You can use powdered mineral foundation or liquid foundation to make the tinted moisturizer. You can use plain facial moisturizer or you can use BB cream or CC cream as the foundation. Keep in mind BB cream and CC cream already have pigment in them so you may only need a small amount. You can also make your own tinted moisturizer by adding a few drops of SPF 30 or higher sunscreen in with a dime or quarter sized amount of foundation.
You can use liquid or powdered bronzer to make the tinted moisturizer.
If the shade is not quite right, you can add more foundation or more moisturizer. If you need a lighter color, add more moisturizer. If you need a darker color, add more foundation.
Then, add ⅛ teaspoon of the other spices at time. Try to make the mixture as close to your skin tone as possible. Add more or less spices as needed. You can test the color by dipping a foundation brush into the bowl and brush it lightly on your face, or you can try to get the color to match a foundation color that looks good on you. Adjust the color until it matches your skin tone or the foundation. Finish the homemade foundation by adding the lavender oil and whisking well to combine.
Avoid using coconut oil if you have oily or acne-prone skin as it may clog your pores.
If you have normal or dry skin, you can add 15 drops total of nourishing oil.
You can add more nourishing oils if you want the moisturizer to have a thinner consistency. Add up to 10 drops of nourishing oil until the moisturizer is the consistency you want.
Chill the tinted moisturizer before using it. Let the tinted moisturizer solidify in the fridge. If you live in a warmer climate, keep the moisturizer in the refrigerator or somewhere cool and shaded. This will prevent the ingredients in the tinted moisturizer from separating.
Make sure you wash and dry your face before applying the tinted moisturizer.
Always wash your hands as well before using them to apply tinted moisturizer to your face. Try not to rub the moisturizer too hard on your skin when you apply it. This can lead to irritation and red spots on your skin.
Work quickly so the tinted moisturizer does not start to clump up or dry on the makeup brush. If this happens, you may need to wash the makeup brush and reapply the tinted foundation. Using a sponge may also make it easier for you to blend the makeup into hard to reach areas, such as around your nose, under eye area, and chin.
