How to make this "moisturizer-foundation" work twice as well and last twice as long....
I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon, but rarely take the time to write positive reviews. However, in this case, I thought my experience would be helpful to others who have ever purchased IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation Full Coverage Moisturizer and found it too thick and rich. When I first began using it over a year ago, I found that my wrinkles would fill with this creamy product during the day, which at age 64 was not a look I was after... so before applying it, I began to dilute it by blending it in the palm of my hand 50% with my moisturizer (a lovely Paula's Choice product) resulting in the loveliest texture and coverage I've had in many years. To set the moisturizer-foundation, I dusted my face lightly with my usual powder and it lasts all day. My skin looks great and it's easy to add extra coverage to areas that need it.
A marvelous side benefit is that this pricey moisturizer-foundation has lasted me for a very long time. I stretch the product even more by snipping the end from my nearly-empty tube, folding over the end, and closing with a small binder clip. With a long cotton swab, nearly an additional month's use of product can be harvested. My skin looks great and it's easy to add extra coverage to areas that need it.
