Foundation is one of the most expensive items you need in your makeup bag.  In this dismal economy, not all of us can afford to spend $40 on a new bottle every couple months.

To make foundation last longer, use less than you normally do and mix with a facial moisturizer (or a little water). If you need more coverage on certain spots, you don’t have to buy a separate concealer—just use the foundation straight from the bottle.  Foundation tends to collect at the top, making it more concentrated (perfect for covering darker areas)!
