This is great! I am glad you have a better batch going for you! My first foundation stick was also a bit "draggy" with too much powder. Great tip to apply it right after facial oil! I use sticks more as a concealer and occasional foundation because waxes feel a bit heavy for me. I use an oil based foundation I make, similar to Gressa Minimalist serum. With my formula now, I use more titanium and pigment and less sericite and other fillers, but enough for smooth application. I melt my wax and add my oils, then stir in my powders and keep it warm for several minutes with constant stirring (live Gravy lol) before I pour. It has been a fun adventure coming up with a formula! I
Amazing idea! Thank you Bob and Lise. I have to tell that creating a pre-made mixture also works beautifully for creams. When you want to create a mixture of several oils for skin care, Sunshine's it's hard for small batches. But when creating the oils mixture in big quantities, it's easier also to measure the smallest proportions more accurately :)
Help Unknown - I had to Google translate your comment: Thanks for the recipe, I wish to write a base for casting and dissolving and can it have uses other than stick foundation.
You ask if this can be used for other things than a stick foundation.. I would imagine it would work quite well for a stick blush, bronzing stick, or highlighter stick as well. :)
