Step 1. Determine what you need

If a foundation is too dark, you need to intervene by adding a lighter color, in order to reduce the pigmentation and make it more similar to your complexion. This means that you will have to use light colored cosmetics that can change the tone of the foundation and lighten it.

Advice

  • If you prepare more than you need, store it in a clean, airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place.
  • In the first method, if you deem it necessary, you can use a sunscreen instead of one for your hands. However, the hand cream mixes better and helps you get a lighter foundation.
