How can you make your foundation lighter?

Answer 1

There are a couple of ways.

The first way is to buy the right shade to start out with. I think everyone who's ever bought makeup has gotten the wrong shade or found out there's no such thing as the "right shade," though, so try these things...

• you can get another foundation that's lighter, and mix the two together.
• you can apply the foundation then use a lighter powder over it
• you can mix a little foundation with a LOT of moisturizer--say, a nickel-size glob of foundation mixed with four nickel-size globs of moisturizer

eve says: i was looking up the same answer today and so many ppl sed to use white moisturiser, so i did, it didnt really make a diff. so wat i did was put flour in it until it was my color, and then put a little bit of water to make it less thick, and it worked perfect!!

Kristi says: I used da mostiurizer, and it made it a bit lighter, all answers up there are correct! :)

Answer 2

shine some light on it

na jks, throw the crap out, its ruining your face and its just a marketing ploy just like apple.. (if you dont have 1 you're not cool enough) apple is the worst ever

Answer 3

Yes you can but I wouldn't suggest it. If it is a good foundation with lots of pigment in it then it can look natural, just make you look paler. If you want to look pale then it should be fine.

Answer 4

Get a setting powder that's one shade darker, or a bronzer. :D

Answer 5

Mix it with some liquid bronzer (like Revlon's Age Defying Illuminator) if you have some. If you don't, use a darker powder or bronzer over it to make it look darker.
