Don't use foundation. Instead, use a tinted moisturizer along with concealer where you need it. TMs have a lighter coverage overall than foundation, but I think TMs are easier to wear in the summer when it's much warmer.

I used to feel that way about my makeup. I could tell it was on my skin and I hated it! I agree with shelly! A tinted moisturizer helps a lot or something very light and mattifying (i tended to feel gross when my skin got oily). Sometimes I just use concealer with powder foundation bc it is a light coverage and doesnt feel heavy. But overall, if you feel gross with it on when it's so hot, just dont wear it! :) Your skin will thank you for being able to breathe! :)

Tinted moisturizer is the way to go : )

Seems like you may benefit more from some spot coverage instead of putting foundation over your entire face. I like MAC studio fix concealer. Get a small stiff brush and dot it directly onto any blemishes and then set everything with a light layer of powder. If you really want to have a little coverage on your entire face you might want to go with a mineral makeup that won't slide off in the heat.

som times i notice when i just use conceler that its a little noticable

Try using a concealer then a powder foundation to set it and help it blend in. Make Up Forever Duo Mat Powder has pretty good coverage for a powder.

Tinted moisturizers during summer, definitely. Lightweight, decent coverage (not that I feel I need super full coverage for summer heat), and it does the job.

Not sure if the Hard Candy product is still available, but I recently tried this combo I made up the other day. I used Hard Candy's Glamazon Bronze Illuminizer and a bit of my moisturizer. Blended that in and worked great for me! I loved the minimal coverage and dewy finish it gave me.

i agree with everyone else. if you are dead set on using a foundation, neutrogena healthy skin liquid make up is pretty lightweight and good for summer. also has spf :) but i do the tinted moisturizer thing now and then touch up anything bad with concealer. if you want a little more coverage, go with a powder that has pigmentation ontop of the tinted moisturizer and concealer

If you wear a full coverage foundation then shoot for a lighter one, or use a tinted face powder and use that as your foundation.

I would definatly try a tinted moisterizer or even mineral foundation because it is wet like liquid foundation

Go simple & use a tinted moisturizer, & or POWDER foundation.
They both are easy on the skin, & you won't have to worry about them falling off your face! (;

I use Origins Vitazing, a tinted moisturizer, I believe it is SPF 35 and it works like a charm!

I've been using the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Sheer Glow tinted moisturizer. I really like it, it has a decent amount of coverage and does indeed give you a healthy pretty glow. Also it has spf 30. Which is great since I'm very fair skinned.
