Mixing Foundation With Water

[marcs.lover]

Is it okay to do that?

I have dry and sensitive skin, and when I wear foundation, I felt like my skin is grazed and it felt really uncomfortable. Is it okay to mix a bit of water to the foundation? If it's okay, should the water be warm or cold? What about the texture? Will it be affected because of the water?

I heard that if you soak the sponge (perfer cold water because it'll close pores) and sqeeze a little bit of the water out so it isn't dripping and pour the foundation on the sponge it'll help blending so I guess it'll be okay to use water.

is it the liquid foundation type??? hmmm...i dunno about adding more water but it doesn't sound like it'll hurt...if you have sensitive skin...maybe you should use...oh crap i forgot what it was called but its not a liquid but a compressed foundation?...and its not compressed powder either... kinda feels like chalk??? but you just dab a little on your finger and kinda pat it on the areas you want covered and then you put this white powder on it to blend it in...

ummm sorry i don't know if any of this help ^^;;

I don't think it'll be too much of a big deal to mix it with water. Try not mixing too much in because I don't think the foundation would work as well.

Then why don't you use a moisturizer before you put on the foundation?

I don't think water + liquid foundation would mix too well.

But powder foundation should be okay I guess

In my experience, it didn't seem to cover much though.

I use moisturisers, but still, somehow my skin still felt uncomfortable if I apply foundation straight from the tube. =X

i think if you put water directly into the foundation bottle, you could probably expect it to separate when it settles. like you'd have a layer of foundation and a layer of water. but if you're mixing it into your palm while you apply, there should be no problem. i don't know how it would look, but if it works for you then who's going to say you shouldn't?

I read on a magazine that if your out of foundation, you should add some lotion into the foundation and it'll last longer, and still work pretty much the same.

In your case, you should add some lotion for dry/sensitive skin into the foundation?

Hope this helps.

maybelline actually made a foundation with water in it. its called maybelline pure makeup. it has 50% water

mosturize before you put on the foundation.

Also, you can mix your foundation with moisturizer.

[Guest flyaway]

use a base! it makes ur skin smooth so you can put on foundation easier

you can get sephora's for $22 or smashbox's for $36 or something.

people use evian water spray to spray their face before applying foundation

(or else you're supposed to rinse ur face with water and pat dry right before makeup application) = it's to keep the moisture in your skin when applying makeup

I think mixing water with foundation is okay but i don't you'll feel much difference. How about trying tinted moisturizers instead? They're more light so your skin wouldn't feel so tight or irritated. =)
