Although in the summer i do find it easy to tan, the slight jaundice tinge is ever present, causing infinate problems when cosmetics shopping. Bases, foundations, concealers and illuminators seem to come in three shades. Pink, Beige or Brown and when used on my skin leave me looking cakey or over made up.
NO this post isn't just a complaint, it's a solution. I have discovered a perfect summer base, light enough to look natural, allow freckles to show through and blend easily with the skin, but heavy enough to hide all those tiny imperfections. Where is this miracle product from i hear you cry? Simple, you can make it, from products everyone will have in their makeup bag or bathroom closet.
First- Break some bronzer up using a cotton bud or toothpick, do this in a small tub that you want to store your home made foundation in. The aim is to remove all the lumps in the bronzer so it becomes a fine dust.
Second- Add some moisturiser to your pot, do this a small ammount at a time as you want to make sure the colour is just right for your skin, the lighter your skin the more moisturiser you'll want to use. As you are adding small ammouts of moisturiser keep mixing using the cotton bud or tooth pick. You can check the colour on the back of your hand, or for better results on your face.
That is basically all there is too it, don't worry if you have some lumps as you can blend these into your face when applying.
Below i'll include some pictures of the products i use, and the finished thing so you can get a better idea...
