A Lightweight Base That Stays Put

With summer officially here, the heat and humidity are about to test your makeup game. But don’t sweat it! We’ve got the tips you need to keep your base fresh, natural, and locked in all day long.

The Trick: A Lightweight Base That Stays Put

Step 1: Prep Like a Pro

• Start with a lightweight, mattifying or hydrating primer depending on your skin type. It sets the stage for long wear and keeps foundation from slipping.

Step 2: Choose Summer-Friendly Products

• Opt for light-to-medium coverage foundations or skin tints that won’t feel heavy in the heat.

• Cream formulas are great, but make sure to set them well if you're heading outdoors.

Step 3: Lock It In

• Apply foundation using a brush like the 947 Small Foundation for precise blending or the 969 BDHD for multitasking coverage.

• Use a soft brush like the 959 Powder Blending to gently press translucent powder onto areas prone to shine (hello, T-zone!).

Step 4: Set It & Forget It

• A few spritzes of setting spray will help your makeup stay in place without feeling cakey.

Why It Works: Strategic layering, lightweight formulas, and smart tools mean your makeup won't budge—even on the hottest days. It's all about building a breathable base that looks great and lasts.
