Summer 2009 Make Up Trend: Radiant, Natural skin - with what you already have

An easy and free way to get the perfect, natural looking and radiant skin seen on the runways for Summer 2009 is to blend your foundation with your moisturizer. You can either make a bigger batch and keep it in an air tight container for easy access in the mornings (like I have) or mix what you need in the palm of your hand. If you have the mixture readymade you can adjust the colour as your skin tans throughout spring by adding more foundation.


I've tried this for a week now and have found that it works amazingly well. My skin tone is more even and it mutes imperfections while looking like you don't have make up on. The colour really melts into the skin due to the moisturizer and it lasts all day. The moisturizer also lightens the foundations a few shades so this is also a way to make use of a foundation that's a little dark for you. Last summer's foundation can work for you before you've got the tan required.
