It's a very good choice when I want to use a lot of color, like slathering it all over my cheeks and ears. I'll probably be using your version to replace my bottle in the near future.

There are 19th century recipes that suggest using beet juice as rouge and tehre are a 17th century one where the juice is mixed with starch and left to dry out. I think such powder may fade, but a small batch would probably not have time to do that. And on the face, well, you don't keep rouge on your skin that long, anyway. :)<br /><br />I look forward to read about your recipe!Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380497568603304818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215278741526021154.post-4723174859411574492013-10-12T19:21:58.787-07:002013-10-12T19:21:58.787-07:00Thank you for the wonderful recipes!

Especially anything with alum, I adore the stuff for skincare (I have extremely problematic skin).<br /><br />I've been pondering attempting to make this with beets... A few months ago I bought a bunch, sliced them into strips, and dehydrated them (managing to somehow kill my dehydrator the very first time I'd used it). Then I roughly ground them up and put them in plastic bags for storage until I felt like attempting this recipe.<br /><br />I don't know if beets were used in period, but I would certainly have used them! While slicing the beets, I got plenty of juice on my hands, so I dabbed some on my lips and cheeks. It gave me the perfect red I've been looking for! My skin tone is strange, and only certain reds look okay on it, which has led to buying and throwing/giving away a LOT of lip product in the search for a sultry pout and youthful cheeks :P<br /><br />I'll be trying this soon and posting the results on my blog :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215278741526021154.post-79326146674879739202013-01-25T02:41:27.846-08:002013-01-25T02:41:27.846-08:00Interesting!

I get a distinct orangy red when I use it as a rouge, which doesn't suit me, but I am sure it would look great on another colouring. :)Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380497568603304818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215278741526021154.post-17120943428827636232012-08-18T19:07:14.214-07:002012-08-18T19:07:14.214-07:00I have the Ageless Artifice version of this same r...I have the Ageless Artifice version of this same recipe, and find it acts very differently depending where it gets applied -- it seems to turn more an orange-brown color on my hands, but then offers that natural pink tone in other places.
