The Best Foundation for Summer '17
With summer now in full swing, it can be really difficult to feel comfortable in a full face. The heat, humidity, and long summer nights call for special measures when it comes down to wearing foundation. Typically, I look for something light which rules out our beloved full-coverage liquid foundations that we swore by in the cooler months. But on the other hand, powder formulas may not give enough coverage and can increase the appearance of pores which are already enlarged due to an increase in oils. I needed to find something that was light, gave good coverage, didn't clog pores, and lasted all day. Thankfully, I succeeded in my journey to find the perfect summer foundation that put these concerns to rest.
I present to you, the Bare Minerals Matte Foundation. This is a loose powder, mineral formula that has SPF 15, buildable coverage, and a matte finish. This foundation has been around for years and is a tried a true. So what makes this foundation a summer essential? Lets take a look.
Loose powder formula
The formula makes this foundation so simple and quick to throw on before you head out to the pool or beach. The powder also does a great job absorbing excess oil which is essential in the heat.
SPF 15
Applying regular sunscreen to your face can be a nightmare, and many people skip it all together; however, sunscreen is the most important part of your skin care regimen. Thankfully, you can forget the greasy, acne-causing liquid formulas and use the sunscreen in this foundation instead. Being out in the sun all day can destroy your skin which is why the SPF 15 is so essential.
Matte Finish
The matte finish in this foundation is beautiful. It isn't overpowering, or cakey at all. It keeps your skin looking oil-free all day. I apply highlighter to the high points of my face to add a little glow.
Buildable Coverage
Whether you want your freckles to peak through or flawless coverage, this foundation does it all. Simply use more or less depending on the desired effect. Pair this with a little more of your favorite concealer to get a super full coverage finish.
Vast Color Selection
It's summer time which means we're all changing color. It can be scary to pick a new foundation shade for a skin tone that you're not used to being; however, Bare Minerals offers one of the largest shade selections I have seen. Whether you're sun kissed, fake tanned, porcelain, or deep toned, Bare Minerals has a shade for you.
Staying Power
One of the most important things to look for in a foundation is staying power, especially in the summer heat when everything seems to be melting off our faces. Thankfully, the Bare Minerals Matte foundation isn't going anywhere. Spray on a little Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, and you're good to go all day!
All in all, I can't say enough good things about this foundation. So many new, flashy products are coming out which can be a distraction from the good old foundations from the past that actually work. This is the best summer foundation, hands down and I highly recommend everyone get their hands on this product ASAP!
