In summer, between heat and perspiration, the foundation tends to flow. We want more lightness, then we say goodbye temporarily, and we choose the right alternative for a radiant and light!
BB Cream for a unified skin and a light complexion
Why does it work? First of all because we love its light and liquid texture, which gives us a feeling of bare skin! In addition, it is multi-task: with one application, one unifies the complexion, one gums imperfections and moisturizes the skin. Magic not?
How is it applied? One can either apply it with a brush or place it on the finger. Very easy to handle, it is within the reach of everyone. If you prefer the brush, you put a little bit on the back of the hand, then with a flat brush, apply it all over the face, from the inside out. If you are a fan of make-up on the finger, apply the cream from the inside to the outside of the face, and especially care is taken that all the parts are well covered.
Attention, we always choose a BB Cream of the exact color of our skin ! And if it is difficult to find our color, we can always mix two different shades.

Tinted sunscreen to protect my skin
Why does it work? We can never repeat it enough, we must protect our skin from the rays of the sun. Cosmetics brands offer 2 in 1 products : a tinted sunscreen, which protects, the face and ensures a pretty complexion. They are water-resistant , perfect for skin sensitive to sunlight and are available with high protection ratings. They are therefore perfect for the beach, where we prefer a BB cream for the city.
How is it applied? Like our sunscreen! We put a good layer on all the face and especially, we think to renew the operation during the day to be protected permanently . But be careful to choose it, the priority remains to protect our skin, so the more we have the skin clear and sensitive, the more we choose a strong protection index.

Tinted moisturizer, home made alternative
Why does it work? Because it takes 5 minutes to do. Simply mix our usual foundation and moisturizer for lightness, easy application, and a super lightweight complexion!
How is it applied? Care must be taken that the two textures are identical . For example, a liquid moisturizer with a cream foundation is not mixed. Generally, we count 2/3 of cream for 1/3 of foundation , but we dose according to our desires and our needs. Namely: the more you put on cream and the less the foundation will be covering.
The make-up corrector, to carry a minimum of make up
Why does it work? Because it will camouflage our imperfections, while having a natural , and of course a super light skin feeling ! Combined with a free powder to avoid shining, we are at the top, and especially, our skin breathes !
How is it applied? We take a corrector capable of masking our small imperfections. To find the one that suits you, read our paper on how to choose your corrector?
