#SouthernSummerMakeUp - Foundation

So yesterday I told y'all about my favorite Primers & Setters for surviving steamy Southern summers.

Now on to the foundations. I probably experiment the most here. I have very oily skin so I've tried every form of foundation you can imagine. Here are my favorites. Especially for summer.

Summer Foundation Solutions by rulesforbelles featuring Urban Decay

Bare escentuals skin care / Urban Decay beauty product, $46 / Urban decay cosmetic / Tarte foundation / Benefit foundation / Bare Escentuals matte foundation / Benefit makeup primer, $42 / Tarte translucent face powder / Tarte concealer

1. Tarte - I love this because it is a mineral formula but it gives full coverage. It doesn't feel like it, though, which is very important when it's 105 degrees outside. It has Amazonian clay (or something like that) in it to eliminate shine? I don't know. But the powder is amazinggggg.

2. Bare Minerals - This is my tried and true standard. I keep the liquid and the powder on hand, depending on the amount of coverage I'm looking for. These two are my current foundation staples.

3. Naked Skin - Ok y'all. This stuff is amazing. It's not as full coverage as the two above but I absolutely love it. It feels great on. It's super blendable and probably the most buildable of all four. Overall, I loved using this product and will definitely buy it again.

4. Benefit - This is what I want to try next. I've never used it but I've heard SO many good things about this foundation. Lightweight. Blendable. Oil-free. Perfect for summer in the South.

So there you have it. Next week, I'll post the Eyes and Lips selections. Get excited!
