Liquid foundation can be great! It gives wonderful coverage, is easy to blend, it comes in so many shades to match you skin tone. However, it also can also be time-consuming to put on in the morning, expensive, and heavy feeling on your face. The average liquid foundation expires in 6-12 months, and if you're anything like me, you never go through a whole bottle before it comes time to chuck it.
So how do you get the most out of this pricey product? Find a way to use it all year round! Here's what I do:
- Purchase your foundation in the beginning of fall. The short days and overcast skies of these darker months are wonderful for keeping harsh sunlight off your look (foundation can appear cakey under full sun). Try also experimenting with more dramatic looks, like burgundy lips and smokey eyes, which compliment well with full coverage foundation.
- As spring rolls around, you can lighten the look buy making a tinted moisturizer by mixing 1 part liquid foundation to 1 part moisturizer. My personal favorite blend is Vapour Organic Beauty Atmosphere Soft Focus Foundation - s120
and 100% Pure Purity Hydrating Lotion, 1.6 Fluid Ounce
. - Lastly, in the summer you won't need to splurge on a new tinted sunscreen since you can simply mix 1 part of your same liquid foundation with 1 part sunscreen. Personally, I really love Loving Naturals Clear Body SPF 30+
