DIY Bronzer

Are you ready to get that sun-kissed glow without droppin’ mad money at tanning salons or roasting in the blazing sun? Me too! Here’s a super quick recipe for DIY bronzer that’s cheap, chemical-free, cruelty-free, vegan, and easy to make!

What you’ll need:

  • An old mineral makeup sifter jar (or you can pack it into an old compact)
  • Cocoa powder (or cinnamon)
  • Powdered sugar (or baby powder)

Mix your ingredients together until you’ve reached your desired shade for bronzing. Add more cocoa powder/cinnamon to darken, or add more powdered sugar/baby powder to lighten. Pour your mixture into the sifter jar and apply using a blush brush. Now gaze into the mirror and admire the beautiful, bronzed goddess that you are! ;)

    You actually make it appear really easy with your presentation however I to find this topic to be really one thing that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m having a look ahead on your subsequent publish, I will try to get the grasp of it!

    This method of bronzing up the skin totally works! As fair as I am, it was actually not that bad. Try it!

    Yum! But will my face get sticky if, say, it gets a little rain on it, or when I wash off my makeup at the end of the day?

      It shouldn’t, but everyone has different skin sensitivities so feel free to rock the cocoa powder. :)

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
