6 Lightweight Foundations for the Summer Heat | Lifestyle.INQ

OCTOBER 27, 2022

Title Cover (5)

One thing I hate about this heat is how it can make your foundation feel like a humid rubber mask. Tinted moisturizers and creams are great but there are times when you still need full coverage. This is where serum foundations and cushion foundations come in handy.

These formulations combine skincare elements with makeup. Some of them promise more hydration for dry skin while others help combat blemishes.

We’ve rounded up a few products for you to choose from. After all, a good summer makeup kit always needs a good base.

Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Serum Foundation

02 (7)

If you feel that your age is showing on your skin, this one might help you look younger. Formulated with SPF, (the sun’s rays always speed up the aging process) the serum is also made with lychee, bamboo grass, and cordyceps mushroom extracts for smoother and youthful-looking skin. Available at SM City North EDSA.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Nude Cushion Stick Radiant Makeup

04 (8)

For easy on-the-go makeup, this stick needs no extra tools. Dot your you face with the amount you need and blend it using the cushion tip. The Brazilian muru-muru butter and linoleic acid in the formula will make the finish more skin-like while an infusion of gold and south sea pearl will make your skin look naturally radiant. Available at Rustan’s The Beauty Source, Glorietta 4.

If your skin is dull, this cushion foundation might just help you look more alive. The skincare properties in this “refreshes, deeply moistens, and unifies the skin” without making it look like you put on any makeup. Available online.
