- Prairie pink clay
- brown iron oxide (Alternative: raw cocoa powder.)
- yellow iron oxide (Alternative: ground ginger.)

2. When a pinkish shade is reached, add, using a toothpick, a little brown and/or yellow iron oxide. Mix well.
3. Adjust the color by adding more iron oxide and/or pink clay.
4. Transfer to the jar and store away from moisture.
How to use it
With a blush brush, apply to the famous T-zone (nose, forehead and chin) or to the whole face if you have rather oily skin.
