Foundation Mixing | Yes or No?

 So first off.. Is it even okay to mix two different liquid foundations together? Yes!

Even if they're not of the same consistency or brand? Yes!

Here's a nifty little trick for all you beginer beauty lovers!

I used to use Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation religiously before I started my blog. It was my go-to foundation and I didn't even question whether or not it was right for my skin type and colour. Although after searching around and realizing I do indeed want to try a bit more with my make-up and fashion, I then went out and bought Revlon Colorstay. 

I managed to find an old photo I took of what the two colours look like. They both claim to be Ivory- I'm just as confused as you are. So as you can tell, there was a massive difference- not even a 'tan will solve it' difference, it was huge. Obviously I had tried the Revlon in the shop against my skin prior to buying it. But I think I tripped up a bit because I bought it in the winter, when I had no natural tan left in me. Anyway, you can imagine how washed out it has made me look ever since. I've carried on using it for the past couple of months, but it doesn't help me at all- I may as well not be wearing any foundation at all. So I finally took it upon myself to sort out the colour, and decided to mix my foundations together. Luckily I still had just under a quarter of a bottle of Wake Me Up left, so have since added around a quarter of my Colorstay foundation to the bottle too. It took a little while for it to properly mix (it resulted in my shaking and stirring) but I eventually sorted it. 

 This is the finished product on the left, compared to the Colorstay foundation on the right. I'm aware the camera doesn't do it any justice (again), but there is a slight difference in the colour. Using the Colorstay has helped to lighten my other foundation a lot, and I've finally got it to the perfect consistency and colour that looks right on my face- hallelujah!
