DIY Mineral Makeup

Step 3 Mix in wet ingredients

Add the following to the mixture:

• 1/4 tsp Jojoba Oil
• 5 drops Vitamin E Oil
• 4-8 drops any essential oil

Smash again, making sure to distribute the liquids evenly. They'll appear to just get swallowed up by the minerals, but remember that they need to be worked around until you have a uniform mixture.

• Now add 1 tsp. Sericite Mica for a nice matte finish.

TO TWEAK THE COLOR:

Change the tint by adding more of any of the iron oxides.
Add more titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or sericite mica if you desire a lighter overall shade.
Make note of your additions/changes so that you can duplicate when necessary.

If you don't add the oils, are there any problems with the finished product adhering to skin or looking chalky? I know the risk of microbial contamination in a formula like this is low, but since there aren't any preservatives I'd like to cut out the oils to make it even lower.
