Makeup for the summer - the best light foundations for hot weather

Summer is the time when the complexion can take on a beautiful golden hue. Bare it with a light foundation that will correct any imperfections while allowing the skin to shine and breathe.

In the face of high temperatures, many people are turning away from sleepers. Often, the liquid simply drains or is wiped off the face after a few hours due to increased sweating from the skin. However, not everyone can or wants to exclude this cosmetic product from their makeup during the hottest time of the year. The reasons may be different. Some people tan red and want to hide uneven skin tone. Others, on the other hand, develop sun-related rashes during the summer. However, for many, the foundation is an integral element of makeup, which they simply do not intend to part with for aesthetic reasons.

A foundation can hide these problems while mattifying the complexion, reducing the unsightly shine that is so common during the summer season. However, not every liquid is suitable for summer. How to choose the perfect one?

BB cream - a way to compensate for the heat

BB stands for Beauty Balm, which perfectly captures the essence of this beauty product. This is a compromise between cream and foundation - the product cares and at the same time gently corrects redness and other imperfections.

However, it is worth remembering that BB cream is not suitable for people with skin problems such as acne. The formula will not be able to cover severe discoloration and changes. Products of this type can, however, contain various types of caring ingredients and have a wide range of properties - some matte, others moisturize and even out the color. It is worth looking for creams containing a UVA / UVB filter:

• L'oreal Paris, Bonjour Nudista, BB Face Cream 02 Medium Clair, 30 ml,
• Woga Woga, Glow Natural Moisturizing BB Cream, 30 ml,
• Green Feel's, Medium Matte BB Cream, 50 ml
• Garnier, BB Cream, 5in1 Firming BB Cream for Dark Skin, 40 ml.

CC cream - summer makeup in a light style

CC cream, the cousin of BB cream, is an alternative to tinted balms and foundations. We can say something in between. It's not as light as BB, but it's not as heavy as Fluid either. Nourishes and at the same time corrects the complexion, gently masks imperfections. If you are looking for a summer product that will keep you comfortable in the hottest temperatures while correcting minor changes, CC is the perfect choice:

• Bourjois, 123 Perfect, CC Cream with 3 Corrective Pigments 31 Ivory, 30 ml
• Clinique, Moisture Surge, Medium CC Face Cream, SPF 30, 40 ml,
• Bielenda, Color Control CC, 10 in 1 Body Correcting Cream, 175 ml.

Light base for the summer - our proposals

If you don't like cream compromises and want products with better coverage, try our foundations. They have an ultra-light texture that does not weigh down the skin, and at the same time sticks well to it even in the hottest heat. Once you put them on, you will almost forget that you have anything on your face!

When choosing a foundation for the summer, you should look for matte solutions, but avoid formulas that can overload and overdry. The skin will react to this in the opposite way, producing even more sebum.

The formulas we offer have proven themselves at high temperatures due to their lightness, durability and matting effect, as well as the content of the UV filter. Remember, however, that in many cases such protection is not enough. With a UV15 or 20 filter, it is best to use a cream with a higher makeup filter.

Light Correcting Foundation:

• Douglas Light Covering Foundation with UV15 No. 3 filter,
• Pupa, Like A Doll Perfecting Make-Up Fluid, 020 Light Foundation, SPF 15, 30 ml
• Estee Lauder, Double Wear Nude, 2C2 Pale Almond light foundation, SPF 30, 30 ml,
• Max Factor, Xperience, Light Coverage Foundation, 50 Beige Linen, SPF 10, 30 ml.

Light Matte Foundation:

• Lancome, Teint Idole Ultra Wear Nude, 024 Beige Vanille Light Matte Foundation, 40 ml,
• Revlon, PhotoReady Airbrush, 002 Vanilla Light Mousse Foundation, 39,7 г.

Makeup base for the summer - a way to extend the durability of makeup

If you want to fix the base, you should apply a base under it. This is the easiest way to make permanent summer makeup - without streaks, excess sweat and sebum. Don't worry - the base layer is thin enough to not weigh down the skin. In the holiday season, it is best to use matting primers. They will increase the durability of decorative cosmetics, and at the same time prevent oily sheen in the T-zone.
