Instant Wrinkle-Reducing Makeup: Understanding InstantLift and Alternatives

You're asking about creating an instant wrinkle-reducing makeup product, specifically using InstantLift (Sodium Silicate), and how to make it effective, including mixing it into a foundation-like product.

Based on the information provided by the staff:

• InstantLift (Sodium Silicate) has very strict usage requirements. It will not work correctly and will not provide the expected results or texture if not used precisely according to the manufacturer's original formula.
• Your attempts to mix it simply with water, gelling agents (like HEC), or preservatives, or adding it to a ready-made base or foundation, are unlikely to be successful in achieving the desired instant lifting effect or a pleasant texture.
• The staff explicitly stated that InstantLift cannot be mixed with foundation.

Therefore, using InstantLift in simple mixtures or adding it to ready-made bases/foundations is not recommended and will likely not yield the results you're looking for.

The staff recommended Lift-Now (Pullulan) as a suitable alternative.

• Lift-Now (Pullulan) is designed to be mixed into water-based formulas, including products like foundation, to provide an instant lifting effect.

If you want to create a product with a foundation-like texture that offers an instant lifting effect, Lift-Now (Pullulan) would be a much more appropriate ingredient to consider, following its specific usage guidelines.
