I know it's nothing groundbreaking but I've recently started mixing together a couple of my foundations/base products. I've found a combination of products that creates a perfect buildable medium coverage with a dewy (but not greasy) finish.
...Roll up Vichy's Dermablend Foundation and Dr Jarts Regenerating BB cream; it seems my two favourite bases mixed together create the perfect hybrid!
I've talked about my love for Vichy's Dermablend foundation here but sometimes I find it can be a little too heavy on the skin and it's just a tad too dark for me. Mixing it together with Dr Jart's BB Cream helps lighten the shade and creates a really lovely finish. I simply dispense about half of the amount I'd usually use of each product (let's say half a pump) and mix them together with my finger before dotting it around my face and blending with one of my much loved RT brushes. I just love the finish this combo gives!
Have you ever tried mixing together your base products?

thats a really good idea! I have the Dr Jart BB cream (in the green tube) and some of my foundations are a tad too dark as the colder season has came strolling in, i will have to try this method :)

You should definitely give it a go! It's worked really well for me so far :). x
DeleteI like to mix my foundations, especially as my skin colour is always changing! Have never tried either of these though.

It's a handy little trick isn't it! The Dr Jart+ Regenerating BB Cream is one of my all time faves :). x
DeleteThank you for the comment on my blog :)
ReplyDeleteI've never even thought about mixing two foundations, it seems like a daring thing to do in my opinion. Haha, but hey I guess it worked out well so maybe I'll have to try it!

No problem! Haha, yeah it felt a little weird at first but it worked well for me! You should give it a go next time :D. x
DeleteI have to do this ALL the time, as every foundation is too dark for me! It's really easy to do as well, and a good way to use up foundations you'd never use normally xx

I'm the same, I struggle soo much trying to find a good colour match to my pale skin! It's a nifty little trick. xx
Deletei have to do this all the time, to change the consistency and colour since it seems my skin is always changing. glad someone else does this too! x
