Too often have I been left with a product too dark, too light or pink. It’s not a cheap practise, so you want to try and get it right.
Recently, I purchased a Revlon concealer for contouring. Of course, It was too dark for highlighting – almost as dark as my Nude By Nature mineral foundation.
I’d already committed to opening it, so there was no going back. And I was not going to buy another one.
Then an idea came to me.

Mixing the cream and the concealer not only made it smoother to apply, my skin also absorbed the products leaving a nicer coverage.
