- You bought a shade that's too dark for your skintone and can't return it.
- You want to transition your foundation from summer to winter.
- You have pale skin and you can't find a light enough shade.
Illamasqua
Having pale skin, this is a trick I've used with several foundations. My white foundation of choice is Illamasqua's , which I would recommend because of how much pigment it has. You need a tiny little drop, and its texture is on the liquid/runny side, making it easy to mix.
FACE Atelier
FACE Atelier also offers a foundation mixer: their Ultra Foundation is available in , a pure white shade -- you can buy it from with free worldwide shipping.
Manic Panic
As those can be a bit pricy, another great option is Manic Panic's Magic White Dreamtone Foundation, which you can buy on Amazon for under 12$.
To mix my white foundation in with my usual one, I simply use a clean small brush or a toothpick (if I only need a very small drop, a toothpick is a great tool for this!) to scoop a bit out, and use the back of my hand to mix the two foudations. Quick and easy!

The more people go cruelty-free, the sooner we can end animal testing. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for all your research. I always check with your cruelty free list when I’m considering buying new products. There’s nothing more disappointing than finding out a new wonder brand that is being raved about is not cruelty free but at least I can save myself time by cross checking it on your list.
I’ve been looking for this post my entire life – it’s so hard to find such a specific product that’s also cruelty free. My skin is particularly ghostly and most of the foundations with the perfect formula are too dark. Thank you!x
That’s been my experience too! Glad I could help! 🙂
