Makeup Recipe #1: Homemade Organic Fabulous Face Powder

I know. Natural beauties don't need cosmetics. We are just naturally fabulous! Yet, we got to admit that occasionally we may need a bit of makeup to look more professional at work, or to impress our prince charming.

So, here comes our homemade recipe #1: Foundation Powder

This wonderful recipe contains rice flour which can fill in all fine lines and mask oiliness for a matte finish, without clogging pores.With a soft violet floral scent, orris root powder helps in maintaining skin elasticity and moisture level when used as a face powder. Effective in curing skin infections and inflammation, rose petals can bring in a soft rose colour and a soothing fragrance to this face powder. Cinnamon powder can darken the face powder to a shade close to your natural skin tone. It can also create a soft, sun-kissed glow. Since this recipe contains a number of organic herbs, you are recommended to do a patch test on your skin prior to use.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz Organic Brown Rice Flour (for Asia climate)
• 1 oz Organic Orriz Root Powder
• 1/2 oz Organic Rose Petals
• Finely ground Cinnamon Powder for normal skin or Cocoa Powder for sensitive skin

Steps:

1. Gently crush the rose petals with a spoon
