LiGHT SUMMER BASES

For me, summer skin is all about flawless and radiant yet natural looking skin. Light bases are often the ones that I usually reach out for. Aside that it makes me feel that my skin can still breath, it also gives a more radiant look. Summer skin for me is all about tinted moisturisers, bb, and cc creams.


The Old Favourite- I discovered Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturiser two years ago and from that time on, I had repurchased it repeatedly. My shade match is perfect and I have no issues with it since then. When applied, it is very light on the skin yet it has a decent sheer coverage which you could built up to medium. It doesn't look cake-y even if you built it up. It also looks natural on the skin as it blends in really well. The range also has 10 shades to choose from and I highly recommend that you have your shade match to get the correct shade. I prefer the oil-free version from the original one as the original formula tends to break me out.

The One with Skincare Benefits- The Clarins Hydra-Quench Tinted Moisturiser has Hyaluronic Acid and Katafray Extracts which promotes good hydration to the skin. It also provides a sheer to medium coverage and has a glowy finish. It blends really well with the skin and gives a my skin but better appearance. Aside form its many good attributes, it also has SPF 15. Although it is not a lot, it is something for sun damage protection although I always use an SPF50 before my bases. The Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme CC Cream is one of those products that I didn't get the jest easily. It gives a quiet sheer coverage and I only use it when I am having a really good skin day. It makes your skin appears so glow-y and radiant. Most of the time, I use it as a buffer to any bases that breaks me out and it helps breakouts at bay.

The One with Good SPF- The Vichy Ideal Soleil BB Cream with SPF50 and it offers protection from both UVB and UVA which is what I am really looking for my SPF. It offers a sheer coverage that hides minor imperfections and gives a good amount of glow. I also find that enhances your tan. It is also suitable for normal skin as well as dry and sensitive skin. It also feels really lovely on the skin. At times where I need more coverage, I use it as my my SPF cover and adds a base on top. It doesn't really change the consistency of any base. Instead, it adds a nice glow from within.

The Do It All- The Nars Pure Tinted Moisturiser is the one that offers a decent coverage and has the right amount of glow without looking greasy. The range has also a wide shade range in which you can choose from. It doesn't slide from the face despite the warm weather. It also feels light on the skin. This is oil-free but feels hydrating on the skin as well.


So these are my light summer bases recommendations. What are your favourite summer bases so far?
