Should i wear a diffrfnt shade of foundation in the summer?

think it may be too pale now the good weather is here, but i dont want it too look tooo dark and have a tide mark , lol. advice please on choosing the right one.Should i wear a diffrfnt shade of foundation in the summer?
Nope, foundation isn't for changing the colour of your complexion, you have to wear the colour that's meant for your skin tone, I wear Ivory which is one of the lightest shades but I dont want tide makes round my jawbone, I look to pale for summer to I have just started putting fake tan on before I go to bed then when my tan has built up i can get away with just wearing concealer here and there and a bit of bronzer.


Dont tan your face with real sun you should always check that there is SPF protection in your foundation, eye cream and facial moisturiser you dont want to look wrinkley before your time!!!Should i wear a diffrfnt shade of foundation in the summer?
What I do is have one paler shade of foundation and one slightly darker shade and i mix the 2 together. I mix some of it to my moisturiser and put that on my neck (so no tide marks) and put a little bit of bronzer on top.
i usually buy a foundation 2 shades darker than one i usually use.





i mix a little of both together each time i put it on..... and as the rest of ur body colours in the summer (tanning) just add a little more of the darker one to ur normal one until u end up just needing the new darker one on its own.





hope this helps. works for me.

i wear make up everyday, full face, but tend to leave the foundation during the summer months unless i'm going out at night, this is ideal time to get a bit of colour naturally andlet your skin breathe, you will achieve a healthy glow just by going about your day to day business, your colour changes weekly during the summerso keeping up with i is almost impossible, use a moisturiser with a little colour in it, thats the easiest way, i use the garnier one, it gives you a tad of colour each time, that way it ';keeps up';with your skin colour as you tan. does this make sense????
Beauticians recommend a tinted moisturiser for the summer, it doesn't give as full coverage as a foundation,and looks more natural .Choose one with an SPF if you can!

YES,YES,YES, make sure it has pf rating to protect your skin from sun damage . you can start out just adding a little darker shade with your winter shade .Gradually go darker as your skin naturally darkens. Be sure and use sun screen at least 15 on face .39 or more on other exposed skin .The more you protect your skin now ,the younger and wrinkle Free you'll be later . I like the spay on tans .they look good and won't damage your skin. Wear a hat to protect your hair too.
No, keep the same foundation and use bronzer to add colout to your face. Or use johnsons summer face moisturiser xx
i wouldnt use foundation in the summer at all , then you face will tan and your skn will look fab
u should wear a tinted moisturizer.


Try Rebal by benfit!
yes you should use a slightly darker shade in the summertime.


personally i use a tinted moisturizer with an sunblock in it because of perspiration i like to keep fresh in the heat foundation would be too heavy. and makes me feel kind of sticky
You can go with a slightly darker shade, but I would recommend switching from foundation to a tinted moisturizer. It isn't as heavy and blends well with your skin and the same bottle will work even if you get a little tan. Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Enhancer is great, has sunscreen also.
Boots No. 7 Intelligent Colour is a good choice all year round. I don't know how it works but it is fairly sheer and seems to match my skin tone whether I have a tan or not. Very good for the summer.
if you are tanning then yes a different foundation is needed. i would reccomend one of those tinted moisturisers that builds a tan and if you need it you can get powders that match skin tone ive seen a loreal and avon version and they are quite cheap.
