How to make beetroot blush at home
Step 1-Clean the beetroot

How to apply beetroot blush on cheeks?
First of all, clean the face and apply moisturizer. Now apply a small amount of blush on the cheeks with the help of a finger or a clean makeup sponge. Spread it by patting it with light hands. If you want more pink color, you can reapply a small amount after the first layer has dried. Keep in mind that the color of beetroot can be quite dark, so always start with a very small amount. Before applying it not only on cheeks but also on lips, ensure the safety of its use.
