Your usual foundation can be made lighter by the addition of other cosmetic items. The outcome will depend on what you use to try to lighten the foundation, so it may require some trial and error before you find both the right mixing agent and the amount needed.

Steps

Using Hand Cream and Cream Eyeshadow

Get your foundation. Place it carefully in an empty tub. Check that the tub has no other product left in it.

Put 2 tablespoons of your usual hand cream into the tub. Mix until the cream is nearly gone, but a bit is still visible.

Put 1/2 a teaspoon of cream eyeshadow into the mixture.

Blend all of the creams together.

Get two pinches of powdered compact. Once again, blend these together.

Mix it all up. When it's ready to go, apply it to your face with your foundation brush, as you otherwise would. If you start mixing and find the shade isn't quite right, try altering the proportions of cream, eyeshadow, face powder, and foundation until you get the right combination.

Finished.

Using Moisturizer or Body Lotion

Get your favorite foundation. Place it into a mixing container. Use only a small amount; you can always add more later.

Get your favorite moisturizer or body lotion. However, do note that it is best to use an unscented version for this fix.

Add a larger amount of moisturizer or body lotion to the foundation.

Stir to combine. Each ingredient should be thoroughly combined. Check the color; add more of either the lotion/moisturizer or the foundation, according to your color need.
