmm, pie.”

Perfect! I rarely wear makeup these days, but when I do, I had to use my ancient stash. Then I discovered how to make my own. I like this recipe better than my usual light schmear of old lipstick.
On the same note, I use just cocoa and cornstarch for powder and/or base.
Oh, i like this one! Not only practical and money-saving, but not unhealthy as well.
Thanks! 🙂
