I recently purchased a perfect shade of Maybeline Age Defy liquid foundation but it is really heavy looking when applied. I was wondering if I dilute a small amount with water would it be OK?

No. Dilute it with some of your moisturizer. I do it all the time. It feels really light, like you aren't wearing makeup.

Okay, the real answer to this is that if it's water-based, diluting with water would probably be okay.
Otherwise, it's probably better to dilute with moisturizer, as others have said. Mix a bit of the foundation with a few drops of the moisturizer on your hand and apply with a brush/finger.

sure you can anything can be diluted with water.but i don't think its a good idea...my suggestion would be to get a cap ful or like get a contain n dilute it there but pls dont just put water in the whole bottle cause if it doesnt work ur screwed!money down the drain.

O K here's the deal. If IT not working for you anything you do to try to make it work is an improvement... YEAH? maybe try water or a little moisturizer or another old foundation that was working for you???????????????/ At this point can you go wrong?

Yes, it can be done. It's a pain in the butt though. Take it back and tell them you got an allergic reaction. They have to give you a refund as long as you have your bill. But I'd try something else. It's too much trouble to have to do that all the time!

It's okay to do this, but of the ways i have tried it i have found it best to put it on a makeup sponge, then add drops of water to it, right before applying it to your face.

instead of water, i would dilute it with a touch of moisterizer. this makes the makeup more of a sheerer tint instead of being so heavy.

No, I wouldnt recommend it.
Mix in face mosterizer instead, it dilutes it and mosterizes at the same time!

mixing it with a facial mousturizer would make it look a lot more natural
