While having lunch in a restaurant, I heard a lady exclaim that she won't wear bases this summer because no thanks, she doesn't want to look like a hot mess and feel as if her face is covered with asphalt.

I hope the lady reads this blog post of mine today because I've rounded up some of the new, try- worthy bases for Summer that will make you look and feel pretty without the cakey feeling.



- Bobbi's cult favorite foundation now comes in a super travel- friendly packaging; this one's very light yet provides good coverage, and has high sun protection at SPF 50 PA+++!

2. HAPPY SKIN SS CRÉME SILICONE- FREE FOUNDATION

- Admittedly, silicone feels hot AF on the skin and may trigger skin problems on sensitive and acne- prone skin during summer; for alternative, try this gentle foundation by Happy Skin that's even approved by dermatologists.


- For powder lovers and those who need minimal coverage, try this virtually invisible powder that mattifies skin and gives it a fresh look for hours.

4. THE BODY SHOP FRESH NUDE FOUNDATION

- Fan of dewy foundations? Here's one that will give you that without the slick. Bonus: it's hydrating and feels fresh on the skin to boot!

5. ESTĒE LAUDER DOUBLE WEAR MAKEUP TO GO

- This brilliant product houses liquid foundation in a cushion compact so it will stay fresh and lets you bring it everywhere sans the hassle of bottles. It has a long- wearing, lightweight formula and SPF to boot, making it an ideal foundation for summer, specifically for oily skin.

6. BELO SUNEXPERT TINTED SUNSCREEN

- Belo now offers their best- selling skin care range for summer in makeup form. Sport a fresh, dewy look with expert protection with this new product from Belo; best for road trips and the beach!
