zinc powder?

Post by makeupmaniac » Tue Jul 20, 2010 4:58 am

Hello there,

I love my zinc powder. I am so happy with it. but it gives a slightly white cast to my face.

i have some foundation samples. Do you think that it would be OK if I mixed a spoonful of olive (which is my base) to my zinc powder jar? or would i ruin it?

any suggestions?

thanks!

Yes, you can tint your Sheer Zinc Finisher. It is very sheer, so you need to add colored base a little at a time. One scoop at a time should work fine. It is easy to overtint with a sheer powder, so just get it to the point where it removes the white cast. Overtinted powder will add color to your face, and not in a good way.
