Foundation for the summer

As well as cosmetics for care, decorative tools for the face also need to be changed according to the season. Light, well concealing flaws and always protects against UV radiation - this should be the perfect foundation for the summer.

No matter how much you want to relax in the summer from cosmetics, there are a lot of reasons to make up in the warm season: evening walks with your loved ones, parties on the beach, photo shoots on vacation. To look good in all these situations, you need to find a high-quality “summer” foundation. Of course, manufacturers of decorative cosmetics usually do not write on packages for summer cream or for winter. One can only refer the agent to the "summer" for a number of signs. For example:

• Light weightless texture.
• Thin and light shine, if the means with the effect of shine.
• The complete absence of smell, because on hot days it is especially important.
• Ability not to clog pores, no spreading.
• SPF is not lower than 20.
• Good covering power (so that it hides, for example, freckles and other "summer" skin problems).
• As a nice bonus - additional skin care: its moisturizing during the day.

Experts do not recommend using summer products with a matting effect, because they tend to clog pores. It is best to buy matting napkins.

Beauty bloggers and fashion magazines regularly update the ratings of "summer" tonal resources. Consider the most popular tools that are recommended for use in the hot season.

• La Roche-Posay "Toleriane Teint" - very light tonal fluid. Recommended for combination skin, which needs additional hydration in some areas during the day. In the composition - thermal water La roche-posay, which is "responsible" for the saturation of the skin with moisture. The tool has the protection of SPF 25, while it mattes very well. According to reviews, it lays down easily, despite the very liquid texture. The effect of the mask does not create.

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

• Another interesting "summer" remedy for Vichy "Capital Soleil" – BB cream with very serious SPF 50. With such a factor of protection, you can safely take this tool, flying to leave in hot countries. They can completely replace the usual tonalniki, but only if the skin is fairly smooth in itself. According to reviews, the tool has a normal texture, very oily, to some customers it seemed bold. A number of girls noted that the skin under it does not breathe. But those to whom the tool came, write that it is easily absorbed, perfectly aligns the skin tone and does not allow it to dry out under the scorching sun. Generally, Capital soleil - more sunscreen than tonal.

• Clarins "True Radiance". Light and liquid tone, which is packaged in a glass bottle with dispenser. UV protection factor - 15. It has a light pleasant aroma. Despite its fluid texture, this is a complete tonalnik, not a fluid. According to reviews, gives the skin a glow, well hides flaws and keeps throughout the day. However, the cream tends to be imprinted on clothing, 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 leveling the tone of the face with a matting effect.You can only apply it with your fingers - the brush will not cope with the texture, and the sponge will simply absorb it. According to reviews, fluid perfectly mattes 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 reddening - additional funds will be needed for their correction. Also, the tool emphasizes peeling, but this can be avoided by applying a more fat cream as a base.

• Lancome "Teint Miracle" - liquid, hypoallergenic cream for sensitive skin, quite liquid. The women appreciated his beautiful shades and excellent effect "glow"- flickering particles that are clearly visible in the package, but on the face create a natural and beautiful glow. The tool masks the flaws well, has SPF 15. The main drawback, judging by the reviews, is the difficulty in applying. Applied solo, this cream begins to flow after a while, sticking to the skin in spots. To "keep" it on the skin, you will need either a base for make-up, or a good matte powder. Layering is not the best option for summer.

If the skin condition allows, in the summer you can save on cosmetics. BB and CC cream from budget brands can be excellent helpers in creating a light makeup 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 tonalnik, which has always been considered “summer” - Max Factor "Facefinity 3 in 1" (primer, concealer, coating). Compared with fluids, the cream is rather dense and has a very strong matting effect. It can be recommended for oily and problem skin. However, in order to look “in trend,” you will additionally need a highlighter or powder with a shine effect.

For those whose skin is almost perfect, there is an excellent replacement for foundation for the summer - powder. When applied solo, it will not give any mask effect, will accentuate the tan, give shine and relieve from oily shine. Traditionally popular powders Pupa - Many beauty bloggers consider them the ideal value for money. For the summer is suitable "Extreme matt"- a compact tool with a matting effect. A lot of good reviews about powder Clinique "Almost Powder". Means well hides skin imperfections, lays down very smoothly, without emphasizing the hairs on the face or scaly areas. It has SPF 15.

Summer is a small life, and for skin this statement is also very fair. With the onset of heat, not only the care, but also the make-up technique changes.

In order for the skin to look good under any means, of course, it is important that it be healthy and well-groomed. Three “whales” of care - cleansing-moisturizing-nutrition - in the summer remain 100% relevant. It is necessary to pay special attention to moisture, choosing light and rich creams with natural ingredients.

If you chose a make-up cream, it is better to apply it with a wet sponge - this will allow you to spend money sparingly and not to overdo it with cosmetics. In addition, this coating will look visually easier. Fluid, as well as BB and CC creams are usually applied by hand.

Many beauty experts vote for "multifunctional" explosives and SS-funds for the summer, because in the warm season, the skin is prone to the manifestation of spots. Somewhere there is redness, somewhere not too flat lay tan, stood out freckles. At each site to pick up the shade is impossible. That is why well suited to the skin of agents BB and CC.

Often girls, choosing a suitable tone for summer, pay too much attention to SPF. However, this is not the main factor. Its presence in the tool - 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 as on vacation. Therefore, if you pick up a cream for trips to work, focus on the shade and opacity 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 an SPF. Dark-skinned women can afford protection factors. 30 or 20and porcelain pupae - not lower 50. The longer you are on the seashore, the sun becomes more harmless for you: in a week you can reduce the SPF and switch to lighter means.

The less makeup 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 means separately hold on the face is not as good as together: be prepared to correct makeup. If you decide to use a solo tone, pay attention to matting napkins. They will help to hide the oily sheen in the absence of powder, although they partially remove the cream with them.

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

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