Hi girls! Cream blushes are great for giving you a natural glow and adding color to your face. But, if you are like me, you don't want to go out and spend $10 or more on an overpriced cream blush! This is a super simple way to make your own cream blush using inexpensive items, or extra makeup, that will give you the same results! This idea was from one of my best friend's Kayla L!
Step 1: Find an old makeup tin or small container to use. This was an old powder compact that I am using. If you still have a little powder or product left scrape it out and clean out your container.
Step 2: Grab a lipstick you don't use or and old one. You can also buy a cheap one to use from the dollar store. I'm using the lipstick side from an L.A. Colors Lipgloss and Lipstick Duo I bought at the dollar store, in the shade "Twinkle."
Step 3: Cut off the "bullet" of the lipstick. (If you want to continue using the lipstick after the project then set the bullet aside and see step 4.) Scrape the contents out from inside the tube. Place the bullet and all product into your container.
Step 4 (optional) : If you are wanting to continue using your lipstick then after scraping out the product from the tube, replace the bullet into the tube. It should be good as new, and you can use your lipstick again.
Step 5: Smush your product into your container, and add a small scoop of pertoleum jelly in with it.
Step 6: Mix the ingrediants together and spread it evenly into your container. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time, until it is softer. (If you have a container with metal skip this step or transfer your product into a microwaveable container.) When the product or soft or liquid, pour it and smooth it into your container.
Step 7: Freeze your blush for 3-6 minutes, to set it. After that, you have your completed cream blush! To apply it just warm some up on your fingers, dab it onto your cheeks, and blend it. *Additional products can be added to your blush. You can mix lipsticks, scrape in eyeshadow, add face powder, or primer to make it longer lasting!
