I started doing this to prevent my foundation looking cakey. It looks so much more natural, now! I just mix it in my hand, then apply. Now mask-y, cakey foundation is a thing of the past. GREAT tip!
This is very clever! I hate full coverage foundation because it always looks so cakey on me! I had been searching reviews for tinted moisturizers when I stumbled onto your video... I already have the ingredients and will go one step further by mixing in my sunscreen. You have saved me the headache of color matching and saved me money. Thank you!!
ann uu it is!! I have combination skin so I have really dry and really oily areas You just use whatever moisture and/sunscreen that works with your skin already
This is a good tutorial but I have three tips: 1: Stay away from mixing your foundation and moisturizer with a spoon, this messes up the PH level 2: When applying the foundation stay away from rubbing it into the skin, this process of rubbing causes friction which leads to irritation. Instead, apply it with a gentle tapping motion or apply with a brush. :) 3: I have found this technique works best with a drop of oil. My personal favourite to mix with is argan oil. This oil not only helps to control sebum production but also helps to get the foundation to set properly and leave a beautiful glow! 4: I usually put some primer underneath, I feel like this works amazingly to hide pores and make the foundation glide right on! Hope this helps! 💖💓❤
Rubbing your skin doesn't irritate, no one could put on cream on sunscreen since they need to be rubbed in. Perhaps you mean "don't tug aggressively", which is not what she did here. Hello??
@@burningflower1 I don't know who told you that. I've done facials on many individuals and what you're saying is not accurate. If it were true all of them would be getting irritation and rashes with the exfoliation, massages and gua-sha. They do not. Maybe if you go to get a facial where the person is not careful? The girl in the video didn't get any irritation either.
I just tried this hack and it looked so natural on my face. There was slight coverage that is very similar to BB creams and it even out my skin tone which I'm loving. I don't personally use foundations anymore because I'm no longer used to it since the pandemic began, but this is a great way to reuse them
I tried with serum instead and it worked pretty well, you will get a watery and lightweight texture, resembling the glossier’s skin tint, but it did got onto patchy spot a bit but I’m not surprised since it’s watery, but it can be saved with moisturizing primer. I also tried with gel moisturizer, love the moisturizing feel, it felt very refreshing on my skin but it makes me look so oily instead of glowy.
This is amazing and let me tell you I used to do this before watching her video and searched up if anyone one else does it honestly it was so weird and cakey abs my foundation left some fingerprints and everything but this is honestly amazing
I will have to try this with my eczema emolient cream that I use as a moisturiser and see if it still works. Hopefully it will because it will be better for my skin than a moisturiser.
Do you now use different products as you were using back then? Also check the date of the products to make sure that they are still fine and not too old😊
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Hie...thanks for the reply...but i am confused if a tinted moisturiser is part of skincare routine or a make up routine😅...i am kinda new to this stuff...can u clarify this for me...😊
not really, I mean it also depends on how much moisturiser you are adding...And it would be a wast of foundation if you are buying ''a shade darker''. What if you want to use the foundation on its own as well as mixing it to create a tinted moisturiser?...😅
I'm not sure if you would reduce the sun protection factor when doing so, therefore I'm not recommending it even though I have already thought about it.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet will it alter how well the spf works? I've heard you're not supposed to mix things into sunscreen because it could affect the formulation, is foundation ok?
Yeah, but it all depends on how you are using it. I mean, it will dilute the sunscreen. But I guess you will not do this for sunbathing, so it probably will not matter much. It is, of course, best to always layer one after another to get the best protection possible.
You didnt use primer before applying it? My foundation does not work properly without primer. Can I use the full coverage foundation mixed with whitening moisturizing lotion after applying primer? If I do not apply primer, my foundation turns blackish after some hours... Kindly advice. Thanks
Nop, I rarely use primer as I believe that a good moisturizer can do a beautiful job too so that there is no need for a primer!😊 May I ask what primer and foundation do you use? Yeah, you can use a full coverage foundation and mix it with your moisturizer. If you are using a whiting lotion, try to mix it with your foundation and see how it behaves on your skin to see if the whiting lotion does not change the color of your foundation while wearing it on the face.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thanks for responding.... I use this foundation which you can see in the link below at the end. The primer is also from the same company Musarrat Misbah. Its a very expensive brand in my country.. Kindly look at the foundation review in the link below and advice if I can use it with whitening lotion? If I do not use whitening lotion, kindly suggest me the moisturizer of international brand which should be available in my country too... Kindly note I am a male with normal skin... Mostly dry in winters and very oily in summers... Nowadays my skin is very dry due to winter season so foundation does not blend on my face without using lotion.... Kindly see the foundation review on this link: th-cam.com/video/i3gJ_PiFhGo/w-d-xo.html
It is generally not recommended to mix your sunscreen with a foundation as it can dilute the sunscreen's protection. That's why you can find specific tinted sunscreen or foundations with SPF in it.
I bought a tinted serum, it's more like foundation , it's still to much coverage.. might mix it with my face cream see if it lighten to blend with my skin
What moisturiser and foundation do you have? You don't have to use all of your moisturiser and foundation, just try it with a little bit on the back of your hand or little plat and see how it works😊
Ha ha. I'm a 50 yo guy and I make a customized eye cream this way. I make it in a little jar that originally had other L'oreal eye cream in it, and mix it with a coffee stirrer stick.

Is this lighter on skin and okay for daily use? Did you break out?
Starting to do this and I’m loving it!!!
I use aloe vera gel to do this and it definitely helped me look more natural. It also feels much nicer and lighter on my skin.
That is a great idea! Using aloe vera gel! Thank you!
This is very clever!
I hate full coverage foundation because it always looks so cakey on me!
I had been searching reviews for tinted moisturizers when I stumbled onto your video...

You have saved me the headache of color matching and saved me money.
Thank you!!
Glad I could help! Adding a bit of sunscreen to the moisturiser and foundation is a great idea as well!😊
Is it good for oily skin?
ann uu it is!! I have combination skin so I have really dry and really oily areas
You just use whatever moisture and/sunscreen that works with your skin already
Don’t add to sunscreen and it’s impacts the efficacy of the SPF. Add SPF, and then apply tinted moisturiser
Girl, you don't need foundation! I thought you had makeup on already! You're blessed!!

Lol you got this off someone's TH-cam video. I just watched her say this.
Rubbing your skin doesn't irritate, no one could put on cream on sunscreen since they need to be rubbed in. Perhaps you mean "don't tug aggressively", which is not what she did here. Hello??
@@PigeoneerToy You're meant to lightly pat it in instead, any type of rubbing will cause friction leading to irritation. :)

Been doing this for a month now and my face does not cake anymore,I love it

Hey again!
Glad that you enjoy this trick! :)
I love how you could just put this in a small jar and take it with you during travel! Sweet tip. Very natural and a step less for on the go 😊.
Thank you!😍
That's the goal, to keep it natural!😊
Yeah, those jars or even little bottles with a pump are so handy and pretty cheap too😊
I tried with serum instead and it worked pretty well, you will get a watery and lightweight texture, resembling the glossier’s skin tint, but it did got onto patchy spot a bit but I’m not surprised since it’s watery, but it can be saved with moisturizing primer.
I also tried with gel moisturizer, love the moisturizing feel, it felt very refreshing on my skin but it makes me look so oily instead of glowy.
I would try a loose powder if you really want to use a serum or gel..
Hi I tried this with my eczema cream. I used a cream called aqueous cream and it worked well so thanks for the tip 😁
Hey! :)
Great to hear that it worked! :)
You make me excited about makeup 😍
I'm glad you like them😍
This looks so simple, but I havent tried it, thanks for idea 🙌
You’re welcome 😊
so is it ok with if i mixx moistuzer and foundation for everyday makeup
Yes :)
This is amazing and let me tell you I used to do this before watching her video and searched up if anyone one else does it honestly it was so weird and cakey abs my foundation left some fingerprints and everything but this is honestly amazing
Thank you! :) You are not alone haha and it's fine to do this! :)
Hi Melissa!
I love doing this, especially in the summertime when I want less coverage 👌.
Yeah it's a great way to save time too!😊
I will have to try this with my eczema emolient cream that I use as a moisturiser and see if it still works. Hopefully it will because it will be better for my skin than a moisturiser.
Hey! :)
Try it and let me know how it goes! :)
does it make the foundation lighter? I'd like to blend mine with a proper sunscreen too
It can make it lighter depending on your moisturiser/sunscreen, try it and see how it works😊
I have been doing this since ages because growing up, I saw my mom doing the same 😌😌
Is that works on oily skin? I can't use anything because too oily
Using a moisturizer on oily skin isn't always the best idea, as it can make the skin oilier. Instead, you could look into a powder foundation :)
Just stumbled on your video....just wanted to say you are goregous and beautiful skin.... and love your accent 😍
Thank you so much!!🥰
I love your videos ❤
❤️
Ill try this, but in the past the moisturizer made the finished product look patchy/uneven. But maybe I didn't mix it enough
Do you now use different products as you were using back then? Also check the date of the products to make sure that they are still fine and not too old😊
Some moisturizers do not go well with some foundations, try using another moisturizer or a different foundation and see how it performs then ❤
Will this work with water based foundations?
just test it :)
Hello...please guide if i should use it before or after sunscreen...thank you for the trick😊....love from India
Applying sunscreen is your last step in your skincare routine and the "first" step before applying makeup😊
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Hie...thanks for the reply...but i am confused if a tinted moisturiser is part of skincare routine or a make up routine😅...i am kinda new to this stuff...can u clarify this for me...😊
@@sumagirajala9251 You may want to use it before the tinted moisturiser, give it a bit until it has set and then apply the tinted moisturiser😊
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank u Melissa😊
How can i store it for further use?
Hm...in an empty foundation container! :)
Mam u show very easy most of them confuse 😵😕🤔 but u make me easy mam 🤝🤝
Thanks a lot 😊
so we don’t need to take a darker shade of it? cause I heard people mix their foundation with moisturiser if they buy a too dark one ..
not really, I mean it also depends on how much moisturiser you are adding...And it would be a wast of foundation if you are buying ''a shade darker''. What if you want to use the foundation on its own as well as mixing it to create a tinted moisturiser?...😅
Great video! Love this tip
Could I do this with concealer and mix it with a moisturiser to make a tinted moisturiser?
I haven't tried that, but I guess so! :)
Hey Melissa, can we make a tinted sunscreen just you made a tinted moisturizer?
I'm not sure if you would reduce the sun protection factor when doing so, therefore I'm not recommending it even though I have already thought about it.
Can I blend this with sunscreen instead of moisturiser? Do I apply it before or after applying sunscreen?
Yes, this should work! :)
- Apply your moisturiser
- SPF mixed with Foundation

I think u should change ur foundation. Why does it turn black??
Do you think sunscreen would be ok as a tint?
It is generally not recommended to mix your sunscreen with a foundation as it can dilute the sunscreen's protection. That's why you can find specific tinted sunscreen or foundations with SPF in it.
hi dear.....give some option about cheeck lip tint.
I mainly use cream or powder blush, I haven't tried any lip tints😅
Can i use nivea cold creme
I haven't tried it with the original Nivea cream😅 You can try it, but it may be to thick and you won't get ''a lot'' of coverage.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ok thank you
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet i will try InshaAllah
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet can o use e45 moisturiser
Which one?
Can oily skin use it?
You can make your own tinted moisturiser with your favourite moisturiser and foundation so that it is suitable for your oily skin😊
First...😍🔥💙💯lysm...you are amazing...
Can we store it
I recommend always mixing it fresh. You can also do it on the back of your hand so that you just use enough for that application :)
I bought a tinted serum, it's more like foundation , it's still to much coverage.. might mix it with my face cream see if it lighten to blend with my skin
Let me know how it goes! :)
Whenever I use any kind of foundation it make me look dark I don't know why even essence mouse makes me dark can I try essence mouse with lotion ?
Do you have oily skin? Also, have you chosen the right shade?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet combination skin sorry for late reply
@@unknownunknown-th4wx What about the shade you are choosing? Have you ever tried using a shade lighter?
I have a doubt, by mixing moisturizer with foundation won't give cakey look ?? Plz clear my doubt
What moisturiser and foundation do you have?
You don't have to use all of your moisturiser and foundation, just try it with a little bit on the back of your hand or little plat and see how it works😊
I feel like it makes it a lot less cakey and more easily spreadable! I love it!
Just try using a little bit of each 😊
Thank you 😘
