Can I Create Tinted Moisturizer Using Mineral Foundation?

Tutorial From One Of Our Customers Who Is A Retired Aesthetician

A Bit Of Background On Victoria Guillot

I’m 57 years of age with fair olive skin and rosacea, and I recently developed dermatitis from using a previous brand of mineral foundation with Bismuth Oxychloride.  I have red areas everywhere right now and several rough spots to cover.  I typically use mineral makeup foundation shades called golden beige or golden tan with excellent results.  When trying Jennifer it was too light and looked like chalk on me, and I was surprised that Bianca and Calla had appeared very dark.  I had applied with the moist method using the toner mister and it had appeared as if I were flushed from heavy exercise so I called for color advice.  Believe it or not, I discovered by applying with a different method, the problem was solved.
