DIY: Cream Blush

Hi girls, I mentioned wearing a homemade cream blush on Corallista's FB pic today and a couple of you were curious. Hence, this post....

My DIY obsession started with a lipcolour. You can read the story here....

To get a cream blush, I used essentially the same technique. I mixed vaseline, Lakme Rose powder and a few old lipsticks and eyeshadows. I did not add almond oil or vanilla essence to it. The final product looks like this...


This gives a nice dewy finish and lasts upto 3-4 hours... I wear it around the house on dull skinned days :)

Did you girls like this? Have you done any DIY in makeup?

    @ Manya, I agree we should not use very old stuff... they can have an adverse effect. I think mine were less than two years old and were unflattering so not used at all.. but yeah, they need to be in good condition...

    @ Shimmerlicious, welcome to my blog. While this will not clog pores, it will accentuate them like any other cream blush. Do you use cream blushes?
