I'll copy the recipe, should clicking one more link make you weary (or should you like a preview of ingredients!)
INGREDIENTS:
2 Tbsp arrowroot powder or non-GMO cornstarch
¼ tsp cocoa powder
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
ground cloves
ground ginger
ground sage
10 drops nourishing oil (lavender essential oil, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil or vitamin E oil recommended)
5 drops tea tree oil (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a small glass bowl, measure out arrowroot or non-GMO cornstarch.
Add ¼ tsp of cocoa powder and ¼ tsp of nutmeg. Mix well with a wisk.
Add remaining ingredients, ⅛ tsp at at time, depending on your skin tone and wisking well after each addition.
Test the color by dipping your foundation brush into the bowl and brushing on your face.
Adjust the color as needed.
When you've found your perfect color combination, add 10 drops of lavender oil and wisk well. If you would like additional moisture, add the optional tea tree oil and wisk well.
Scoop powder into your final container and store closed.

Coincidentally, after receiving my presenter's kit from Younique, I started using the 100% natural mineral pigments for eyes and blush. I'll admit, that when I started selling Younique products, I didn't know their mission was to create beauty products with natural elements (I was flabbergasted by the 3D fiber mascara and simply had to start selling it).
Obviously, this only deepens my (super hip) natural vibe, but a blessing for my predicament nonetheless.
Okay. Gross but super realistic information-if you simply cannot handle informative tips about the way the body works, skip this part. (You're welcome for the heads up!)
Mites. Did you know there are very small bugs that invade your eyelashes, where the follicle meets the skin, hundreds of them? Mites are everywhere, little bugs that devour your dead skin. When they crowd enough, your eyelash has no choice but to give up and fall away. Lavender oil has natural antibacterial properties, combatting these dirty little things and helping your lashes to live longer (resulting in longer growth periods). Put about 5 drops in your mascara (the transplant gel if you use Younique mascara) and over a few months you might notice longer lash life!
Here's a little more information in case a cleaner makeup line was ever in your radar. My LINK if you heard it from me 😉
My new cleanser. The goats milk breaks down oils, lavender is a natural antibacterial, and oatmeal is healing for your skin. It leaves my skin SO soft, and is free of all additives and chemicals. Bonus!!
From one girlfriend to another, your face deserves this peace. It's done great things for my skin, and I truly hope it works as well for you as it does for me. With any change in routine, it takes a few weeks before your skin begins to react, so be patient (and diligent!)
