How to: Make your own Tinted Moisturizer (easy)

I have been told of a tinted moisturizer for quite sometimes, and I know that there is a brand called Laura Mercier with one of their best selling product called the "Tinted moisturizer".

What is a tinted moisturizer?
It is a moisturizer, but the only difference is, it has some color in it. It is quite a skin care foundation that I recognize as. It has a sheer to medium coverage. Laura Mercier came out with few different types of tinted moisturizer to suit different types of skin. 

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer is quite pricey in the market, but don't worry, here you can create one of your very own tinted moisturizer and best suit your skin type.

How to: It is simply easy, all you need to do is just use your favorite moisturizer that suit your skin type then add in your concealer with a right amount. Simply mix this 2 products and blend well on the back of your hand, then voila, the mixture is ready to be apply on a cleaned face. 
*P/S: your concealer has to be a liquid form, as liquid form blends easily.

Optional: If you have a translucent BB cream, you can also try it to replace your moisturizer. This is to create a medium coverage tinted moisturizer.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF 10

A foundation that never melt/smear easily.

Pros about this foundation:
1. It has a good coverage
2. long time wearable
3. easy to apply ( a small amount is enough to apply on my face)
4. does not has a very strong scent
5. I personal think, it even can replace concealer.
6. Waterproof, you even can wear it to swim, I believe
7. not easy to stick on or left on your boyfie's shoulder on the shirt.
8. texture is thick, not very watery but it is a liquid
9. It has many shades for you to choose

Cons about this foundation:
1. It is very thick and super waterproof so might think of that the pores on face might unable to breath.....
2. In removing it, MUST remove it thoroughly, otherwise it might clog your pores.
3. It may be drying out your skin if your skin is dry (not really suitable for dry skin)

Overall rating: 3 stars
Overall comment: to me, I like the fact that it is very wearable for a long time, you no need to touch up your make up so frequently, and it can be wear while swimming. It has a very strong coverage and even can replace concealer.
