7 Best Foundations for Summer
With summer quickly approaching, you might have started thinking about transitioning your makeup routine. And while your first instinct might be to reach for a lighter, sheer foundation for the warmer months, it’s also possible to keep your full-coverage foundation and your sanity, too. The key to rocking a full-coverage foundation during the summer is a longwearing, sweat-proof formula, a powder to lock in your look and a setting spray that will help your beat withstand a full day of activities.
With that in mind, we’ve rounded up the best sweat-proof summer foundations money can buy, ahead:
