I don't think the cocoa powder or beet juice would be harmful (though I think using actual make up products would be more effective, last longer and be unscented)

Cinnamon however could irritate the skin (It's often used in lip plumpers to irritate the skin to cause swelling) so I wouldn't use that.

I doubt it. actual makeup could be worse from all the chemicals and stuff it has in it.

Probably isn't harmful to skin especially since they are real foods.

But I've actually heard you can make you're own natural makeup with cornstarch & cocoa powder.

Cinnamon is extremely irritating and does not belong on the skin. Coco powder probably doesn't hurt, but I doubt it lasts and could be comedogenic. Beet juice is fine.

Honestly, people need to get over this ridiculous fear of "chemicals." Everything on Earth is made of chemicals. Cosmetics very rarely contain compounds that are dangerous, and if they do they are in concentrations that are completely harmless (unless you are eating hundreds of pounds of lipstick every day).

If I had a penny everytime I heard 'Chemicals are bad', I'd be a billionaire and could buy all the make up in the world! lol.
