Makeup to travel light and be melt proof in hot weather

Tube keeps beauty kit lightweight

It’s a challenge to keep a fresh face in hot, humid weather no matter what your skin type.

Keep it light

I find that foundations are too heavy for hot climates -- heavy in coverage and heavy in weight -- foundations are usually packaged in glass containers. I’ve discovered tinted moisturizers are great for traveling because most are contained in lightweight tubes.

A tinted moisturizer with sunscreen gives skin perfect coverage for sunny summer evenings out on the town town.

Since the sun shines strong into evening hours, you still need sunscreen. But, unlike trekking in hot sun during the day, a typical summer evening is a mix of sitting under parasols on patios or dancing inside clubs. This is the loveliness of a tinted moisturizer.

Lancôme Aqua Fusion Teinté

You might think that a moisturizer would be greasy. Not so. This summer, I found Lancôme Aqua Fusion Teinté. I love Lancôme products, and the Aqua Fusion Teinté is a nice foundation that gives me a sheer, matt look and not greasy at all.

It covers troubling skin imperfections, an uneven sun tan, and offers enough sun protection for summer evenings.

The Aqua Fusion has SPF 20 sun-protection. It’s lightweight sunscreen, so if you should plan to wear it during the day, you should find some UVA range protection for broad-spectrum coverage.
