Comments: This is one of my favorite innovations. I didn't invent it by any means, I saw a post on LP that said you could make your own TM by adding a few drops of liquid foundation to your favorite moisturizer. What gets me is how well that works. You have exactly the right moisturizer, colored with precisely the right foundation.

I've made several batches of this...I started out chicken, because I thought the stuff would dry out. It doesn't though, just put it into a small container with a screw-on lid. Try to use a shallow container since you have to dip your finger into it.

Here is my personal recipe for a TM:

Neutrogena Combination Skin moisturizer: 6 parts
L'Oreal Futur-e Moisturizer: 3 parts
Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunblock SPF 17: 1 part
L'Oreal Feel Naturale foundation: 2 parts

Of course there is no need to go out and buy these particular products. They happen to work for me (oily/combo, acne-prone skin) but the general proportions are 2 parts foundation to 10 parts moisturizer/sunscreen. Start out with a small batch, less than a teaspoonful--you need only a few dabs to test your mixture.
