3 Ways to Make Bronzer
Introduction:
Summer is fast approaching, and one way to achieve that perfect sun-kissed glow without enduring harmful UV rays is by using bronzer. However, store-bought bronzers can be costly and may even contain chemicals that could irritate your skin. If you’re looking for a more natural and cost-effective alternative, here are three ways to make your very own bronzer at home.
1. Cocoa Powder and Cornstarch Bronzer:
Ingredients:
– 2 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
– 2 tbsp cornstarch
– Small container with a lid
– Small mixing bowl
Instructions:
1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder and cornstarch.
2. Gradually mix the two ingredients until you achieve your desired shade of bronze. Adding more cocoa powder will create a deeper color, while more cornstarch will lighten the shade.
3. Store your homemade bronzer in the small container with a lid for easy access and safekeeping.
4. To apply, use a fluffy makeup brush and gently sweep onto areas where the sun would naturally hit your face: temples, cheekbones, jawline, and nose.
2. Cinnamon and Nutmeg Bronzer:
Ingredients:
– 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
– 1 tbsp ground nutmeg
– 2 tbsp cornstarch
– Small container with a lid
– Small mixing bowl
Instructions:
1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cornstarch.
2. Mix the ingredients well until you achieve your desired shade of bronze.
3. Transfer your homemade bronzer into the small container with a lid for storage.
4. Apply this bronzer to those sun-kissed areas of your face with a soft makeup brush.
3. Coffee Grounds and Cocoa Powder Bronzer:
Ingredients:
– 2 tbsp finely ground coffee beans (fresh or used)
– 2 tbsp cocoa powder
– 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for a lighter shade)
– Small container with a lid
– Small mixing bowl
Instructions:
1. Combine the coffee grounds and cocoa powder in a small mixing bowl.
2. If you find the mixture too dark for your skin tone, add cornstarch to lighten the shade.
3. Once you achieve the desired color, transfer the bronzer to the small container with a lid for storage.
4. Use a makeup brush to lightly apply this bronzer on areas where you want an instant glow.
Conclusion:
Creating your own homemade bronzer can save you money and help you avoid potentially harmful ingredients found in commercial products. Experiment with the quantities of each ingredient to suit your skin tone and personal preferences. Above all, have fun crafting your very own sun-kissed glow!
