The Body Shop: Lightening Shade Adjusting Drops



Everyone must've heard about this little magic potion, that lightens your foundation.
This is one of the best products I have ever invested in.

More about the product:

This product has been designed for people that have light to medium skin tone, but in my opinion anyone can have a foundation which is too dark. Its not the skin-tone that is the problem, its the foundation being to dark or yellow which is the problem.
The product contains white and pink pigments. Which lightens the foundation and reduces the yellowness in the foundation.
There is also a darkening tone available.
The best thing about this product is: you can use it with any liquid foundation, it does not have to be a The Body Shop foundation. I have used it with my Mac foundtion, Maybelline, L'Oreal, ...etc

what does it do?

The lightening shade adjusting drops are made to lighten your foundation to match your skin-tone.
I always have a hard time finding a foundation that matches my skin-tone, either or the foundation is too light or (most of the times) too dark. Then I would end up buying 2 foundations a darker and a lighter shade to mix them up and get the right shade. I have a yellow undertone, but a lot of the foundations make me look too yellow or even worse, orange.
I find it tones down the yellowness, which is just brilliant!
You can even use this with your concealer. Because of the pink pigments, this will conceal and brighten your under eye dark circles. 

How to use?

Shake the product.
I use 1-2 drops, depending on how dark my foundation is.
Mix it well.
Check the color, if its still not light enough add another drop, or if its too light, add a bit of foundation to it.
Apply as usual.

The Lightening shade adjusting drops retail for €17.00 in Republic of Ireland.
This will save you a lot of money and time.

Happy shopping!
