"My intention behind the Mixturizer was to create a multi-purpose skin enhancer to help prime skin for the next step"
As a makeup artist and product developer, I like to create solution-based products with many uses and little waste.
I knew I wanted something that would not interfere with other products but still create a seamless skin look. That’s why I call Mixturizer an invisible medium. You can use it with the concealer from my line, or incorporate it into your other routine if you happen to use other products. If you’re looking for the ultimate skincare prep before makeup, you can use the Mixturizer with my Gold Bar for extra smooth skin.

What was your inspiration behind creating the product?
- To carve out a new space in beauty and give you the “pro makeup” product that serves a multitude of uses and feels supple and clean on your skin without breakouts or unwanted shine. It doesn’t get crepey or greasy or streaky!
Can you use mixturizer to touch up throughout the day?
- Of course, I suggest a sponge with a dollop on it to dilute the strength of coverage, then add more as needed for a little pick up
What’s the difference between Mixturizer and a primer?
- Primer makes me think slippery, and I just want it off my face. Something that will peel or crepe up. The Mixturizer works WITH your product to produce excellent results without fail.
What are some creative ways you recommend using the Mixturizer?
- Use with any cream concealer or foundation to customize your face with the perfect amount of coverage “just for you”! Wear it as a primer to hold makeup all day (allow a 60-second dry down time first.) Use it with my Shell Lid Tint on shoulders and décolleté area for a gorgeous sheen. Apply a layer to your face and neck before using why vibrating Gold Bar.
Can I use this in place of a moisturizer?
- I do, however I respect and admire people who stick with their routines for skin care so I would say to try what makes you and your skin feel best.
Is this good for oily skin too?
- Use sparingly but yes it works with all skin types
I love light coverage – but is this still good for those who prefer heavy coverage?
- In my opinion, foundation always looks its best when it looks like is belongs on your skin. With heavy foundation, use less of your product to still get that supple looking “real skin” look.
What are the benefits of the Mixturizer?
- Access to beautiful skin and ways to create it with just one product!
What’s your Mixturizer routine?
- Wash face, dry it by patting it with a gently cloth. Squeezing small amounts to cover portions of my face and neck if I wear alone. If I choose to use a Spot Stick for a tint, I sketch that on after I wash my face then add the Mixturizer with my hand and a sponge to blend. Then a dab of my Cheek Tint, Lid Tint and Khol eyeliner and I am running out the door.
How long will one bottle last me if I use about a small squeeze every day?
- Depends on the scale of your face. Small scale face: roughly 4 months, medium scale face: roughly 3 months and larger scale face: roughly 2.5 to 3 months
What was your favorite part about creating this new product? Tell us your process!
- I always like to find pockets in the beauty space that should exist and don’t. With the Mixturizer, it falls into a completely new category that I am excited to share because of its many versatile uses.
Can I use it daily whether I’m wearing makeup or not?
- Of course! I personally wear it alone myself.
What’s the shelf life of the Mixturizer?
How much of the Mixturizer should I be using when mixing with my concealer?
- Start small for a small area! Squeeze the tube and increase as you go.
Any tips on applying the Mixturizer with your Cheek or Lid Tints?
- I would recommend applying the Mixturizer first, giving it 60 seconds, and then you can apply Spot Sticks and then Cheeks and Lid Tints.
Can this be mixed with any powdered bronzer or shadows or only with creamy textures?
- You can mix it with whatever you want, it just depends on how you blend it. It is all about the amount you chose to use, and your technique and skills with blending, whether that is with a sponge or a brush.
Does this product help your heavy foundation look more skin-like?
