glow foundation

Post by packgal » Mon Apr 06, 2009 4:41 pm

i was wondering if the new glow foundation base was definitely meant to be mixed in with one of the other bases? i noticed that is how it is working for some. would it be too glowy by itself, and how is the coverage? i thought i remembered reading that jen said it was between the original and medium, but i can't find that post now.

It is not too glowy by itself (for me). It's perfect! I did end up mixing it in with my other foundation, but it's really nice all on its own, too. Coverage seems similar to the original.

BTW - when will this be available in full size? All I can find is the sample size.

Yes, I would like full-size too, please! I mixed it with my medium ivory, about 1 glow:2 ivory ratio, and I like the subtle sheen.

Cool! I'll put it on the site with the new collection! I add just a little to my foundation- but it's absolutely fine to use straight too- that one is personal preference.

Hi, I would like to try the Glow as well and mix some with my already blended foundation. If I add just one scoop to my blend, will this affect the color lightness at all, will it make it much lighter? I don't want to fool with my perfect color mixture but would like a little sheen to it. thank you

Hi purcy!

You will probably have to adjust the color when you add the glow base. It should mix up fairly close to what your other ratio was, though. It might take a little less color with the glow (or just a few more scoops of the glow to your color mix). Since you have a perfect match in the other, I would consider mixing glow on its own and then adding it to your other mix.
