[diy] foundation pump

Hello! Back again with a somewhat-review! 

Today's it's on a foundation pump I got for my Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation! It's the best liquid foundation  I've tried, because 

1. Doesn't break me out

2. Lightweight natural finish 

3. Good coverage (yes it applies liquid dries powdery and covers really well. 2. and 3. don't contradict, you have to try this out to see the wonders for yourself) 

4. Doesn't transfer onto clothes nor "melt" off the face= dance costume friendly, and clothes friendly(: 

...and the list goes on... 

Unfortunately what I did not like about this product was that the bottle doesn't come with a pump. ): means you either always dispense too much or too little and it's not the most hygienic dispensing method. 

To solve the problem, I read up online on makeupalley and a few other blogs to see what beauty gurus out there did, and I decided to try for myself! 

Got myself the MAC foundation pump from a MAC counter just to be extra safe! (Cost me SGD 9 from Isetan.) it's just a black pump with a tube that sticks into the bottle to suck up the foundation (: 

We're ready to begin! 

My foundation, the pump, cotton pad, scissors and some rubbing alcohol. 

Because the tube was too long (the Estée Lauder bottles are shorter than the Mac ones), I cut 1cm off my tube diagonally! 

Wiped it with rubbing alcohol because I don't think the scissors were super clean heh. 

And the moment of truth! 

It fit perfectly! Love my "improved" foundation! Especially the very sleek MAC foundation pump which has a lock function (no worries about accidentally pumping and wasting foundation) and a teeny cap! 

I realised later MAC and Estée Lauder share the same parent company so maybe that's why the head fit on Estée Lauder bottle!

Very very good idea, although the pump head is a little pricey! And it's a bit strange-looking. Gold would have been a little more attractive for the matte bottle. 

Other than that it achieves it's function and I am super pleased for newfound convenience! 

Thank you all the beauty gurus out there for teaching me hehe.  Hope y'all had a great weekend! Honestly not looking forward to tutorial-heavy Monday :P but hey, it's a new week again!
