How to Make Tinted Moisturizer

If you live in a warm climate, can't stand the summer heat or just don't like the feel of heavy makeup sitting on your skin, tinted moisturizer may be a better option for you. It's lighter on your skin, but still provides some coverage to even out your skin tone and conceal blemishes. This article will show you how to make tinted moisturizer with only a few simple ingredients...

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Moisturizer
• Liquid or powder foundation
• A small container

1. Choose a moisturizer for the base. When choosing a moisturizer, the right one for your skin type should go on without feeling greasy. There are different moisturizers for all skin types, including dry, oily and combination, among others, so keep this in mind as you shop.

2. Pick a foundation. You can use any foundation you like, including powder or mineral foundations, but liquid foundations mix with the moisturizer better.

3. In a small container with a lid, mix a small amount of moisturizer and foundation together until well blended. The foundation will tint the moisturizer, but you control how much color goes in.

4. Using your finger tips or a sponge applicator, gently dot the tinted moisturizer onto your skin and rub in gently using small circular motions. For extra coverage, apply a small amount of plain foundation over any visible blemishes and then use the moisturizer.

5. Store in a cool, dry place. Discard any leftovers after a week and make a new batch as needed.
