In your local fresh market or grocery, this reddish-purple vegetable probably caught your attention for its unusual color, texture, and often—dirtiness. Well, to give you more insight, beetroot is your friend for controlling your blood sugar; it's rich in antioxidants, good for detoxification, and reducing inflammation inside your body. Apart from its wonderful health benefits, this super veggie will be your new go-to hack for your makeup table! Not only that it perfectly matches your skin tone upon application, its pigmented juices intensifies your natural features to a princess-like beauty from the olden times!

If you remember the 2005 film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, beetroot is one of the main keys in achieving the natural finish of the characters. The movie’s director Joe Wright was the person behind the brilliant idea of the no-makeup look, and Jena Malone, who played the role of Lydia Bennet, illuminates the TikTok world with the film’s illustrious signature style, “Sometimes we would use beetroot, to do a little bit of lip or a cheek or something,” and further explained the artistry in the set before adding, “We would do a little beetroot when we wanted to be more red; you know, the cheeks are flushed or something.”

To achieve this natural blush reminiscent of the 18th Century beauty catalogue, start by stocking up on beetroot from your local market. Cut the veggie into your preferred slices without removing the skin, (or leaves and stalks) as these will serve as handles for application. Simply dab the pigmented surface onto your cheeks or apply it to your lips to counteract paleness. If you wonder where red-violet pigment juices came from, don’t fret, this substance is called ‘Betanins’, filled with vitamins, helpful in maintaining healthy skin.

Seize the opportunity to take this new beauty step in your daily routine, flawlessly creating your own regency period character, resembling the protagonist role of a woman in England, ready to tell everyone her stories.
