How to Make Mineral Makeup

Did you know that you can easily make your own mineral makeup? Four years ago I decided to make my own. I started learning how to make mineral makeup. I was shocked at how easy it was.

I researched the ingredients in Bare Minerals, found a place to buy them and started experimenting. It turned out so well that I began selling my line of foundation immediately. I got great reviews. Most women told me it was the best makeup they had ever tried.

Now, I am super busy with three cute kids and have decided to stop selling mineral makeup. So I am posting all my recipes on this website so that you can make your own mineral makeup!

Why Make Your Own Makeup?

As you can see above, you can spend $100 and make several pounds of makeup! You are probably spending about $25 for a jar or bottle of good makeup. If you buy the above ingredients and reuse the jars you will be able to make over 100 jars of mineral makeup. Since these minerals never go bad, you could have enough makeup to last several years!

You will only be paying about $1.00 a jar! That's amazing and there are instructions to help you adjust your foundation color as your skin changes from season to season. If you worried about the $100 startup cost, find a friend to go on it with you.
