+ a simple makeup.
As you know we are in summer and summer in Karachi is quite crazy and sweltering.
In this weather it is pretty advisable to steer clear of heavy bases and use something light, especially if you have oily skin.
My case is a horse of different color. I have dry skin, tough I still don't do heavy base and power ceremony. I do make up according to weather, time and occasion. However, all bases are some how heavy or if not so heavy, they are pretty mild.
In such case tint moisturizer is the best answer.
They are actually moisturizer that has a slight tint of color for sheer coverage. You can use it instead of your regular base. They are lighter in texture and perfect for morning, and summer and best for those gals who hate heavy layers. They are pretty available in any drugstores and cosmetic shops easily.
For sometime, I had used CLINIQUE Tinted Moisturizer by fluke, and since then I am in love with this stuff.
Tough, the bad news (for me ) is that they are not easily available over here. As you know necessity is the mother of invention I do make my own tint moisturizer, and it works wonders.
So in my today's post I am gonna teach you how to make your own tint moisturizer, pulse I will tell ya my own daily/ normal makeup routine weather its summer or winter, spring or autumn.
For making tint moisturizer, all you need two stuff.: Your regular moisturizer + base.
I use ponds moisturizer and my current base is Ulta's buff beige. (I am in mad love with this shade).
Now, all you have to do is ;
1 : Scoop moisturizer in your palm, as much as you want to use it.
2. Add a drop, or small amount of your foundation into your moisturizer.
3. Mixed them well ( Your have your tint moisturizer in your palm).
4. Apply it to your face with a damp sponge .
5. Blot it and then use a compact power ( I use Ulta's fabulous face pressed power in light to medium shade)
6. Blush a bit ( I use Maybelline's Fit Me blush in light mauve)
7. Add one layer of mascara ( I use Cristine's water proof mascara..........best I have given crack so far)
8. Don't forget your lipstick ( I use Medora's 548, sugar poppy in Matte)
Tada ! You are done. Lets go all out, gals and enjoy summer.

Our climate is much like yours, and I enjoy using mineral foundation and tinted moisturizer like yours. I like your recipe for making one. Perhaps I shall start doing that~
ReplyDeleteThe weather here is the worst. And guess what, it is 22nd June today, now you can imagine how terribly hot it is here. Ahh, Mercy!
ReplyDeleteI really don't like make-up bases, they seem to be so heavy so I don't wear any. Your idea of mixing a small amount to tint the moisturiser is a great idea, now I just have to go and buy some make-up base ... thank you dear Izdiher for this advice, I might also splash out and buy some mascara. :)
ReplyDeletexoxoxo ♡
I don't think this will work for me. xo
ReplyDeleteI've actually done this before, with a different brand. My mom tends to use darker foundations and I have really light skin. But I was out of foundation so I mixed a little moisturizer with a couple drops of my mom's foundation which lightened it up and made it seem lighter. I also did this with her loose powder. I mixed a hint of baby powder in with her darker loose powder and again, it felt lighter and not to mention, it smelled pretty good! These are just a few tricks of the trade huh Izdiher! Nice post!
ReplyDeletewow this is great tips!!!! i've been using clinique foundation and cleanser for my face for so long now and i really love it :)
ReplyDeletetake care dear and wish you a lovely weekend!!!

ReplyDeleteAm afraid that now that I am in my 40s
I need more coverage
and as the weather here in Ireland is terrible
I can use any make up and never have it melt off my face.
Thanks for the tips Izdiher.
Have a lovely weekend

I haven't tried mixing my foundation with the moisturizer. I still do it by layers the way I paint my artworks :P
ReplyDeleteI do prefer light makeup (even at night :P)...I'm not using blush on at this time.
Thanks for the beauty tips ;)
Wow, great tip on mixing ;)

ReplyDeleteHaHa! I do this everyday! :D
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely no idea about make-up. All that I do is put some cream(brand suggested by mom) and then sunscreen over it. That's the most that I can do.
ReplyDeletei'm from karachi too..
ReplyDeleteHope this helps.
