Foundation Color Blend

Foundation Color Blend ~ Warm

61.9% Yellow Iron Oxide

14.1% Gold Lame Mica
14.0% Red Iron Oxide
7.0% Ultramarine Blue
2.0% Superfine Silk Powder
1.0% Allantoin

Foundation Color Blend ~ Cool

42.8% Yellow Iron Oxide

7.0% Gold Lame Mica
36.5% Red Iron Oxide
10.7% Ultramarine Blue
2.0% Superfine Silk Powder
1.0% Allantoin

Start by assembling everything you will need:

scale - 0.01 gram
your blender/food processor
plastic wrap to place between your food processor and lid
spoons for scooping
boats/cups/something to weigh your product in
your kit or all of the ingredients in the kit
old clothing or an apron -- this is messy stuff
a mask to prevent breathing the powders

I recommend that you start out making 30 grams of the cool base
and 30 grams of the warm base.

WARM BASE

1) Place your weighing container on your scale and tare it.

2) Measure 18.57 grams of yellow iron oxide and put it into your food processor (or blender
or whatever you are using).

3) Repeat step 1
4) Measure 4.2 grams of red iron oxide and put it into your food processor.

5) Repeat step 1

6) Measure 2.1 grams of ultramarine blue and put it into your food processor.

7) Repeat step 1

8) Measure 0.6 grams of superfine silk powder and put it into your food processor.

9) Repeat step 1

10) Measure 0.3 grams of allantoin and put it into your food processor.

11) If you are using a food processor, cover the bottom half with plastic wrap/press and seal
and secure the top.

12) Once your food processor/blender is secure turn it on (hold on to it) and allow it to blend
for 2-3 minutes. I find it helpful to tilt my food processor to make sure that everything mixes
evenly.

It is very important to make sure that your color blend is mixed very well.

Once you are sure that your color blend is mixed well, you can repeat step 1 and then add
4.23 grams of gold lame mica to your color blend and gently blend -- this can even be done
manually (shaking). Micas do not need to be "ground" to blend evenly. The Gold Lame Mica
does not give you a shimmery or sparkly foundation, it makes for a complete (almost 3D)
look with your foundation, so that it doesn't look "flat", it makes you look alive.

You have now finished your warm color blend. Put it into a clean, empty container and label
it.

Clean your food processor/blend and dry it very well.

COOL BASE

1) Place your weighing cup/boat on your scale and tare it.

2) Add 12.84 grams of yellow iron oxide into your food processor/blender.

3) Repeat step 1

4) Add 10.95 grams of red iron oxide to your food processor/blender.

5) Repeat step 1

6) Add 3.21 grams of ultramarine blue to your food processor/blender.

7) Repeat step 1

8) Add 0.6 grams of superfine silk powder to your food processor/blender.

9) Repeat step 1

10) Add 0.3 grams of allantoin to your food processor/blender.

11) If you are using a food processor, cover the bottom half with plastic wrap/press and seal
and secure the top.

12) Once your food processor/blender is secure turn it on (hold on to it) and allow it to blend
for 2-3 minutes. I find it helpful to tilt my food processor to make sure that everything mixes
evenly. Make sure that your color blend is thoroughly mixed, if you suspect that it is not
blend it until it is completely mixed.

Once you are sure that your blend is completely mixed repeat step 1 and then add 2.1 grams
of gold lame mica to your color blend and gently blend -- this can even be done manually
(shaking).

You have now finished your cool color blend. Put it into a clean, empty container and label it.

Your warm blend will be a very rich, warm golden brown (definite yellow undertones). Your
cool blend will be a very rich mahogany (deep reddish brown).

Clean your food processor/blend and dry it very well.

IMPORTANT: COLOR CONSISTENCY

I really want to emphasize how important it is to be very accurate in your measurements.

Being off in your measurements will lead to inconsistent batches. 30 grams is not a large
amount to be working with and the smaller your batch is the more difficult it is to reproduce
consistent batches of color.

Another problem that can cause inconsistent colors from batch to batch is inadequate mixing.
This is why coffee grinders are so difficult to work with (that and their size), but coffee
grinders have small motors and they don't stay running.

One more problem that can cause inconsistent colors from batch to batch is switching
suppliers for your colors (I promise, this is NOT a sales pitch). There are dozens of
manufacturers of cosmetic pigments and there is NO color standard. Even my pigment
supplier has different shades of the same color. If you switch suppliers you will most likely
need to rework your color ratios to get them to match.

Foundation Blend

59.5% Sericite Mica or French Talc

25.0% Micronized Titanium Dioxide
12.5% Micronized Zinc Oxide
2.0% Superfine Cosmetic Silk Powder
1.0% Allantoin
q.s. Mineral Makeup Color Blend

1) Place your weighing container on your scale and tare it.

2) Measure 59.5 grams of sericite and place it into your food processor/blender.

3) Repeat step 1.

4) Measure 25 grams of micronized titanium dioxide and place it into your food
processor/blender.

5) Repeat step 1.

6) Measure 12.5 grams of micronized zinc oxide and place it into your food
processor/blender.

7) Repeat step 1.

8) Measure 2.0 grams of superfine silk powder and place it into your food processor/blender.

9) Repeat step 1.

10) Measure 1.0 gram of allantoin and place it into your food processor/blender.

11) If you want to add silica microspheres or silicone microspheres or Ronaspheres subtract it
from your sericite. 10% (10 grams) is a good amount to sub out without losing adhesion
properties.
12) If you are using a food processor, cover the bottom half with plastic wrap/press and seal
and secure the top.

13) Once your food processor/blender is secure turn it on (hold on to it) and allow it to blend
for 2-3 minutes. I find it helpful to tilt my food processor to make sure that everything mixes
evenly.

Remove 50 grams of your foundation base, place it into a clean container and label.

Start by adding 1 gram of color blend to your foundation base and mix well, tilt your food
processor/blender on its side to make sure that all of the color is blended. Continue adding
color until you have a match. Make sure to record everything that you do so that you can
reproduce the same color.

If you are looking at your color blend and thinking that you could use it straight and it would
still be too light, you need to pull out your black iron oxide and start darkening it.

You can add small amounts of liquid additives to your finished product if you would like to
reduce the fly-away dust you experience when you use your product (it also improves
adhesion).

You will most likely need to adjust the color to fit your skin.

 If the color is too dark for you add more titanium dioxide.
 If the color is too yellow add more red in very small quantities.
 If the color is too pink add more yellow in very small quantities.
 If the color is too light add more brown iron oxide in very small quantities.
 Each recipe should make 7-8 jars or makeup.

Easily Convert Your Mineral Makeup to a Liquid Foundation

Melt 2 TBS of coconut oil in a double boiler. Add 1/2 tsp of your favorite essential oil. I
recommend orange, lavender or lemon. If you have some, add 1 tsp vitamin E.

Dump some mineral makeup into a empty jar. Add some of the coconut oil mixture in a little
at a time and stir until the mineral makeup is covered. Adding more oil will make a lighter
foundation. Less oil will make a heavier foundation.

You may wish to make a thicker foundation to use as a concealer and a lighter foundation to
use for your whole face.
 Homemade Moisturizer That Turns Mineral Powder Into Liquid Foundation

 1-1/2 Tbsp apricot kernel oil or avocado oil

Facial Cream

Things You'll Need

 1 tbsp. dried sage
 1 tbs. dried rosemary
 1/3 cup distilled water
 Wire mesh strainer
 Coffee filter
 1 tsp. lanolin
 1 tbsp. beeswax
 Double boiler
 2 tbsp. coconut oil
 1/2 tsp. vitamin E oil
 1/4 cup almond oil (or avocado, soybean, hazelnut or olive oil)
 2 tbs. orange flower water (or lavender or rosewater)
 1/4 tsp. borax
 20 drops geranium essential oil (or 20 to 50 drops other essential oil)
 Wire whisk
 Spatula
 Wide-mouth jar

Tips and Warnings

Make sure all utensils and containers are sterile, clean and dry before preparing face cream
to avoid mold. Oils and waxes should be at about the same temperature for mixing. So warm
slightly or let them cool as needed. Homemade cream contains no chemical preservatives.
Use it within a month or keep it in the refrigerator for up to five months.
If you are pregnant, nursing or have compromised health, make sure herbs and essential oils
are not contraindicated for your condition before adding them to your face cream.

Directions

Boil the distilled water and pour it over sage and rosemary or 2 tbsp. of your choice of herbs.
Let steep, covered, for 25 minutes. Then strain through a coffee filter set in a wire mesh
strainer.
Melt beeswax and lanolin together in a double boiler over gentle heat. Beeswax protects the
skin and lanolin has oil similar to natural skin oil.

Melt the coconut oil in a double boiler over low heat. Stir in vitamin E oil, almond oil or your
choice of oils.

avocado and coconut oil nourish and feed your skin. Hazelnut, almond, and soybean oil are
softening. Olive oil is high in antioxidants, but has a strong scent. Vitamin E oil preserves
your cream.

Combine the strained herbal infusion with orange flower water or your choice of flower water
and dissolve the borax in the liquid. Add the mixture slowly to the oil and wax, stirring
constantly. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Borax is an emulsifier, helping the oils and water mix. Orange flower water has an uplifting
scent, tones skin and helps regenerate skin cells. Rose and lavender water are soothing and
rose softens.

Add the essential oil, one drop at a time while beating with a wire whisk. Geranium oil is
revitalizing and astringent. Lemon grass and ginger stimulate circulation and tone skin.
Chamomile and rose are good for children and sensitive skin. To relax and lift your spirits use
lavender, neroli or bergamont.
With a spatula, scrape the cream into a wide-mouth jar. Apply about 1/4 tsp. of face cream to
face and neck after washing.
