Ingredients
  

  • ⅛ cup arrowroot powder
  • ½ teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1-2 drops lavender essential oil

Instructions
 

  • Add the arrowroot powder to a small, glass airtight container.
  • Stir in a pinch of cocoa powder at a time until desired color is reached.
  • Add in lavender essential oil and stir well.

Notes

  • Setting powder does not have to match your skin tone perfectly. Simply stir in just enough cocoa powder to get the desired color.
  • For lighter skin tone, omit the cocoa powder completely.
  • Store the setting powder in a glass, airtight container for up to 6 months.
