It’s recommended that you use lightweight serums and sticks if you don’t plan on sunbathing at the beach. Your skin will thank you in 20 years. Our recommendations: Nature Republic’s California Aloe Fresh Powdery Sun Stick , Artdeco’s High Protection Hyaluronic Fluid , BOJ’s Matte Sun Stick 2.
Shade match using your cheek Selecting the wrong type of foundation is one of the most common makeup mistakes. When finding the perfect foundation shade, swatch it on your lower cheek near the jawline. This is where you can check if the shade is too dark or light in comparison to your neck while also testing if it has the right coverage formula for you.
Our recommendations: Fenty Beauty Soft’Lit Luminous Foundation , Dior Forever Clean Matte Fou.
