On the bareMinerals website, the brand gives an explanation on why the foundation is such a people pleaser: "Perfect for busy women and mums on-the-go, our award-winning tinted moisturiser can double as a face primer, makes a lovely, lightweight foundation for a day at the beach and also provides a gorgeous, post-workout glow."
During the summer months, many holiday–lovers want to look preened and perfect in the sun, without appearing caked in makeup. HELLO! spoke to SJ Froom - bareMinerals International Make-up Artist – who gave us the lowdown about looking polished in the heat: "Both powder and liquid bases are suitable in the heat - the best thing to do is check what works best with your own skin type. Perhaps a lightweight liquid base with a finishing powder will work for you, if you have normal to dry skin. I personally like a more mattifying powder foundation like bareMinerals Original Foundation in the heat, which keeps shine at bay whilst still evening out the skin tone," she explained.
