Mattifying Face Powder

2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder

2 or more teaspoons of cocoa powder, depending on the depth of your skin tone

5 drops lemon essential oil

Glowing skin is gorgeous; greasy skin on the other hand . . . let’s just say that it’s not the most flattering. This powder is fantastic for setting liquid foundation or for dusting on your T-zone throughout the day to keep oil at bay. Oh, and it’s insanely easy to make!

Combine cornstarch and cocoa powder in a bowl, and then stir in the lemon essential oil until the powder is one uniform color. Apply a test on the side of your face to determine whether you need to add more cocoa powder, adding a 1/2 teaspoon at a time as necessary.

For ideal storage and application, transfer powder to a recycled mineral face-powder jar and dust on lightly with a fluffy brush on clean skin, to set liquid foundation or to touch up throughout the day.
