Wrong shade of foundation

What a waste of my money! My first online purchase of makeup - a great website, great freebies, excellent support and service, but to my horror, I have blown off my money on the wrong shade of foundation. Not one or two but almost four shades darker than my skin tone :'(
What am I supposed to do with it?
I will try mixing it in with my moisturizer and see if I can use it
I will also try using it for contouring purposes, although I must confess I have never done that before.
I got a free lipstick with it which is a good shade and has a very nice fruity smell to it. My camera is broken so I have no pics to upload.
But do comment on any ideas you have on how I can make use of my very dark foundation.
Lesson - never buy directly online unless you are 100% sure of the shade

  1. Hi Shilpa,
    You can use Ivory shade of Compact/loose powder, to counter the Darkness of the shade. IF it's not too dark.
    This is what I always do. =)
