DIY Making your own TINTED Moisturizer

I'll tell you a little story...

once upon a time a little girl went to the store, in hope of find a tinted moisturizer that matched her skin color. But little did she know she was in for a surprises. She skipped though the store all happy and cheerful, and she jumped for joy when she saw what she needed. Bring it back home she tried it out on her skin, but to her shock! Her skin! Her pretty skin! Was no longer what it use to be, it became 2x darker and clashed horribly with the rest of her skin. Crazy with anger... she went and blew up the store...

The end.

As you can see am horrible at story telling... but true story for me... up in till the point where the store blew up.

So in desperation the spur of the moment a new Tutorial popped up :D

The Title says all ~

Ingredients:
-Facial Moisturizer (spf 15+)
-Your Foundation (cream, liquid, or powder form. for my first batch a used a sealing power)
- A container
- A brush

Steps:
-Squirt your desired amount of lotion into your container (REMEMBER: This will only have a lifespan of about 2 weeks -- it will dry up so make sure you tighten the cap of the container really tight)
- Add you foundation (REMEMBER: 2 to 1 ratio 2 being lotion and 1 being foundation. Also .. the more foundation you put the more the coverage and vice versa)
- Mix it up well
- And BAM! your Tinted moisturizer

REMEMBER: store in a cool and place. keep the cap closed at all times. 2 week life span.
