My favorite Summer foundation

6/21/2011

 
Summer is here and that means it's hotter, a bit more humid here in L.A. and possibly a lot more humid in other parts of the country.  The foundation I was using during the winter and spring isn't going to cut it during the Summer months.  This season, my fave is the Dermaquest liquid Dermaminerals (my color is 3N.)  I've been a big fan of Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizers (both the hydrating, and the oil-free) for a long time, but this Summer I find myslef needing a bit more coverage, a bit more sun screen protection, and am wanting something more natural on my skin.  Since I started carrying the Dermaquest product line this winter I decided it was time to try their foundation.  Low and behold, I love it!  I like the Dermaminerals because the coverage is FLAW-LESS.  Seriously, it has the coverage of mineral powder without any of the dryness or mask-like glow that mineral powders sometimes give you.  It covers blemishes (even scabby ones!) and hyper pigmentation beautifully, but looks like you have nothing on...REALLY!!  It comes in a great pump-tube, so it's mess-free and purse friendly, AND, it's a mineral SPF30, which means the sun protection doesn't break down over the course of the day, as with chemical sunscreens, like avobenzone...the one in most makeups.   The true test, for me, is if the foundation can withstand a day at work, in front the steamer.  While powder minerals usually can, they also tend to get cakey by the end of the day & settle into my fine lines (yes, I admit I have some lines.) This stuff didn't budge. It stayed right where I put it, even after 4 hours of steaming. I give it an A+
