Re: Homemade Makeup Update

[Guest guest]

Patty;

I ordered the items you used in your makeup and mixed them then

tried applying it dry with a brush. I did not like how it went on,

so packed some in a little jar (like a pressed powder) and then

applied with a brush and I really like it. I have not added

anything to your recipe. If you pack it really tight, you do not

get excessive amounts on the brush and it covers nicely. This stuff

does not just wash off easily though.

Thanks - that is a wonderful idea!

Adding talc to the original powder recipe made it perfect and easy to

wash off. Mixing it with toleraine moisturizer made a perfect

foundation for me. No breakouts, no pH problems, perfect! I knew it

would take a lot of trial and error, but I'm so happy I found this

solution. I feel my " makeup " is protective and helpful, rather than

detrimental to my skin.

I want to stress again that I am now almost certain that the use of

pure glycerin caused little pimple-like breakouts on my face

(remember, I mixed my powder with glycerin and water). A little as

an ingredient in a lotion seems fine, but I think pure glycerin is

just too much and may not be the proper ph to boot. The powder by

itself is good but a little hard to wash off. If you add talc to it

(make it about half talc), it becomes a perfect powder - just like

store brands-easy to wash off but withouth all the extra added

stuff.

Just goes to show how it takes weeks to see effects sometimes.
