Regardless of whether you love it or hate it, summer’s almost upon us—and now is the time to plan that beach vacay, invest in breezy cottons and switch your makeup and skincare to lighter formulations. Hot, humid days can take a toll on your makeup look, and make your base appear patchy or cakey after just a few hours of wear. Your best bet to avoid this is to go for a lightweight base that is sweat-resistant, feels like a second skin and keeps you looking fresh through the day.
