When the seasons change, it’s a good time to switch up your makeup.
Those with skin that behaves throughout the year may stick to the same formula of foundation all year round. But for those that experience an oily t-zone through the Summer, dry patches in the cooler months and month-to-month redness and spots may need to tweak their makeup.
Choices are endless when it comes to discovering a new foundation favourite. Here are a few of my picks for foundations that will fit in with your every seasonal need.
Light – Medium Coverage
A lightweight formula will give you subtle coverage during the warmer months over sunscreen without feeling heavy. Most lighter foundations are packed with nourishing ingredients including vitamin E and hyaluronic acid to maintain the health of the skin. The result is a dewy finish that will give you a natural look.
Expert tip: Buildable coverage can be achieved with many lighter formulas so you can achieve the finish you desire. Great for oily-prone skin types.

Medium to Full Coverage
Special events and nights on the town call for a flawless look. A long-wear foundation acts as a base for smooth makeup application and photo-ready moments.
With the benefit of a matte finish, these foundations are perfect for adding different make-up textures, giving you a lasting makeup look.
Expert tip: If you’re switching to a heavier foundation, start with a small amount and build up to your desired coverage. These picks are satin soft and will blend without caking or settling into surface wrinkles – Ideal for dry skin types.
