DIY Skin Highlighter

Ingredients Needed:

• 2 tbsp almond oil or grapeseed oil
• 2 tsp beeswax
• 1 tsp white mica powder

Directions:

1. In a double boiler, melt all ingredients together over medium heat. Do so in a glass jar or bowl over a hot pot of water.
2. Once melted, pour the mixture into a clean tin or small jar.
3. Mica tends to sink to the bottom, so before your mixture sets, it's imperative that you stir, stir, and stir.
4. After stirring well, press your mixture down into the container.
5. If you need a darker highlighter, just add more mica, making sure to stir before it sets!

Let it set for half an hour and you've got your very own homemade skin highlighter! Use this highlighter in the corners of your eyes to open them up and brighten, as well as on the apples of your cheeks extending towards your ears.
