Do It Yourself: Tinted Moisturizer

Ever wonder why it's so hard to find just the right foundation and concealer? Mostly because of the different skin tones and complexions. You might have the same colour tone of skin, as the foundation, but the brightness or the texture might be something that doesn't  look natural on you, mostly because it isn't your skin's complexion. That's why many people resort to tinted moisturizer; because it is light, moisturizing, and still gives you a bit of coverage. It is practically a face cream, bronzer, foundation, concealer, and powder, all in one. Although, it doesn't give as much coverage.

It's especially hard for me, personally, to even find a tinted moisturizer. That's why I created this easy, and inexpensive way to find the PERFECT tinted moisturizer!

Lets start off with what we will  need:

A BB cream that you favourite, and prefer.

(Maybelline; Dream Fresh BB cream)

An old makeup brush, that you are willing

to throw out and get dirty.

(Sephora)

An old and empty container you can open up

(Wipes Dispenser)

A lotion you favourite or prefer.

(SPAresource; Coconut Lotion)

An old cup

(IKEA)

Start off by squeezing the lotion into the cup

(use as much as you want, depending

on how much you want in the end)

Now add in the BB cream.

(Continue adding more and more until

you think it's enough)

Mix it all together using the back of your makeup brush.

(Continue adding as you mix, when you reach your skin tone)

Put your mixture into the container, and spread it around.

This last part is optional, but you have the choice

to spray in some perfume, to get rid of the gross

smell most foundations and BB creams have.

Your tinted moisturizer is complete! It is a very helpful, easy

and healthier way to get coverage and hydrate your skin, rather

than having to buy it!

Do it Yourself Bandeau

A bandeau is an item of clothing which looks like a cami, and usually goes under tank tops that are loose or flow, and are very hard to find in your size. Mostly because they all fit differently. Personally, I have never found a bandeau that has fit me well and perfectly, which is why I created an easy DIY to to help me.

What will we need?

-Any type of fabric

(Fabric Land for 75 cents, Polyester)

Glue gun and glue sticks

(Dollarama, 1 dollar)

A Pin Bracelet and 2 safety pins

(Dollarama 2 dollars)

Needle and a Thread

(Fabric Land; have many needles if they break)

A button or a clip 

(Dollarama)

A zipper if you know how to sew it on

(Walmart, $14.00)

Any Iron on accessories

(Iron on sequins from Dollarama)

Lay out your fabric, and measure the width

or your chest. Sew the edges

in so there are no frays. 

Pinch the bandeau in the middle,

and sew it in place, or hot glue gun it.

Put another fabric from an old

and thick t-shirt behind the bandeau

for extra support and to avoid

any see-through fabrics!

Using a sharpie, trace the button size onto the bandeau

and cut it out. Attach the zipper, button, or clip on the opposite side

by sewing it on.

Your DIY bandeau is complete! It is a MUST HAVE in your closet! You can style it into

a bikini top, or act as a cami if you run out!

I hope you enjoyed this DIY, and I hope it works out for you!

As always, love yourself, make yourself, do it yourself!
