Foundation feeling heavy in the heat? A makeup artist says this simple trick can help

When your best foundation starts melting into fine lines or losing its glow by lunchtime - which it's particularly prone to doing during sticky summer months - it's tempting to start searching for a new formula. But before you rush to replace it, know that the secret to a fresher-looking base may have less to do with what's in the bottle and more to do with how you're applying it.

As skin matures, it naturally becomes drier and less elastic, which can make makeup appear heavier or more textured than intended. That's why makeup artists often place just as much emphasis on application techniques as they do product choice when creating a seamless, skin-like finish.
