Is there anything that shouldn't be mixed together?

Post by feyith » Thu Dec 24, 2009 6:43 pm

I like to play mad scientist. :)

I think I would like to put some Zinc Powder into everything - but then that got me to wondering if I could just mix some Blur or Perfecting Powder into my foundation and make it a one-step process?

Is there anything that shouldn't be put together - either because it would react poorly or cancel each other out - or not mix at all and end up just separated all over the place?

Also, are the Perfecting Glows basically a mix of Glow and Perfecting Powder?

TIA and happy holidays! :D

The only things you really shouldn't mix are the Super Serum and acids (that's skincare stuff).

Otherwise - go nuts :)

The perfecting glows are more silica based and don't have any silk powder in them. The perfecting powders do have silk powder in them, so the composition is a little different, but there's no reason not to mix them if that's what you want to do.

All the powders are inert, so you're not risking any reactions. You may come up with a bit of a surprising texture or colour here or there, but there aren't any mustn't's or anything.

I haven't made anything explode yet...there actually *is* Perfecting Powder in the foundation. The one caveat is that if you mix something like Perfecting Powder or Blur into the foundation it makes it more sheer.

Yes...play, and have fun!
