Pigment in foundation?

[Kaycee37]

I'm wondering if there is anyone else out there that has tried this??
I have oily , oily skin but still desire that "glowy" look to my skin.

I have tried beauty powders, shimmer powder, msf's but still wasn't 100% on any of it. So I decided to add some pigment in with my foundation to see what that would look like. Since I use Mac's SFF, SS. As well as MUFE HD foundation. I tried vanilla first (not bad okay) and then got a wild hair to try melon. Boy is that pretty! And it gives me the glowy look I'm after.

Just thought I would share and see what other experiments for that "glow" have been uncovered. (lol)

that would be interesting. I had some weird experiences when I mixed my everyday mineral foundation with the smashbox artificial light luminizing lotion and oh boy my face looks glowy and dewy but too bad it didn't give me a really good coverage, I might need to put some more of the EDM but I'll for sure try the pigment in the foundation

I love to experiment! Thank for the idea.

I know people do this with Vanilla pigment with good results. I think it really depends on your skintone. For someone fair/medium Vanilla would be great. But, for someone my complexion I imagine that Melon would be really pretty. Someone with a very deep complexion might look good with a little Chocolate Brown pigment.

i do this as well. i put on my foundation, then i pat a tad bit of the strobe cream on top of my foundation. it gives me a perfect glowy, dewy complexion.

I have milani tiger bronzer...I mix it with my foundation...verry pretty effect.

I do it alllll the time. Although I don't use Vanilla pig for that effect, I use Naked pigment because it's... well, naked with shimmer? I'm an NC37-NC40 so it just looks better on me than vanilla. Try Naked pigment next time!

I remembered xsparkage on youtube once mentioned you can add a bit of vanilla pigment to fix+, I haven't tried it but sounds like a good idea

Well I was actually wondering that about MSFs. I mix MUFE HD powder with my foundation, but I really wanted to try mixing in a bit of So Ceylon or Warmed. I'll try that tomorrow.

I'm going to give this a go cause it sounds like it could be really good! thanks!

A teeny bit of Vanilla looks good on all skin tones, but don't go overboard or else it will be obvious.

Ugh, I tried it with an MSF (Goldspill which I love) and I hated the result.

I mix everything into foundation! Pigment is a great idea. Strobe cream and Clarins INstant light is my fave. And as i'm fake tanning at the mo i mix a bit of no 17 face/body wash off bronzer into the foundation to darken it up a bit. I would also suggetst fix + as it gives a bit of a dewy look
