So, my friend Megan was getting ready to go out for the night. She had just put on her makeup, and was reaching for her concealer to cover up her dark circles. But as she squeezed the tube, nothing came out. “Ugh, I must have forgotten to bring it with me,” she sighed.
She looked around the room for a solution and spotted her moisturizer. “Maybe I can just mix them together,” she thought. And with that, she got to work blending the two products together until they formed a smooth consistency.
After applying the mixture to her skin, Megan was pleasantly surprised. Not only was it easier to blend than when she used them separately, but it also gave her a little bit of coverage. “This might be my new go-to method for covering up my dark circles,” she thought.
Later that night, Megan met up with her friend Lily to show her what she had been working on. “Hey, check this out!” Megan exclaimed as she demonstrated how to mix concealer and moisturizer together. Lily was impressed and decided to give it a try herself.
The two friends spent the rest of the night mixing and blending different concealer and moisturizer combinations, trying to find the perfect formula for each individual skin type. And before they knew it, they had created their very own custom-blended concealer!
