My DIY blush loose powder is going to save you a bit of money because it is made with simple and all natural ingredients and can easily be done in 10 minutes. A blush can bring a lot of personality into a makeup look and sometimes lift up even a sour mood! The color of this blush recipe is a natural pale pink that will give you a nice healthy glow.
The beauty of making your own blush is that you can customize the color to your liking, by adjusting the amount of kaolin clay (lighter), cocoa powder (darker), pink sweet potato powder (more red), rose petals powder (more pink).
How do I make my own DIY blush with natural ingredients?
Making your own blush is surprisingly easy, consists of combining clay with herbal and natural ingredients. Start gathering these ingredients so you could follow this homemade blush recipe below:
Ingredients
- 1 tsp kaolin clay
- 1/2 tsp pink sweet potato powder optional
- 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
- 3 tsp rose petals powder
Instructions
- Mix the kaolin clay with the pink sweet potato powder, cocoa powder and rose petals powder in a bowl.
- You can darken the pink by adding more cocoa powder.
- You can also use more rose petal powder until you achieve your desired color.
- Transfer the blush into your blush containers and bring them wherever you go for a quick touch up.
- This makes 1 oz of loose blush powder.
DIY blush Ingredients
Pink Sweet Potato Powder
The Pink Sweet Potato Powder is a natural pigment comes from pink sweet potatoes. Made from 100% vegetables (sweet potatoes), this ingredients is safe for the skin. I love its bright pink color, and it is often used in cosmetic products like glosses, lipsticks and blushes.
Rose petals powder
The beauty of rose petals powder is that it is 100% natural, smells divine and helps balance the skin tone and relieve inflammation. It also has a beautiful rose color.
Kaolin Clay
Kaolin clay is a white clay often used the cosmetics industry. It was called ‘Kaolin’ because of its history of being mined in the Kao-ling mountain for many centuries. It is largely used for face powders, deodorants, scrubs, soaps, and masks. It’s a great beauty ingredient that can reduce oil in the skin, purify the pores, cleanse the skin surface, treat acne, and soothe irritated skin.
Cocoa powder
I don’t need to introduce you cocoa powder…But did you know it has a high volume of vitamin E which helps to boost collagen production?
This also helps darken the blush naturally and also give a more skin tone. Always choose organic cocoa powder and don’t forget to make yourself a nice hot coco cup on me!
Empty blush containers
Vital in making your DIY blush it making it look like a professionally made one. The key element in doing this is choosing great blush containers where you can store your product. A great example is these containers for powder blush that look sophisticated and are complete with sifters and secured lids.
I also found this beautiful empty bamboo blush container that will brighten your day and make all your coworker jealous. It can be reused and of coursed recycled.
How to customize your DIY blush?
If you have poured too much sweet potato powder into the mixture and you want lighter pink DIY blush, add more kaolin clay to the mix.
But if you want a darker and deeper blush, you can switch the pink sweet potato powder with the cocoa powder organic powder to reach your desired hue.
This pink blush recipe is an all-organic recipe that would definitely benefit your skin in the long run.
The danger of commercial blush
While there are well-performing blush brands out there, you should be wary of the type of ingredients that they usually advertise. More often than not, there are nasty chemicals that are hiding in your commercial blush. Scientists from ewg.org found these chemicals that pose risks and danger to the blush users:
- Isobutylparaben
- Propylparaben
- Butylparaben
- D&C RED 36 (CI 12085/RED 36)
These chemicals can trigger allergies, cause disruption in the endocrine system, and cause biochemical damages on cellular levels. These are the chemicals you should completely void, especially when it comes to products that you put directly to your skin.
Hence, making your own DIY blush is the best way to go!

I had a hard time getting the powder to adhere evenly to my skin. The powder is so fine, even with a good blush brush it was falling off the brush after tapping. Do you have a suggestion for adherence.

that should work but use aloe vera juice instead of gel, otherwise, it will be hard to mix.
Hi Eve!
Are you ok?
I would like to do one question: is it safe to use essential oils in face and body creams during the pregnancy (even during the first quarter)?
Thanks.
Namaste,

Hi Ana, if you are pregnant you should avoid all essential oils unless it’s prescribed by a certified aromatherapist that is licenced. DR Robert tisserant explains that lavender essential oil is safe despite some controversy, suggest you read this.
