Can I use Extra Virgin Olive oil with my foundation?

Just a small dap to make my skin extra moist?

Or is it best to put it on my face first and then apply my foundation?

I have really dry skin && i've been using this stuff is incredible!

But now im thinking maybe to mix a lil in with my foundation.

Please help?

Update:

Also my foundation is oil based so it will blend well with it.

    I'm sorry, but Vitamin E is great for your skin and olive oil is enriched with it so I have no clue what the others are talking about!, Olive oil is an ancient beauty secret, it helps maintain elasticity of the skin and promotes a smooth, healthy and radiant complexion. As for mixing olive oil with foundation, make sure you don't get too generous with the olive oil and over saturate it as it will probably break down the makeup, get too greasy over a period of time or the longevity of the foundation will be minimal, you are aiming for a subtle dewy glow and not oily, greasy mess! :) You can also opt for a tinted moisturiser or mix your foundation with moisturiser for less coverage.

    hope I helped xx

    Oil actually breaks down most makeup, so if you mix it with your foundation it'll either only make a mess or fade really quickly. You could try using a very tiny bit and letting it sink in for a while before you put on your makeup though. For example, try washing your face as soon as you get up and apply that tiny amount. Then get dressed, eat, do your hair, brush your teeth, all that good stuff, then put your makeup on last. By then most of the oil should have absorbed into your skin and it won't act so badly with your makeup. Good luck!

    it is the final stuff I truthfully have ever used! i'm 21 so i've got spent lots on attempting diverse products and then somebody reported i exploit this and it works greater helpful than something and it is so much less costly. you need to use it for eye and face make up, purely positioned some on your hand and unfold it around your face or use a cotton ball to place it on then wash it off with water and a face fabric to make sure there is none left in the back of. it makes your dermis somewhat mushy so it is great to your face. solid success!

    You can mix it in with your foundation and it will not clog your pores so don't worry about acne. Also you can use the olive oil to remove make up and clean your brushes hope this helps
