Let's face it—it's too hot for foundation. With the temperature hitting the upper 30s and 40s, add to that the humidity hovering uncomfortably in the highest percentiles, the last thing you want (but most likely will get) is rivulets of foundation running down your face. Layer it over your sunscreen and concealer, and your makeup will go into full meltdown mode.
To prevent your face from 'melting' and to get an even skin tone with blemish coverage, reach out for a BB cream instead. Foundation's smarter cousin—the BB cream will cover brown spots and blemishes, hydrate your skin and give you some sun protection—all deposited in a light layer on your skin which you are not likely to sweat through.
Depending on your skin type look for mattifying versions (for oily skin) and dewy ones for normal to dry skin. Vogue's curated a list of our favourites.
