As Foundation Mixers (Custom Color Matching):

Since these use the same tallow-based formula as your foundation, they blend seamlessly for custom shade creation!

Blending Method:

1. Scrape small amount of foundation onto clean palette or back of hand

2. Add tiny amount of corrector stick color

3. Mix together with spatula or finger

4. The oils have already been melted, so they blend easily

5. If mixture feels too firm (heavy on beeswax), warm briefly between hands or use back of spoon to work it

6. Apply blended mixture to container, then face!

Seasonal Adjustment Strategy: Many people need 2-3 shades throughout the year:

• Base foundation (your best match most of the year)

• Yellow corrector on hand to warm it up in summer

• White corrector to lighten it in winter

This is MORE practical and cost-effective than buying multiple foundation shades!
