Liquid foundation is a product that most makeup enthusiasts cannot live without. Unfortunately, the products you buy at department stores and beauty shops are often very expensive, and even those at the regular drugstore have become quite pricey. In addition, many commercial liquid foundations contain harmful ingredients that most people would rather avoid. Fortunately, with a few simple and inexpensive ingredients, you can make your own liquid foundation! An additional advantage is that this gives you the opportunity to adjust the hue and coverage level yourself.

Add zinc oxide to your sunscreen foundation. Zinc oxide adds sun protection to your liquid foundation. Buy un-layered, non-nano and non-micronized zinc oxide. Since zinc is a thick substance, it will increase the coverage of your makeup. It can also give your skin a smooth and soft appearance, reduce inflammation and fight acne, and prevent skin dryness.
- Zinc oxide is safe for the skin, but wear a dust mask and gloves when handling it. Inhaling the fine powder can cause an overdose, as the lungs retain the zinc oxide and then release it into the bloodstream.
- 30 g of zinc oxide results in an SPF of approximately 20.
- You may have to experiment a bit to find out how much zinc oxide you need in your recipe. Normally you will need about 1-4 teaspoons.
