Turmeric is a spice that is used in cooking, particularly in Indian dishes (in fact it is present in curry), but it can also be a natural beauty product. You can use it to make a face mask or add it to your makeup so that the color tone turns yellow. The operation is simple, but it is important to get the right shade. However, you can achieve the desired results with a little trial and a little patience.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Changing Skin Tone with Turmeric
Step 1. Blend a small amount of turmeric with the moisturizer
One way to add turmeric to your makeup is to add some to your moisturizer before putting on your makeup. Thandie Newton uses this system to give the skin a more golden hue.
Try adding a pinch of turmeric to your moisturizer before applying it in the morning. Mix the turmeric with the cream in the palm of your hand and then spread the mixture on your face
Step 2. Add some turmeric to liquid foundation
You can also combine turmeric with your foundation. Pour a small amount of foundation into the palm of your hand and then a pinch of turmeric. Mix well using your fingertips or a makeup brush.
Apply foundation as usual
Step 3. Mix it with the powder foundation
If you want a powder foundation that gives your face a golden effect, try sprinkling some turmeric into your powder foundation. Use a brush to mix it with the spice.
Apply foundation as usual
Step 4. Combine it with the concealer
Sometimes the concealers are too pink for certain make-up needs. If you want to soften the effect of pink by adding a little yellow, pour a pinch of turmeric into the palm of your hand and mix it with the concealer.
- Mix the concealer and turmeric until they are well combined, then apply the concealer where you need it.
- This method is also useful when you have dark circles. Yellow helps to hide them.
Part 2 of 3: Add a little yellow to other types of makeup
Step 1. Mix turmeric with lipstick or lip balm
You can add turmeric to your lipstick to change the color gradation or to lip balm to give your lips a more golden hue. Try mixing a pinch of turmeric with brown or red lipstick. In this way you will lighten the nuance slightly.
- If you want to use a custom shade multiple times, get a toothpick and mix the lipstick and turmeric in a small, clean container.
- If you want to create a one-time shade, combine a small amount of lipstick with a pinch of turmeric in the palm of your hand.
- If you want to make your own lipstick, use turmeric as one of your pigments.
Step 2. Add turmeric to eyeshadow
If you want to change the shade of an eyeshadow so that it turns yellow, turmeric can be a good choice. Try adding some turmeric to your eyeshadow or apply it after your eyeshadow.
- If you want to add turmeric directly to the eyeshadow, sprinkle a small amount on top of the product. Start with just a pinch and add more if needed. Then use the eyeshadow brush to blend the turmeric.
- If you prefer to apply turmeric over the eyeshadow, first spread the eyeshadow over the eyes and then, with a brush, apply a small amount of turmeric.
- You can also make an eyeshadow by mixing turmeric with a base, such as cornstarch.
Step 3. Combine the turmeric with the bronzer
If you wish, try adding turmeric to your bronzer. Pour some on the top layer of the bronzer inside its container, then use a soft brush to mix. Then apply the bronzer as usual.
If you don't want to mix turmeric in the bronzer container, you can also put it directly on your face after the bronzer. Just spread a small amount on a soft brush and spread it over the places where you applied the bronzer
Part 3 of 3: Getting the Right Hue
Step 1. Determine if turmeric is right for your skin tone
Adding turmeric to your foundation will give you a yellowish hue, which is useful if you think the makeup is too pink. However, if you have very fair skin, there is a risk that it will not go well.
You can also try aromatic turmeric if you have fair skin. This type of turmeric does not tend to create spots, which is most likely when the skin is quite light
Step 2. Use a small amount first
When using turmeric for makeup, don't pour it directly into the foundation container. If you put on too much, you risk ruining your makeup. Rather, start with a small amount so that you gradually reach the shade you want. After that, if you like the color gradation, you can consider adding it to the bottle.
- Keep in mind that you can also combine turmeric with foundation according to your needs. You don't have to mix everything directly.
- Before you start mixing, spread out a towel to prevent the shelf from becoming yellow.
Step 3. To mix the turmeric well, use a makeup brush
When mixing it with your makeup, make sure you mix it well. Use a makeup brush or your fingertips to make sure you get an even compound, otherwise your makeup may be streaked.
- If you pour turmeric into a bottle of foundation or lotion, be sure to shake it well, at least for a minute, to make sure you mix the two products correctly.
- You can also use a clean wooden stick to mix the turmeric into the foundation if you prefer.
Step 4. Give it a try
Each skin is different from the other, so it is very likely that you will need to achieve various shades before finding the one that best suits your complexion. If you create a foundation that leans towards gold, try it on your face before putting on all your makeup.
- If it looks too yellow, try using more foundation.
- If it still looks too pink, add another pinch of turmeric.
