Summer is officially within arm's reach. The days are longer, temps are rising, closets are rotating to playful dresses and vacation countdowns are drawing closer. After securing swimsuits and other must-have items from your seasonal wishlist, you'll also want to up your beauty game with the most important product in your makeup routine — foundation. There's certainly the option of throwing on some concealer and blush over a good moisturizer, but some summer escapades undoubtedly call for that tried-and-true base.
While the concept of wearing foundation in the warmer seasons may seem far-fetched, beauty brands have amped up their formulas to create products that will survive the sun's merciless heat. Yes, foundations that don't run or flake at the first sign of moisture do exist. Skin tints took over the scene in 2021 through Fenty Beauty's release of its Eaze Drop with other brands jumping on the bandwagon almost instantly. Meanwhile, weightless and lightweight foundations that provide your desired coverage while remaining breathable are trending now more than ever, thanks to brands like Laura Mercier, NARS and Anastasia Beverly Hills.
