The Perfect Summer Foundation
Summer is all about glowing skin and natural-looking makeup, which means changing your palette. Your winter foundation can look too heavy or too dark in the summer, so swap it out for a new formula that will work with your skin and the season.
A tinted moisturizer offers the lightest sheerest finish of any makeup. The flattering, easy formula offers a light amount of coverage paired with just the right amount of hydration. Many come with SPF too making it an easy all-in-one product.
If you want a little more coverage than a tinted moisturizer, a nice summer option is a BB cream. It’s perfect for day or night, hydrates, boasts skin-enhancing ingredients, and provides a medium finish.
If your skin gets oilier in the summer, look for an oil-free product. You can also give your makeup longer staying power with a lightweight powder.
Your skin color changes throughout the year, so you may also need to go a shade darker with your makeup. Don’t get darker makeup to try and look more tan. Your makeup should still match your skin tone perfectly.
However, if you have oily skin, you may have to choose a lighter shade. The oils in your skin can make your foundation change color.
Another option for oily skin is to skip the foundation, and just use a powder that matches your skin tone exactly.
