Summer Foundations


Hi everyone! Summer is finally here! This post is just a quick look at some great summer foundations. I went away camping for a weekend and got nice and tan so I can finally switch to my darker shades. 


Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream in Light/Medium. If you are looking for a sheer coverage tinted moisturizer, this is the product for you. It has a heavier texture which can be uncomfortable on a humid day, but on a cloudy day this is a great base. It can be worn alone or under foundation. It actually has a really nice semi-matte finish when set with a setting powder, or a dewy finish if worn by itself. 



Vichy Norma Teint Anti-Blemish Foundation in Sand. This foundation is perfect for acne prone skin. It is almost like a serum, very liquid like, but it has great coverage and lasting power. I don't suffer from acne or a lot of pimples, but of I do have a bit of a break out this foundation doesn't irritate it further and keeps it from spreading. 


Clinique Even Better Foundation in Golden Neutral. My go-to foundation for any special events when I want to wear an "actual" foundation. This is a light-medium coverage, it has a natural semi-matte finish, and doesn't need to be set with a powder. It photographs beautifully and the SPF 15 doesn't cause flashback. IT looks incredibly natural both indoors and out, and is just a great all around foundation.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Medium Tint. Since my camping vacation I have actually had to purchase this in a darker shade, Medium-Deep. This BB cream is a sheer-light coverage and has a nice, light texture. It has an SPF30 which is perfect for everyday, and it blends beautifully with all powder and cream products. This what I wear everyday. I have been wearing it since January, and I own it about 4 different shades, none of which have disappointed me. 


Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in C4. I use the powder foundation as my setting powder, as it provides a little extra coverage and I find this powder keeps my face matte for longer. This foundation can be built up to a full coverage and it is a great option for people with oily skin. I have quite dry skin, but I've never had an issue with this foundation sticking to dry patches, or causing my skin to feel parched. I've had this foundation for almost 2 years, used it tons, and I still have barely put a divet in it, so it is worth the investment. 


I hope you enjoyed this post and that it helps you out when you are looking around for a new summer foundation.

Summer Lace OOTD and Natural Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! Today's OOTD is my favourite summer look. Lace, loose waves, and a natural makeup look. It was nice and warm today so I brought out one of my favourite dresses. It is from American Eagle, and was given to me by one of my friends a few years ago. I like that it is strapless as when I am outside enjoying the sunshine I don't have to worry about awkward tan lines! I went with a natural and glowing makeup look today, and I even filmed it for you! You can watch the video below. It is inspired by the gorgeous Gigi Hadid. xx Jess Instagram: jessicakinnari
