Creating My Perfect Summer Foundation With MAKE UP FOREVER's Chromatic Mix ~ Review, Swatches and Demo

I've got a very exciting post for you today! I've been working on this for a few weeks now and I'm finally ready to share my latest discovery - MAKE UP FOR EVER Chromatic Mix!

MAKE UP FOR EVER Chromatic Mix ($17, 13ml) are pigment drops that you can add to your liquid makeup to change its tone or shade. Chromatic Mix is available in 6 shades and two formulas (oil or water based).

Every summer I slather my self in self-tanner and I encounter the same dilemma; my face fades quicker than my body. So I always have to purchase a darker shade of foundation for when I tan. Cue MAKE UP FOR EVER Chromatic Mix. Instead of rushing out to buy a new foundation, I can tweak the ones I already have!

Matthew (MAKE UP FOR EVER Talent Relationship Makeup Artist) suggested that I mix half a drop of Chromatic Mix in 02 (yellow) and a full drop of Chromatic Mix 05 (brown) to two full pumps of my Water Blend Foundation (you can read my review of that here).

So is it that straightforward? In a nutshell, yes! The Chromatic Mix is water based and blends into foundation with ease. Once you find out the right amount to mix in to achieve the results you desire you're all set.

I've been mixing and blending Chromatic Mix with quite a few of my foundations and have seen amazing results. I took some photos to show you just how little you need to adjust your foundations.
