mix a foundation

1. To get the right color – make the foundation cooler or warmer. There are 3 colors you can generally be, warm, cool, or neutral.  Sometimes a foundation may look a little to pink, tan or yellow.  Because of this finding the right shade can sometimes be somewhat tricky especially when it comes to lightness and darkness.
2. To get the right shade – make the foundation lighter or darker. This may be especially necessary at times when you are spray tanning, or in the summer months when you are outdoors more. At those times you want to have a couple of foundations on hand to mix and match to get the right shade.
3. To get the right finish – make the foundation more matte or dewy. Sometimes your foundation can be to matte or flat looking. On the other hand there are times it can be to shiny, so you want to find something that falls right in the middle.
