How to Lighten Foundation With a White Mixer

To lighten foundation with a white mixer, add a very small amount of the white base to your foundation, mix thoroughly, and test the color on your jawline. Add more white a little at a time until the shade matches. A white base is also used on its own or in larger amounts for stage and cosplay looks that need a pale finish.

Why use a white mixer?

  • Your foundation is slightly too dark
  • Your skin is lighter in winter
  • You need a very pale shade for a character look
