Blending Procedure:

1. Place all ingredients in a small bowl and thoroughly mix them with a spatula, spoon or popsicle stick. Be sure to remove all lumps of unblended color. You may wish to use a clean coffee grinder to break up the mica into the smallest particles. (Wash the grinder thoroughly after use and set it aside for mineral makeup only.)
   
   
2. Empty the finished blend into a small jar, preferably a sifter jar for easy dispensing. Cap and label. To use, gently touch the tip of a cotton ball or blush brush into the powder and tap off excess. Brush evenly onto cheeks.
   
   
3. For a warmer colored blush, replace Bordeaux mica with Sienna fine mica. For a darker blush, replace Splendid blue mica with Blackstar red mica.
   
   
4. Note: since mica suppliers assign different names for the same colors of mica, to avoid confusion, Monave supplied mica is recommended for this recipe.
