Want that sun soaked radiance – without the dangerous effects of UV? Make your own mineral makeup powder bronzer with this easy recipe. You’ll have that sun-tanned, lustrous look in no time!
Ingredients
6 tsp. Sericite
2 tsp. Titanium Dioxide
1 tsp. Tapioca Starch Powder
2 tsp. Honeyed Beige Mica
¾ tsp. Soft Beige Mica
1 ½ tsp. Cappuccino Mica
½ tsp. Brown Oxide
Tools and Packaging
Small Mixing Bowl
Blend: Add all of the ingredients to a small mixing bowl and blend well. Once the ingredients are fully mixed (no clumps), scoop the bronzer into a 4 oz jar. Tip: Mix in a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder for an ultra fine blend.
Apply: Dip the brush into the powder and tap off any loose powder. Then lightly and evenly, brush the foundation on your face in a circular motion. Make sure you get all areas; forehead, cheeks, under eyes, and jaw bone.
Thanks to Celeste in customer service for being my
guinea pig and letting me test my bronzer on her.
She was a good sport and it looked great on her!

Hi – Just made this yesterday. I’m sort of fair/medium and it looks great on me before I added the brown oxide. I’m going to separate some and add it to see how it looks. If too dark will give to a friend.
Thanks Again for a great recipe!
So glad it turned out so well for you! If you have any pictures of it, we’d love to see it on our Facebook page.

Hi – just a quick question- when making a recipe like this, how do you measure the powders? Lightly fill the spoon, pack down or what? I’ve been overfilling, then scraping off the excess with the handle of a mini scoop. I want to keep consistent with how you do it!!!
When making this bronzer, you will want to make sure it is lightly scooped in and not heaping or packed in. From what you’ve told me, it sounds like you are doing it just right!

Hey!! Try mixing the bronzer with some lotion that you make, or already made. It seems to work well for me. I used some mineral makeup that I had bought and the shade wasn’t exactly right. Goid Luck!!
That sounds like a fantastic idea, thanks for the tip!

HAHA i have aguinea pig but i dont test stuff on her! *sarcasum* ;0 😉
I’m pretty lucky to have olive skin tone so I’ve never had to think about using a bronzer on my face…but I wonder how well it’d stay on my legs because they’re pretty pale and could use a fake tan. 🙂
