Re: MOISTURIZER WITH A TOUCH OF COVERAGE

[Guest guest]

Have you tried the mineral cosmetics? They mention on their ads that many

people mix in a few with a moisturizer and apply that way ... just a thought in

the name of simplicity ...

It would help if you posted the ingredient list. If your lotion isn't

moisturizing enough, I would add or increase the humectants in your formula.

Glycerin is a popular

hucmectant.

Increasing the oil phase or increasing the viscosity of your oil phase will make

your product thicker and more opaque. It will also incease the emmoliency of

your cream/lotion

which would help moisturize the skin.

When you say that you want to get coverage and want to even out the skin tone, I

think of adding pigments and lakes. I believe their are some vendors that sell

cosmetic lakes

to homecrafters. You may have a problem getting the lakes milled and dispersed.

I would bet its just fine as is. I use moisturizer under my makeup. I have

never expected my moisturzier to replace my makeup (foundation). I think

colour is a whole nuther ball of wax and for me....I'll just continue to buy

my paint.

Good luck with your search and I hope it works out for you!
