The hack
Make a blusher out of darkish pink or pink petals and cornflour.
The promise
Much less a TikTok pattern and extra one thing from the pages of a Georgian romance novel, this includes making your individual rouge by mixing floor rose petals with cornflour.
The take a look at
The recipe I’m following makes use of contemporary rose petals, pulverising after which baking them. However I go for ready-dried Persian rose petals, as they’re a pleasant shiny pink – and hacks are supposed to make your life higher and simpler, proper? As instructed, I make a powder from a handful of petals utilizing a pestle and mortar. The result's a bit grainy, however satisfactory. This kinds my essential pigment base, and to this I add quarter of a teaspoon of cornflour at a time, testing the formulation on my pores and skin as I am going. It wants some endurance and dedication, however I discovered that my tone warranted not more than half a teaspoon of cornflour for the correct mix. Whereas this combine confirmed up effectively on my pores and skin (this was my essential concern), it was a bit lumpy and patchy.
The decision
I like the concept of this, nevertheless it’s numerous trouble for little or no reward and in addition fairly dry. You could desire a cream blush formulations reminiscent of Typology’s Tinted Balm in Coral Orange (£14.50), which supplies that contemporary, Jane-Austen-esque attraction.
