Foundation too dark? Try this!

So I was obsessed with MAC Pro Longwear however I've been neglecting it because I bought it when it came out in September and I was still pretty dark. But then I googled how to lighten foundation and it turns out mixing it with lotion helps! Take a look:


You can see how dark PLW is in the bottle and mixed with my Aveeno lotion, it lightened up, but the true test was will it be okay on my face


I <3 it, its perfect for me now. It's too much work mixing but I'll save it for when I run out of my MUFE and EL foundations which are my top favorite.
Basically I mixed the foundation and lotion on one of my Sephora mirrors, stippled it on, then buffed it with my kabuki for even coverage.
On my cheeks I am wearing Posey blushcreme with a blush from my CS palette on top. My lips are NYX l/g in Strawberry.
xoxo off to school =(
