Stay Fresh, Light, and Confident

Summer is here and that means hot weather, more sun, and (let’s be real) sweat. When it’s warm out, your usual foundation might feel heavy or even melt off your face. That’s why it’s important to switch to something lighter and longer-lasting during the summer months.

If you're looking for a foundation that keeps your skin looking great without feeling too thick, we’ve got you covered. Here are some of the best foundations for women to use during summer.

 

1. Estée Lauder Double Wear Sheer Foundation SPF 20

  • Why it’s great: This is a lighter version of the famous Double Wear foundation. It stays on all day, even in heat and humidity.

  • Bonus: It has SPF 20 to help protect your skin from the sun (but still wear sunscreen too!).

2. ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40

  • Why people love it: This is a mix of skincare and makeup. It gives you light coverage while also helping your skin stay soft and healthy.

  • Perfect for: A natural “no-makeup” look with sun protection.

3. Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation

  • Best for: Oily or combination skin.

  • Why it works: It helps control shine and stays in place, even on hot days. Plus, it comes in tons of shades for every skin tone.

4. L’Oréal True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum

  • Great for: Dry or sensitive skin.

  • Why you’ll love it: It feels more like a serum than a foundation. It blends easily and gives your skin a healthy glow.

5. Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless

  • Why it’s awesome: It’s light, helps hide pores, and keeps skin looking fresh—not oily.

  • Bonus: It’s super affordable and available at most drugstores.

Tips for Wearing Foundation in Summer

  • Use a primer: This helps your makeup stay on longer. Try a matte primer if you get oily.

  • Use less product: You don’t need a lot! Spot conceal any areas that need more coverage.

  • Set it: A little powder or setting spray can help your foundation stay in place.

  • Don’t forget sunscreen: Even if your foundation has SPF, you still need to wear sunscreen underneath.

Final Thoughts

In summer, lighter makeup is your best friend. The right foundation will let your skin breathe, stay in place, and keep you glowing all day. Whether you're heading to school, the beach, or out with friends, these picks will help you feel confident and cool.

Enjoy the sunshine and stay glowing!
