Recently, i had serious breakout everywhere of my face as i stopped my pills. That's the reason why all my old friends came back visiting me and left some footprints too. So i was in need of a more coverage foundation than my usual Lotree BB Cream to conceal off those trails. I saw post of other who bought illamasqua foundation and does mix and match for their own skin shade as there is a limited shade release so far.
This inspired me to do so for my current product. I used my fav Stila Tinted Moisturiser + MAC Studio scrupt foundation in NC15. I love the stila tinted moisturiser (gift from Amy)which i use every weekend as i do not need so much coverage since i don't often to town and would like to let my skin breathe a little. Got my MAC Studio scrupt foundation thru Diane. This is good stuff, very good coverage for me but after prolong exposure in office environment, my face starts to get dry. Even though i put on my usual moisturiser.
I tried the mix one day out of curiousity, and now it became my HG formula... additional moisturise ingredient + foundation mix on top of my usual skincare routine. Instead of spending money in getting something new. This mix & match solved my problem and save me some money too.
Stila TM - MAC Foundation NC15 - The Mix
Stila: sheer finish, beige
MAC: richer, matte finish, paler beige
Do you have any mix & match solution that you had been using?
I don't currently mix & match but this is a great idea. :)
ReplyDeleteme too, I don't mix them, I just use BB cream. but this look cool!
ReplyDeletewow glad you found your HG! This is definitely a money saving idea, I have never tried mixing before but sounds like I need to get more creative :)
ReplyDeleteI don't mix and match. Your idea is awesome:)
ReplyDeletegreat idea! that definitely adds moisture to your foundation! congrats on finding your HG! :)
ReplyDeleteI think that mix and match is great when you've got a breakout, or are between shades!
ReplyDeleteWow this is a good tip, I'm going to try with mine, cos I have some foundations which I don't know what to do with them now :)
ReplyDeletei dont mix my foundations since i just use bbcream but i have friends that mix bbcream and tinted moisturisor because the bbcream is too dark for them
ReplyDeletehonestly I'm not using any foundation at all....cuz' my skin is so dry so just using my missha bb cream but this is a great idea....I know I need a lot more coverage...so I would definitely try this out...
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lovely foundation routine with us. :) Great idea in mixing the foundations to get your perfect match. I hope your skin clears up soon, I know and am dealing with that problem too. XD Thanks for the cool tip!
Very cool! I actually don't use liquid foundation so I've never mixed anything like this, but I mix shades of my mineral foundation ALL the time and when I'm lazy I mix my finishing powder with it too hehehe.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen
ReplyDeleteGood idea to mix n get the color you want! I heard of the Lotree from you blog before, is it only in Singapore?
I've been using BBs mostly, sometimes mixing it with a cream/liquid highlighter for more glow..
ReplyDeleteI'm in DC right now, and its been a freezing trip.. lol.. Been hauling too much at sephora though.. way too broke.. And I have the same problem with my Guerlain palettes.. hahaha way too pretty to start using.. My friend also thinks they look like chocolate bars.. lol..
Oh nice combination!But I have oily scin so I uses water based foundation and moisturisor.But I never mix them.I just apply first moisturisor and than cover of pan cake and than foundation.It just give me complete look.
