Let Your Skin Breathe This Summer With These Lightweight Foundations

Hot, humid Indian summers can make your face feel like it is melting away. In such weather, it is best to use lightweight foundations that don't feel heavy or cakey on the skin. If you want to let your skin breathe this summer, you may want to try foundations that are lightweight instead. To prevent excessive sweating and to help the skin look and feel fresh, here are some of our recommendations for lightweight foundations.

This is a classic medium-coverage foundation that can be built-up for extra coverage. It provides a decent finish and you won’t even feel like you are wearing makeup. This is an excellent oil-free, lightweight composition that prevents drying or splitting in the heat. And on top of that this foundation has SPF, so your skin is protected against the harmful rays of the sun when you use it.

This buildable foundation also claims to have skin-fortifying properties that can protect against pollution as well. This makes it ideal for working women who need to travel every day. It is light on the skin and not too opaque. However, despite its claims to be matte, this creamy liquid foundation dries demi-matte, which leaves skin with a subtle glow and dewiness.

3. MAKE UP FOR EVER Water Blend Face & Body Foundation

This foundation is designed to be worn on both the face and the body, and it is meant to feel feathery soft on the skin. Its primary component is water and imparts a radiant and organic finish, making it ideal for people with dry, dehydrated, or combination-dry skin.

This foundation is ideal for makeup looks that call for glowy skin and is rather light. However, it may be built up for greater coverage. You get a light dewy finish that lasts quite a while and doesn't appear greasy or oily. When you spread it on the skin, the texture has a mousse-like consistency and feels like fluffy clouds. There are plenty of options for people with dusky to dark skin tones, and the shade range has a decent offering.
