 THE VERDICT:

All this heat just makes you want to stop wearing foundation for a moment, but that means exposed marks and dull skin. Yikes! That's why I have a lot of foundations on hand for my makeup and products to adapt to any season.

I've discovered a pretty good summer foundation and concealer duo that's gentle to the skin because both have a hypoallergenic formula, lightweight, yet dependable enough to give you even, decent skin without the cakey, heavy, I-feel-I'm-wearing-makeup feeling.

WHAT IS IT?

Skin Adapting Makeup is a liquid foundation that promises to provide lasting coverage without burdening the skin and pores. It comes in 4 shades.

Skin Stick Concealer promises skin- like coverage for concealing of minor imperfections on the under eyes and face. It comes in 4 shades.

 Both products come with box packaging; I'm liking the chic, clean look of this brand!

Top: Concealer; Bottom: Foundation

My closest match in both products is 04; they still look pretty light on me, especially the foundation, but they're quite easy to fix due to their skin- like finish. The concealer has a medium beige shade and light yellow undertone while the foundation is a medium dark shade with a yellow undertone. 

The downside of both products is they don't have SPF to protect your skin so you will need to wear a separate one, but if you're into photography and like using flash, this is good news because it won't give that dreaded white cast. 

HOW IS IT? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

Bare undereye

Two layers of the concealer

I like that this concealer is slightly creamy: it's creamy enough to be blended easily, but not so much that it doesn't run off or move around the skin. Coverage is light to medium and true enough, it does look like skin and is pretty weightless too!

Bare skin

Two layers of the foundation

The foundation has a semi- watery consistency, spreads easily, and has medium coverage, concealing minor discolorations while effectively evening out the skin and giving it a fresh look. It feels very light, but I like the coverage I get from it. Finish is semi- matte.

And here's my fresh summer face featuring both products! Both products are lightweight yet dependable: they give me enough coverage to hide marks, but don't give me that heavy, made- up feeling.

Staying power for both products is good: if you do the necessary priming steps to help your makeup last longer, both products can withstand the day. It doesn't have amazing oil control, but I like that the makeup can stay the entire day on the skin; a retouch or two is what's needed to refresh the skin and coverage.

These products are great summer makeup products to try; another great feature is both are hypoallergenic!
