if you dont want to add an entire drop you can put the drop on the palette and mix with a brush in the foundation adding as you go along :D dabbing it in a bit
That's what I was thinking!!
Exactly what I was going to say.
What I went here to say!😂
In my experience with color mixing, it only works if you’re gonna do a large batch like a third or half a bottle of foundation or if you’re doing a single application put the drop in the corner of your mixing plate put your foundation on like you did get a toothpick and dab it in the color and add it that way
Skip the black for darkening, it will always lean gray. I think using a combo of orange and blue would be more effective to darken foundation while being able to control the undertone and keep it natural looking. I really want to try the white as the only foundation I've ever found light enough for my skin is porcelain by aoa, and I've joked for years that white foundation would be the only shade that would potentially work for me. The orange intrigues me as a possible neutralizing color if I ever have an event where I want to cover my tattoos again. I covered them for my wedding but the product I used wasn't really effective, but I also didn't know at the time to use an orange or peach toned base to neutralize the black and blue tones before covering with a skin toned product (in 2005 there wasn't a lot of info available like there is now). I love shop miss a for providing good quality makeup for extremely accessible costs.
I literally tried that as soon as I got the white mixer. A whole blob came out and the texture is just like foundation so it was the obvious thing to do 😂
It looks way better with at least a little flesh color foundation. It looks too chalky and streaky (since your skin peeks through and it's not pure white no matter how light it is.)
If you mix white with the porcelain it will LOOK like pure white on your face even if it's not.
But if you just wanted a really goth or Kabuki look, I think it could work with powder.
Oh also, Revolution Conceal & Contour comes in actual white! It's a concealer but says you can use it as foundation and on their website it appears the "fans" modeling the product are wearing a full face. Could try mixing that with your foundation if you want to go really light with good coverage and a nice finish!
If they are going to make a color for darkening a foundation, I would have thought it would have been brown and not black.
Agreed! Or I am thinking black might work better with darker skin tones foundations because it would deepen the shades without making them an ashen grey color... 🤷♀️ sounds logical in brain 😂 not sure if that would work in reality haha! And as others suggested, maybe try less pigment and dot it next to the foundation and add a tiny amount at a time! Love your videos Zabrena and hope you have a better weekend and week ahead. ❤
Yeah fit me I would think so too. Maybe even a warm leaning deep brown
Yes, and most brands that sell these pigments also have black. It doesn't make sense. Very deep, rich brown is a better choice, and it can be cooled down with blue. Black is going to be too muddy and grey.
I have seen some dark brown/tan shades, but the black doesn't need to exist lol
They should sell the other primary colors and a brown that is an equal mix of the primary colors
IMO and having MUA friends in Hollywood, LA Girl is far superior. Its best to put the foundation on the palette and the color corrector in a different spot nearby. Then it's a gradual mix--toothpick sized drops. I am very fair and can wear neutral, cool or yellow as long as the foundation colors are fair enough. I have all four pigments and made experiments with four Fit Me Foundations. It made for a fun afternoon. I especially loved lightning up an expensive Lancome foundation my sister bought me which was #140 and I took it down to a #110. I hope this helps one of your viewers. BTW, I bought LA Girl on Amazon.
Such a joy to see you. I am so sorry you had a bad week. Here is to, a better weekend and week to come. Take care :)
Ditto!!
You might try searching for salons that do 'dry' cuts for curly hair: I've had better luck with that as I have hair very similar to yours.
Color pigments are very potent, highly pigmented. 1 drop is a lot. I use blue when a foundation is way too warm and it works well. It does take practice.
…use a toothpick or floss pick to combine the color adjuster & foundation
Thank you for being honest, I've had a crap week, too 😢
I love the Elf Foundation too and wear the shade "beige" in it but sometimes it looks a tad dark on me. So I also got it in the shade "pearl" which is much lighter and mix the two to get the shade just right for me. For six dollars a bottle, it is well worth it! Congratulations on scoring in the top 5, I think you should have won it!
Love your videos. Thank you sharing your faith, remaining positive during difficult times, and making us laugh 😊
A warm foundation plus a blue corrector will result in an olive tone foundation.
I love your videos & your message really spoke to me this week. Thank you for being so transparent. ❤
What about putting the ‘foundation you want to change’ on the palette, and put ‘the drop of change’ separately on the palette, and add in the ‘change’ just a bit at a time?
I would use a spatula to mix the two products, so nothing gets sucked up into your brush.
Yes- I have haircut woes myself! Been cutting it myself using a UA-cam video.
I’m really LOVING seeing more Shop Miss A on your channel ❤❤❤
i use LA colors brand of color adjusting drops. Have for couple years and love them. They’ve really helped me wear a lot of foundations that I bought and ended up being wrong color on me. I’ve even added some into my liquid blushes. Love em!
Thank you for testing these. I have always wanted to add this to a Shop Miss A order so really glad to see you test them :)
I love the white LA Girl mixing pigment! I'm super fair skinned and in the past I missed out on some great foundations because they were too dark. But these days more companies are making more of the lighter and more of the deeper shades that are outside of the light to medium range that they used to love to stick to. But even if I can't find a light enough shade or if I can't tell which shade I should get, I err on the side of a little too dark because I can use the white pigment to lighten it. A little goes a long way so 1 bottle of it lasts a long time.
I use the blue one almost daily and I LOVE it. Almost all of the foundations and concealers in my collection are way too warm (I use more drops of blue than my actual foundations sometimes) because many brands don’t cater to my skin tone and under tone. I think the shade adjuster drops work much better on deeper complexion products.
No. 7 also sold/sells shade adjusting drops. You can also use a neutral liquid bronzer like Pacifica sunny glow bronzer drops.
My dear Zabrena, accept the bad be thankful for the good. Lots of love for you and your videos❤❤❤
Going through the bad teaches us to appreciate the good, I guess. Here is hoping you have much to appreciate this coming week 😊.
Hi Zabrena! I love your science experiments. Gave me a chuckle.
Blessings to you and yours🙏🌹the blue did make it a cooler ivory, and looked better than the other side without the blue.
Your hair is stunning 😍
Your lashes are so pretty!
I think your hair looks just fine!
I’m curious if the black might be more effective for darkening foundations for people with deeper skin tones. Maybe that’s even the intended use considering very fair skinned people are more likely to need a product for lightening.
for your hair - try to find a local curly community or even black community and ask them to direct you to a curly girl specialist. i have seen so many transformations from stylist who really know how to handle curly hair.
I got the white because I had a foundation that was too dark, but I've also used it as a base for eyeshadow and it's great.
I'm sorry you had a challenging week. Good for you for choosing joy.❤
That Pur foundation looked great, in either “colour”.
the blue one: try touching it to your finger instead of putting a drop in. then, like liquid blush, you can start with the tiniest amount and add if necessary.
I have to tell you I love your hair, I have a 22 year son who have a very curly hair and i showed him your hair an he said mom I she have the most beautiful hair I have ever seen and mom the colour, She is stunning please keep watching he channel and I have done so never missed any thing from you
I think it’s in the air for rough weeks, sorry you had one! I wish you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving. 🦃❤
I love pigment adjusters, I usually use the LA Girl brand. I use a brown to darken not a black.😁
I'm sorry to hear about your bad week! I hope and pray things improve. I love shop miss A and I loved the white drops. I had a foundation that was too dark and it worked beautifully to lighten it but it also neutralized it a little bit. So I ordered the blue and orange. I'm cool toned so I thought the blue would work but instead it's made everything green. Probably because most of my foundations are too yellow. I read in the comments section on the website that people were saying the orange is more red and the orange works better to cool off a foundation. I'm so glad I listened because the orange truly is a red and it made my yellow foundations more pink Especially if I also added white. hope that helps
Lol when you tried the blue one I was cracking up with you
I have pale, desaturated (grey ish) cool olive skin. I use the blue drops every day, they’re the only way I get to have foundation that actually matches.
The blue, for me, works better on anything too saturated and peach. Yellow foundations are still too warm for me even with blue, they just end up warm green, and I usually have to mix in a tiny bit of red with the blue to correct foundations that are too yellow. A Violet mixer would also work.
I'm extremely cool-toned and I can't wait to try that blue one. I hope you're coming week is better than the last.
You can try the blue but I suggest also ordering the orange because in reality it's not orange it's red so it turns the foundation more pink. I'm glad I ordered Both because I don't use the blue even though I'm cool toned. It just turns everything green
The L A girl brand of pigment works great.
Hey Zabrena! Great video! I wanted to ask you how you get the lift at your root, I've noticed you have lift at your hairline on top and the sides? I have the same hair type and texture... long, thick naturally curly and coarse, I use lots of gel and hair spray and dry with a diffuser? Mine always ends up falling not long after I style it. Hope you have a blessed weekend! 💞
I’ve bought the Elf blue to save a warm foundation and make it more cool for me. I also have curly hair, not like yours but I can’t find a good hairdresser either. I trim my own when it’s dry and curled in the places that the curls match up. I get a lot of complements and people can’t believe I do it myself lol
these are such a good idea for summer and not having to buy more expensive foundations
The Elf foundation wasn't a HUGE difference on the face, but I could really tell when you mixed it up. I would suggest if you are going to use these color adjusters that you put a small drop on a toothpick and then mix into the foundation.
I love how lower cost brands are stepping up their game. They’ve had to since Ulta and Sephora made the higher end brands more accessible. For the price and performance, elf is my fave brand. If I could only use one brand for the rest of my life, I’d go with elf.
The white one looked best imo, I wonder if a small amount of black on qtip then in foundation might be effective? Really appreciate your videos. Thank you and God bless.
I'm wondering if the reason the black drops turned out so funky is because the foundation was so fair. Maybe it would work better for someone with medium skin with a bit of a tan, wanting to darken their regular medium shade of foundation. Just a thought.
Did you feel like a mad scientist mixing those? 😂
I brought the blue...cause I am really cool..
Like purple would be good...
Godspeed
Dee
I use LA girl ones and I like them ☺️
The black would be great for custom mixing your own contour though
Have a great weekend and week too.
The best shade adjuster to cool down a yellow/orange foundation was the light blue Nyx stuff which was discontinued. 😢 I bought the blue LA Girl but all i get is a blue face 😮. Guess i need the white one too
Oh Zabrena, I hear ya. I had the best cutter who actually listened to my suggestions but kept showing up late for appts. That was 19 years ago and never found anyone as good. Raquel Welch said many people can style hair but true cutting talent is rather rare. I have yellowy light beige base and concealers.... I was so desperate to customize them I used matte white liquid eyeliner as a lightener ! I gotta say---it didn't turn out too badly.
I would think you could add 1 drop of orange and 1 drop of blue to darken the foundation
I used a mixing drop in an olive tone to darken my foundation before when needed, I think it was from NYX
I think the black drops are for the darkest skin tones. I wish they had a violet and a fuchsia drops shades, because those are my tones. Calamine lotion matches me. LOL
Also, put the drops side by side on the pallet and use a brush handle to drag some over and mix.
Going outside made it so much more noticeable
Love you and your videos! God bless you all and have a happy Thanksgiving!!!
I may have tried to put drops on the palate and then used the tip of a brush to add to the foundation in stages. putting the drops on top of the foundation seems to leave a drop too big for the amount for the foundation.
I was questioning the hues, blue and yellow will make green and black mixed into a light shade will turn grayish. I’ve seen other color correcting type drops that worked, not sold on these ones. Thanks for the review. Hope your week was better and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁
I picked the white drops the other day and I love it. but I do find it makes my foundation mat.
Oh yeah I feel you sweetie….. I am hoping for a better week …..
Coastal Scents had a complete set of color adjusting pigment, they were in squeezy tubes, if I am not mistaking it was quite a bit before LA Girl
I bought an expensive concealer that's a few shade too dark. You think the white drops would work for concealer? Thinking that the drops might bring down the coverage?
That black mixer might be good to make a contour. 🤷🏾♀️ Also i wish they had a yellow one.
HI - what color eye shadow are you wearing and what is the brand? thanks
From what I’ve seen some of those shades in shade adjusters aren’t meant for fair tones. And vice versa the white isn’t meant for dark tones bc it’ll turn their foundation grey. The blue would prob work if you first mixed blue and white and made it a lighter blue before adding to foundation. The full dark blue would work for darker tones. It’s def a higher level skill needed and an understanding of color theory.
The dark blue drops are not specifically for darker tones. You shouldn't pretend to be an expert on something you have no experience with. I have a medium complexion but slightly more on the lighter side of the medium spectrum with neutral olive undertone. Pastel colored (white based) color correctors or shade adjusters don't work on my skintone. And I'm more of a NC30 to NC37 at max and not warm nor cool toned. Without the darker base in these blue pigments I wouldn't be able to adjust the way to warm/golden foundations. So no it's not a case of either for pale or dark skinned people.....
I miss ya girl hope everything is going well ❤
I just use the LA Girls blue drops and work like a charm. Just need the smallest amount. The bottle is a pump and you can (sort of) control what comes out. Several drugstore companies just make everything so yellow/gold. Or, they have one cool tone shade but it’s maybe the first shade. When will they get on board w labeling W, C, N? You can’t see in the store. Can’t see clearly in the bottle. You have to go by the name sometimes. Just label them like L’Oreal. Eesh. ANYWAY, after all that, lol, I do like my blue drops from LA Girl and works great w my red cap CG foundation. 😁
I have a hair appointment tomorrow evening with my bestie and she has very thin, curly hair and has a hard time too! I havent found one person I love yet, since my previous hairstylist moved away!
Zabrena, I will be praying
for you everyday next week …that you will truly have peace! We’ve been going through a similar time. We keep saying there must be a black cloud over our home. But then we realized that since my husband and I are committed to sharing our faith, the guy downstairs wants to find ways to bring us down! John 16:33.
There are so many foundations I can’t wear because the lightest shade is still too dark for my pale skin. My Shop Miss A order is on it!s way as we speak with my white drops, and a lot of fun stocking stuffers!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think I would add orange and blue to make it darker.
I was laughing so hard when you mixed in the blue and the black. The amount of foundation you had to add to the black is ridiculous! 😂😂😂 May be good for Halloween looks if you need a gray or green base. 💁♀️
Bad week!!! My puppy chewed and destroyed my prescription glasses ( using readers for now) AND my back molar broke and had to be extracted today ( ouch)…. And my house is a shambles and in spite of a rowdy pup and a sore sore mouth I must prep for family gathering next week!!!! Ahhhh
💞
This too shall pass❤❤
I’m 61 and don’t wear foundation because I prefer a BB cream and this video was interesting . I never knew they sold these color changing drops. Thank you because I could use it for my concealer.👍🏻
They've been out there for a long time in various formulas but comparatively few makeup lines actually carry these sorts of customizing products.
Hello beautiful Zabrena 😍
The blue can make a yellowed foundation more olive too! I have light olive skin and that's hard to find in drugstore but yellow and blue makes green which is my actual undertone! That black is strange guess gray isn't a good look for anyone😂
I think it would've been more effective with red drops because your undertones are cool leaning red
When you filmed outside for the white drops, I was getting Debra Messing vibes from you.
black turns everything gray. I am an artist and to get black out of another color is tedious work. It def. won't darken another makeup color. Black makes everything muddy. Just saying. But great effort.
Maybe put the drops on the palette separately and touch the brush to the corrector to take it to the foundation. 😅
This feels like maybe if you put a drop of the corrector off to the side and slowly mix in, ala Bob Ross style, they may work better? Meaning a blob of foundation, and a separate blob of the corrector.
Look for a curly hair specialist. That was a game changer for me, now I get great hair cuts for my curly hair.
Try going to salon that specializes in curly hair.
Blue will neutralize an orange foundation with a yellow foundation it will make it more green or olive toned.
The black drop is meant to be use on deep tan, when needed even deeper.
Maybe the shade adjusting drops are so concentrated that one drop is too much for one or two pumps of the foundation one or two drops might be perfect for the bottle of foundation, although that's a risky way to find out 😊
Im kinda thinking from a color wheel perspective - it should have been a Dark red one instead of Blue… because when you are cooltoned you are not more Blue in the skin, you are more pink!! And when you Mix yellow with Blue you should get green!!
While when you Mix a yellow with a Dark red, you really dont get orange, but more of a pink tone….
While if they have a yellow one it would go warmer…
Its weird to me of they dont have a redish one…
Hi from london at 2:46 am
I have hair a lot like yours. Go to a curly hair stylist. Actually ask if they have a stylist for curly hair. Don't settle
Good color theory video. The black is too blue. Adding orange would probably balance it. When I darken a paint I often add brown instead of black or even purple. Almost all blacks have a blue undertone. Even if it didn't, black added to white makes grey. If the foundation you're trying to darken has too little other pigments and a lot of white, it will be grey. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. It's not so easy to change a colour because you also have chemical reactions within the separate formulas. Good concept but too difficult to get your real match. I always have 2 foundations on hand that I like. One is too dark and the other is too light. As the year progresses I can go from winter pale to summer tan without having to have a whole range of colours. I also use those two base foundations to contour and highlight. You get a really smooth transition and less cost. Thankyou for this video. I really enjoyed it a lot. As always, we'll done.❤
love your eye shadow today,, what is it?.
Yes, that's what I was thinking! Such a great shade. Will you tell us Zabrena?
Actually the black shade adjuster is for richer skintones to cool an orangey foundation
Try stylists that work with natural African American hair. It may be a change, but they will be able to help with your hair texture.
The drag lady's knows there stuff. But for us with "normal" foundasions. I agree to mix the foundation and stay away from the black one. "The fancy stuff"
😊
