What should I do for foundation in the summer?

Question

I really don't want to go out a buy a whole new color because my skin is tanned. I would go without foundation, but then my skin gets oily VERY, very quickly. Any solutions??

Answer 1

What I have found works for me is using my regular foundation but using a pressed powder shade twice my the color of my foundation and applying the pressed powder with a big "loose" powder brush*(VERY important to apply it with a big brush). This works great because you take control with the powder how much tanner you want to look while looking natural. Ofcourse I follow this using a bronzing blush to my cheeks a very very slightly a hint on my nose, chin, top and sides of my forehead. Allow your foundation at least 5 minutes to dry before applying the powder

Answer 2

You'd in most cases do good with a tinted moisturizer or sheer groundwork. If you could have relatively excellent epidermis, I'd do the tinted moisturizer. It's very gentle--almost not anything--however continues your face from watching too dry. If you could have appreciably asymmetric epidermis however no blemishes, the sheer groundwork is relatively excellent. I use this plenty, and it really works good in conjunction with a ordinary bronzer or blush. If you do not wish to spend plenty of cash, I'd reccomend the Neutrogena Sheer Foundation. It's gentle and lasts for a even as. If you wish to spend slightly extra money, I use Mac Foundation. It's good valued at the additional cash when you've got it!

Answer 3

skip[ the foundation and use a bronzer. It compliments tanned skinned and gives you a pretty summery glow. Try Bronze horizons by Mark. It's two toned and you can choose your colors that will work with your skin color. It works really great and wont make your face oily. email me if u have any questions

Answer 4

well if you dont wan tto get another foundation try mixing some bronzing gel with ur foundation so it matches ur now tan complexion or just bronzer over top, if u want to though just buy a tinted moistrizer with osme mattifying powder over it. i know same here i would not wear make up but then my ksin gets oily heres my trick: carry some oil absorbing sheets (example clean and clear) and just blot of oil during the dy with out ne makeup plus ur skin wont be shiny and for places that need coverage swipe some pressed powder on during the day to, thats what i have been doing, jusyc arrying some carmax and oil sheets and powder (presssed) and ur out the dooor.

Answer 5

You can use bronser on your cheekbones instead of blush, if your foundation is really pale though, i would go buy some inexpensive darker stuff, (just like one shade darker) and mix a little of it at a time with your foundation you have now, untill you get the color that matches your skin,but do the color test outside for the best light.

Answer 6

Try this: get yourself a good concealer to use where you need it. Blend it well as always. Then top it with a translucent LOOSE powder. (Pressed will just give you a chalky look for summer, and plus those little pads harbor bacteria from your pores - yuck!) The loose powder will help even out your skin tone and control oil, but because it's translucent you can wear it no matter how tan you get. Visit a good mall make-up counter to get a translucent shade.

Answer 7

If you don't want to give up your current foundation you could easily adjust the color with a bronzer. However, the Select Tint Foundation by MAC, which is a tinted moisturizer, is perfect for natural looking coverage

Answer 8

Try a powder bronzer. I like Neutrogena Mineral Sheers foundation in Sheer Bronzer. It's a great light and healthy loose powder that even outs your skintone and gives your a sunkissed look. You can also use their other skintones if you don't want a bronzed shade.

Answer 9

i would say that if ur tanned foundation will be hard to find and u could keep ur natural tan glow by using bronzer. there is always the option of going with out it

Answer 10

omg i have the same problem! i'd say that if u HAVE to wear foundation (liquid), wear it. and then apply powder with a powder brush on top. this way, you still have coverage but your shine is gone.

however, if you just need SOMETHING on ur face, i'd use tinted moisturizer (or even regular) and then apply powder with a brush. that should do the trick!!
