Summer foundation?

I'm trying to plan ahead for summer and I want to find a good summer foundation. I have really medium, really oily skin with yellow undertones and want to find a foundation/BB Cream/CC Cream/Tinted Moisturizer that has light-medium coverage that feels lightweight on the skin and handles the heat of the summer and my oily skin, does anyone have anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Re: Summer foundation?

MAC recently came out with a new foundation called Next to Nothing which has beautiful light-bordering-on-medium coverage. I literally just bought it yesterday so I can't really give it my personal recommendation yet but for the one night I wore it I loved it. Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation is also a gorgeous light/mediumish foundation that's great for summer.

Hi @LaraHill,

 

If you can, I'd recommend an oil controlling primer to go along with a BB cream or other face product as this helps your makeup last through heat and keep the oil at bay. (: 

 

CLINIQUE Acne Solutions BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40 is a weightless mattifying BB cream to camouflage and hydrate. It has a non-greasy texture that eliminates shine throught the day and minimizes the look of pores. 

 

NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 30 provides medium, buildable coverage and a soft-matte finish. It has an oil-free formula and transparent blurring powders to blur imperfections. 

 

 

XOXO,
Marieke

Re: Summer foundation?

Your skincare can be causing the excess oiliness, which would need tweaked so makeup works better. When you first wake/after cleansing only how your skin feel?

Re: Summer foundation?

I use a Juice Beauty face wash in the morning which was recommended to me by my esthetician, but after I use it, my skin feels normal. It doesn't feel dry or oily. 

Re: Summer foundation?

I have the same concerns as @LaraHill when I wake up after cleansing, my face feels dry But even after adding make up or not adding make up it can start to get oily within half an hour! I used to use the clinique 3 step and recently switched to the Olehenriksen Balance It All Set, I have seen an improvement but not substantial. Any further suggestions?
