Hello beautiful, today I shall be sharing and writing my review of my favourite summer foundations which I have been using this summer.
As its the peak summer time, and temperate outside is just too hot to wear heavy or thick makeup. I have been looking and doing my research about foundations which is ideal for this heat and humidity. I was wearing Huda beauty & Fenty beauty foundations till spring , but as the temperature started to increase and so the humidity these lovely foundations (which are my favourites) were blocking my pores and my skin was just not liking them. The only pure reason was thigh humidity and temperature .
I started looking for foundations which were light weight , medium to light coverage & was breathable and did not give me feeling of something heavy on my face.
As we enter into peak summers, our way of doing makeup & the makeup products changes. Atleast it changes for me. In summers I don't go whole nine yards, e.g. full coverage foundation , cream highlight & contour etc etc. I usually skip most of the steps only cos I want my skin to feel natural and breathe. And at the same time I want it to last long with out melting or having a cakey look. Like a frosting melting from the cake lolxxx ..
So here are my few favourites this year, most of them are not expensive and easily available except Lancome which is a bit pricy but its amazing.
1) Benefit Hello Happy
This is a very new foundation launched by Benefit 's cosmetics in April 2018.
Its sheer to medium coverage foundation and also helps to soft blur any imperfection on skin. It focuses on soft optical blurring spheres and looks like skin and when you wear it actually it feels like nothing on face.
It also has SPF15PA+++ which makes it more suitable for daytime when you just needs to look fresh and without wearing lot of sunscreen. I would suggest to put a good sunscreen before you use this , if you are going to be outside under sun for longer ours.
My personal favourite for day time summer foundation.My shade in this No.6 which is more on medium -tan . These foundations have numbers for their shade card and not actually the name of shades. I bought this in UK, but I m sure jeddah has it in Sephora or Woojoh.
2)KIKO MILANO SKIN TONE
Kiko Milano is a drug store brand and has there own flag ship stores across many cities.They have one in dubai as well, but not in jeddah yet.
This Foundation is very good for all skin types , and has SPF15 . It is a highighting fluid foundation that endows the skin that natural glow and natural beauty. Its a light weight formula which smoothens and perfects the skin. Also keeps the skin hydrated through out the day.
SKIN TONE Foundation comes in 6 different undertones. Its suitable for all skin types.
My shade is WB110 , I am NC 4. As its very light formula which makes it easy to blend and gives a very dewy fresh natural look & feel to the skin.
3) PUR 4 -in-1 TEINTED MOISTURIZER
PUR cosmetics & skin care is a mid range line in the market.
PÃœR products are 100% cruelty-free and we do not test on animals. Bunnies are our friends not our models.

As the name suggests its a TEINT with a moisturizer to give skin healthy and yet light finish .
