This question came in from Bionic Beauty reader Chris…
I have some Boots Botanics complexion renewing foundation. I like it a lot, but it has become quite thick. Is there anything I can do to dilute it?
Hi Chris,
First, thanks so much for writing to me with your beauty question. I truly love to hear from my readers!
I would suggest putting some of the makeup/foundation in your hand and then adding a drop or two of Jojoba Oil or your favorite face moisturizer. Swirl it up with your finger and then apply as normal.
You can also use this method with a bit more lotion to create your very own custom Tinted Moisturizer!

Good Friday Everyone!!
I have long thought to ask this question……On weekends I TRY not to use too much make-up or none at all. So instead of make-up I wear moisturizer. I will try the foundation/moisturizer blend. It sounds like a good way to use the last drops of foundation, just pour in some mosturizer…….. Happy Trick or Treating!!!!!
Happy Friday!
I would advise you to spray a little water to your foundation brush…this will make the foundation a little lighter and easy to apply. Give it a try!
Hi Mary, Thanks so much for this tip! Just be careful though with your minerals that you only use the damp brush on something like a countertop (or I use a ceramic saucer). If you swirl your damp brush in your mineral makeup lid, you could introduce bacteria. Also, the Boots foundation is a liquid so you’d have to spritz quite a bit of water onto the brush to make it less viscous… Maybe mixing a few drops of water into the cream foundation in the palm of your hand could work better?
I really appreciate your tip! And happy Friday to you as well!
All the best,
Jami
I LOVE the foundation….but I cant find it again?! It is very thick and rich, but I had no break outs and have VERY sensitive skin. I use a damp cosmetic sponge to apply it. Hope this helps.
Hi Sudie, First… Welcome to Bionic Beauty! Hopefully I’ll continue to see you around the blog.
Do you mean you can’t find the Boots Botanics foundation? Boots makeup is only carried at Target stores in the USA; and at some Duane Reade drugstores in New York City. If it’s another brand of foundation you are thinking of, can you describe the packaging at all?
Thanks, and I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Jami
