Foundation for summer

Like cosmetics for care, decorative products for the face also need to be changed according to the season. Lightweight, well masking imperfections and always protecting from UV radiation - this should be the perfect foundation for the summer.

No matter how much you want to take a break from cosmetics in the summer, there are a lot of reasons to put on makeup in the warm season: evening walks with loved ones, parties on the beach, photo shoots on vacation. To look good in all these situations, you need to choose a high-quality "summer" foundation. Of course, manufacturers of decorative cosmetics usually do not write summer cream or winter cream on packages. You can only attribute the tool to the "summer" for a number of reasons. For example:

• Light weightless texture.
• Thin and light shine, if the product has a shine effect.
• Complete absence of smell, tk. on hot days this is especially important.
• The ability not to clog pores, no spreading.
• SPF not less than 20.
• Good hiding power (so that it hides, for example, freckles and other "summer" skin problems).
• As a nice bonus - additional skin care: moisturizing it throughout the day.

Experts do not recommend using products with a matting effect in the summer, because. they tend to clog pores. It is best to purchase matting wipes.

Beauty bloggers and fashion magazines regularly update their "summer" foundation ratings. Consider the most popular products that are recommended for use in the hot season.

• La Roche Posay "Toleriane Teint" - very light tonal fluid. Recommended for combination skin that needs extra hydration in some areas throughout the day. Contains thermal water La Roche Posay, which is "responsible" for saturating the skin with moisture. The tool has SPF 25 protection, while it mattes very well. According to reviews, it lays down easily, despite the too liquid texture. Does not create a mask effect.

• "Ideal Teint" by Vichy - another "pharmacy" fluid. Very light texture and the presence of caring components in the composition. According to reviews, the product is more suitable for normal skin without obvious flaws, because. its covering power is small. Many girls noted that the fluid "falls off" from the face during the day. At the same time, it does not clog pores and is pleasant to apply.

• Another interesting "summer" remedy for Vichy "Capital Soleil" – BB cream with a very serious SPF 50. With such a protection factor, you can safely take this remedy when flying on vacation to hot countries. It is quite possible to replace the usual tonalniks with them, but only if the skin is quite even in itself. According to reviews, the product has the usual texture, very oily, some customers found it greasy. A number of girls noted that the skin under it does not breathe.But those who came up with the product write that it is easily absorbed, perfectly evens out skin tone and does not allow it to dry out under the scorching sun. Generally, Capital Soleil More sunscreen than foundation.

• Clarins "True Radiance". Light and liquid tone, which is packaged in a glass bottle with a dispenser. UV protection factor - 15. It has a light pleasant aroma. Despite the liquid texture, this is a full-fledged foundation, not a fluid one. According to reviews, it gives the skin radiance, hides imperfections well and lasts all day. However, the cream tends to be imprinted on clothes, the screen of a mobile phone, and especially sensitive skin sweats. Not recommended for oily skin.

• L'Oreal Paris "Nude Magique Eau De Teint" - liquid means for smoothing the tone of the face with a matting effect. You can apply it only with your fingers - the brush will not cope with the texture, and the sponge will simply absorb it. According to reviews, the fluid perfectly mattifies the skin (many girls do not need powder with it), it is easily distributed and evens out the complexion well. It does not cope with redness - additional funds will be needed to correct them. The product also emphasizes peeling, but this can be avoided by applying a fatter cream as a base.

• Lancome "Teint Miracle" - liquid, hypoallergenic cream for sensitive skin, rather liquid. Customers appreciated its beautiful shades and excellent effect "glow"- shimmering particles that are clearly visible in the package, but on the face they create a natural and beautiful glow. The tool masks flaws well, has SPF 15. The main drawback, judging by the reviews, is the difficulty in application.Applied solo, this cream begins to flow after a while, straying into patches on the skin. To “keep” it on the skin, you will need either a makeup base or a good matte powder. Layering is not the best option for summer.

If the condition of the skin allows, then in the summer you can save on cosmetics. BB and CC creams from budget brands can be great helpers in creating a light make-up for every day. From this series:

• Bourjois 123 CC Cream.
• Rimmel Match Perfection.
• Maybelline Dream Pure BB.

• Lovers of the classics will appreciate the rather old foundation, which has always been considered "summer" - Max Factor "Facefinity 3 in 1" (primer, concealer, coating). Compared to fluids, the cream is dense and has a very strong matting effect. It can be advised for oily and problem skin. However, to look “in trend”, you will additionally need a highlighter or powder with a radiance effect.

For those whose skin is almost perfect, there is an excellent replacement for foundation for the summer - powder. Applied solo, it will not give any effect of a mask, it will emphasize the tan, add radiance and get rid of oily sheen. Powders are traditionally popular Pupa - many beauty bloggers consider them the ideal value for money. Suitable for summerExtreme Matt"- a compact tool with a matting effect. A lot of good reviews about the powder Clinique "Almost Powder". The tool hides skin imperfections well, lays down very evenly, without emphasizing facial hairs or flaky areas. It has SPF 15.

Summer is a small life, and for the skin this saying is also very true. With the onset of heat, not only care changes, but also makeup techniques.

In order for the skin to look good under any product, of course, it is important that it is healthy and well-groomed. Three "whales" of care - cleansing-moisturizing-nutrition - in the summer remain 100% relevant. You need to pay special attention to moisturizing, choosing creams that are light and rich in natural ingredients.

If you have chosen a make-up cream, it is better to apply it with a damp sponge - this will allow you to use the product sparingly and not overdo it with cosmetics. In addition, such a coating will visually look easier. Fluid, as well as BB and CC creams are usually applied by hand.

Many beauty experts vote for “multifunctional” BB and CC products just for the summer, because. in the warm season, the skin is prone to the appearance of spots. Somewhere redness appears, somewhere the tan does not lie too evenly, freckles appear. It is impossible to choose a shade for each area. That is why BB and CC products that “adapt” to the skin are well suited.

Often girls, choosing the right tone for the summer, pay too much attention to SPF. However, this is far from the main factor. Its presence in the tool is a tangible plus. But for urban conditions, even in very hot weather, it is not necessary: ​​after all, in the city we do not spend time in the sun like we do on vacation. Therefore, if you are choosing a cream for going to work, focus on the shade and hiding power of the drug. At the same time, a good SPF, not lower than 20, must be present in your day cream.

The tone that you plan to use on vacation must have SPF. Dark-skinned women can afford protection factors 30 or 20, and porcelain dolls - no lower 50. The longer you are on the coast, the more harmless the sun becomes for you: after a week, you can reduce the SPF and switch to lighter products.

The less cosmetics on the face in the summer, the better. Some experts advise to pay attention to the powder in the solo version, while others - to the tone without powder. Of course, both products individually do not stay on the face as well as together: be prepared to touch up makeup. If you decide to use a solo tone, pay attention to matting wipes. They will help hide the oily sheen in the absence of powder, although they also partially remove the cream with them.

For a beach party or a romantic evening by the sea, you can try to make a complete make-up, taking into account summer features and a hot climate. Based on CC cream or fluid. Accents on the face should be placed with cream blush and the same highlighter. Much more stable than usual, in conditions of high humidity, creamy shadows will also last. All of the above products are applied with fingers, without the use of brushes or applicators at all. Ink is best to prefer moisture resistant. On the lips - apply pigment (tint).

Whatever means for make-up are discussed by beauty experts, they all agree on one thing - for the heat, the ideal makeup is the one that does not exist. Only well-groomed tanned skin without any foundation.
