+1 King Taco and Cheece, other ways didn't work for me((

Foundations does darkens with moisturizer so my multi-purpose mix is 3,5 scoops lighter than the original one
Current ratio, Sept. 13: 1 Ebony : 1 Buttery Gold : 15 All Purpose : 5 Ivory : 2 Yellow : 1 Liberty : 1 Beach Bunny
The mix is pale and does't look yellow

Yup, the foundation will definitely darken when mixed with moisturiser or applied damp. So a lighter mix is required. Although on the positive side, the foundation is highly unlikely to darken further on the face :P

Flat tops, dense kabukis and duo fibre stippling brushes do the trick for me. I use both Avene thermal spray and SN's strawberry spritz, whichever is handier at the time out of the fridge. Both perform the same to me. I'd imagine plain water would work just fine too.

Favourite SN lippies (currently): Darling, Barcelona (Gumball), Menage

I put an extra scoop of white and it's still too dark, but the coverage and lasting effect is amazing

More white! ;) Sometimes it takes more than you think. If you are fair, one scoop might not effect the overall color much. It kind of works on a percentage thing.
