Beauty Tip: too-dark foundation

I'm sure this has happened to many of you: you buy a bottle of foundation, only to find that the shade is actually too dark. Most of the time, it's easy to return, but what happens when you can't?

Instead of giving the bottle to a friend or throwing it out, try this instead. Mix the too-dark foundation with your favorite moisturizer (the foundation:moisturizer ratio depends on how dark the foundation is, so use your intuition), and voila! You've got a moisturizer that'll give you a sheer glow, perfect for the summer!

I guess this is comparable to a tinted moisturizer, but the plus is that you can mix in as little or as much foundation as you'd like, so using your too-dark foundation isn't a problem.
