1) Pour 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder into the bowl.

2) Mix it with 1/2 teaspoon of honey

3)  1 tablespoon of yogurt into the mixture.

4) Lastly, add 1/2 of teaspoon extra virgin olive oil. 

The mixture would looks like brownie batter and you can apply it by using brush or fingers. If the consistency very thick, you may add some yogurt depending on your batter consistency and yogurt used. 

Basically, this is how the texture looks like. Now you are done! Time to apply the choco-licious onto your face!
