  • In a small bowl combine 1 part cornstarch, 1 part green clay and a bit of cocoa.
  • Mix together carefully, making sure to fully incorporate any lumps.
  • Funnel or scoop your powder in the container of your choice, and you’re all set!.
  • Dip in your  brush, tap excess off and apply.  
  • Like all loose powder, it can be a bit dusty, but it brushes right off  clothes. Also, it’s going to look a little green, but once you brush it on the colour matches your skin tone.

1 part in a 1 to 1 recipe depends on how much you are making. If you want a gallon, each part would be 2 quarts. If you want 1 cup, each part would be half a cup.


I have used arrowroot powder instead of corn starch. 

I have mixes 1tbs of arrowroot, 1 tbs of green clay and 1/4 tsp of cocoa powder
