Mixing foundation with moisturizer or sun block?

Post by mgmsrk » Mon Mar 26, 2012 3:54 pm

I'm sure I read this but I could not find it in a search. Is it the Vegan formula that mixes better to make a cream foundation?

I'm pregnant with #2 and want the easiest answer for the summer for makeup. I've tried mixing my regular (original) foundation with my sun block but it doesn’t seem to work well.

Thanks

In general karen says not pre-mix because the mix will separate, but there is a wet/dry formula which is the one labeled "All Purpose Ivory" (which does not have silk in it, but is different from the vegan version) and I do like it, but i honestly use a tinted moisturizer from another company in the summer and tend to set it with a finisher/bronzer and go

Hello again Ladycatt,

Good to hear from you also. Things are busy. We are in the process of moving back to the US, I hate moving.

Xarata,

Thank you, I've put that formula in my cart. I won't be mixing it ahead of time, I do it each morning with my sunblock.
