Dirty Beauty Series: Beet Root lip and cheek stain

So after reading and watching lots of videos on DIY natural lip and cheek stains, I got excited to start experimenting. You can easily use your favorite powder blush for this, which I did but I also wanted to try an all natural lip and cheek stain. The best recipe I found was on YumUniverse and made a few substitutes. I did not use lanolin. It also did not strain it because just clumped up in the strainer. I put the mixture back on the double boiler and just mixed the beet root power really good but it still is a bit grainy but workable. Maybe using more liquids would let it strain easier but this recipe worked fine for me.

HOW TO USE
When I feel like going foundation free, after moisturizing my face I use a Q-tip and dab a few dots from the apple of my cheeks up towards me temple and then use my middle and ring fingers to tap, not rub, from the apple to temple to blend. I do the same when using as a lip stain. I use lip balm first and then using a Q-tip or my finger and dip into the pot and tap on my lips to get the desired color.

WHAT DO I THINK
It took some time to get used to it and how to work with it and what works and what does not but I like it. I made two one with beet root powder which you can find at any health food store. It is a light tint that is great on days you want to look natural. I have another lip and cheek stain that I made using my favorite Clinique pressed powder blush that I crushed up into a powder and used this recipe and I use this cream blush when I use my powder foundation because it works better than the beet lip and cheek stain.
