I agree with the girls, you can mix it with your moisturizer, use a lighter pressed powder, mix it with a lighter foundation or concealer.

Hmm. I'd mix it with either a lighter shade of concealer or foundation; I don't see why mixing it with a moisturizer would do anything, as moisturizers dry clear. That technique is fairly good for creating your own tinted moisturizer in order to sheer out the coverage of your foundation, but that is all it does. I'd also make sure that the foundation or concealer you mix it with is the same base (silicone or water, normally) so that the finish/longevity is relatively similar, and so that they mix well together.
