Tinting Ultra Sheer Zinc Finishing Powder?

Post by ellaryn » Mon Oct 27, 2014 6:28 am

Hi there, new here - so sorry if this has been asked/if there is somewhere I can read about this?

But I was wondering if I could tint the Zinc powder so that it won't leave a white cast on my medium skin tone? Would I buy a powder foundation and will it be okay to mix (formula wise, texture wise, will it apply nicely)

Thanks for any help!

You can use just the color bases to tint it. Just mix it on the light side. There is not much opacity in the Zinc, so the color gets dark quicker than you'd expect.
