All foundations Chanel, Guerlain, Estee Lauder, Giorgio Armani, Lumene

A real mystery: to remove makeup from the face at the end of the day, we need at least a two-step cleansing - a cotton pad with micellar water, followed by a thorough wash with warm water. However, miraculously, a little moisture and a sudden rain is enough for all the foundation to immediately float off the face. Some beauty products in our arsenal are simply pointless in the context of summer make-up, so waterproof cosmetics come to the rescue, which will definitely serve faithfully and long-lasting make-up throughout the hot season.

I know what a bad foundation feels like when it’s up to +30 outside during the day, and in the evening after work you’re caught off guard by a downpour right on the way home. Try these impressive waterproof formulas so you, too, will never have to deal with unexpected makeup running on your face again.

Recipes

Foundation is easy to prepare at home , for this we will need:

Recipe No. 1

Ingredients:

your favorite facial moisturizer or lotion
powder of a color suitable for your skin.

Preparation : The base should be of the consistency you want to achieve from your cream. If the cream should be light with a liquid consistency, then you need to choose a light base. And vice versa. Now you need to mix our ingredients in the proportion that will give you the shade and thickness you need.

This cream will be stored for 6 months.

Recipe No. 2

For those who want to be sure of the composition of the foundation, we will create it from scratch from natural ingredients .

Ingredients:

Almond oil 45 ml;
Shea butter 3 ml;
Cocoa butter 15 ml;
Cinnamon;
cocoa powder;
zinc oxide 15 ml;
Vitamin E – 1/8 part tbsp. spoons;
Beeswax 15 ml.

Preparation: First, mix all the oils, beeswax and vitamin E in an iron bowl, and then heat it up, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Then leave the mixture to cool to room temperature. Add cinnamon and zinc oxide and, after mixing well, begin adding cinnamon little by little. Until you get a beige color. Instead of cocoa, you can add powder or blush of the desired shade (with them it is easier to achieve the desired color).

This recipe is a huge success on women's forums and has excellent reviews. But still, it is necessary to test the mixture before use for the absence of an allergic reaction.

The service life of this cream is also 6 months.

Dado sens

Dado Sens cosmetics are a unique combination of naturalness, effectiveness and tolerance. All products are manufactured under the supervision of dermatologists, so even allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin can trust Dado Sens. Plant extracts are used as active components, which activate the skin's ability to regenerate. Dado Sens cosmetics do not contain fragrances, dyes, preservatives, SLS and other harmful substances that can cause serious harm to the skin. Dado Sens products are suitable for vegans and vegetarians - they are not tested on animals and do not contain animal ingredients.

Dense texture. It camouflages well. Comfortable application. The skin becomes hydrated. The line includes cream for both dry/normal skin and combination skin. Suitable for sensitive skin (in principle, like all products from the “organic” line). It not only hides redness, but also heals, and this, you see, is a nice bonus!

There is a phrase “you are what you eat”, which encourages you to monitor what foods enter your body. So let's pay attention to what we use outside. The cosmetics we use every day should not contain hazardous/toxic substances and deprive the skin of its ability to function normally. Therefore, dear girls, I urge you to start, and those who have started, to continue getting acquainted with high-quality organic cosmetics. It is important to remember that the skin always needs to get used to and adapt to new products. Oddly enough, our skin is already so accustomed to chemicals that it needs time to adapt to non-toxic products. Observe and try, and then you will find your favorite among organics.

Review of the best foundations with natural composition

If you don’t want to bother with preparing a home remedy, there are now many good manufacturers of natural foundation creams:

Jurassic spa

This cream has a very light texture, more like a fluid than a cream. Delicate floral aroma. The shade adapts perfectly to skin color. Natural components, each of which performs its own function:

Saw palmetto extract fights the hormonal cause of acne and oily skin (reduces the reaction of sebaceous gland receptors to dihydrotestosterone).
rosemary extract inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
panthenol reduces inflammation
lamellar emulsion is completely natural. It contains a small proportion of oils, so it does not clog pores, enhances the bioavailability of extracts and perfectly moisturizes the skin;
natural pigments (iron oxides) with surface treatment with lecithin delicately tint the skin, giving it a well-groomed appearance.

This cream has a positive effect on problematic oily skin , but does not have high covering power, so to disguise any unevenness and problem areas, you will need to use a concealer over it.

Average cost: 650 rubles

Neo Bio

This product is not very suitable for fair skin, as it comes in only two shades - medium and dark. The color adapts to the skin tone due to its translucent consistency, but is still noticeable on fair skin. Again, it has low covering power, and serves rather to even out the overall tone. It moisturizes the skin well and is easily washed off with plain water. Even after washing, the skin looks refreshed and hydrated, which shows the effect of nutrients on the skin. It has a fresh aroma, reminiscent of cucumber or aloe. When applied to the skin, it seems to glide over it due to its liquid consistency, but quickly thickens in the air.

Average cost: 660 rubles

Dado sens

Available in two shades: dark and light. It is not felt at all on the skin, very light and soft. Soothes the skin, reduces inflammation, does not dry out. Has a mattifying effect . An excellent option for caring for oily problem skin.

Average cost: 2800 rubles

Dr. Hauska

The consistency is similar to a rich nourishing cream. Incredibly nourishes the skin and at the same time evens out the tone and gives the skin radiance. The shade of the cream is dark, but if you mix it with your regular cream, you can make the shade lighter. The skin does not mattify at all, after application there is a shine, but, like after a good nourishing mask, after a few minutes everything is absorbed. Provides excellent care, fights inflammation and eliminates flaking and dry skin the first time. The aroma is herbal, like all products of this brand. Many consider this scent to be more of a plus than a minus. The cream gives a pleasant feeling of tightness and elasticity throughout the day, thanks to this product the skin really revitalizes.

Average cost: 1900 rubles

Annemarie Boerlind

This product is available in two colors - almond and beige. The product perfectly combines such properties as daytime moisturizing, tone evening and protection from ultraviolet radiation of class A and B. Many note that this cream gives the skin incredible radiance and tenderness. Absolutely invisible on the skin. The coverage is not high; you will also have to use a concealer under the cream if you have problem skin with rashes.

Average cost: 2300 rubles

Zao make-up

The cream perfectly mattifies and moisturizes the skin, making it velvety. Lasts well, does not make the skin greasy, and nourishes the skin. Go to bed in a very light tone, evening out your complexion. Medium density consistency. For concealment, it is recommended to use an additional corrector or concealer. It has a very pleasant aroma. There are very good reviews for this cream on the Internet.

Average cost: 4700 rubles

Natura Siberika

This is the first natural foundation that appeared in our stores. The cream itself is thick, the consistency is more similar to the product from Dr. Hauska. But the advantage of this consistency is its higher coverage, so this cream perfectly masks skin imperfections. Has a mattifying effect and leaves no shine. It applies well, stays on well, and your makeup stays with you all day.

Average cost: 1000 rubles

ZAO cosmetics

Concealer

It is not felt on the skin. Hides imperfections. Copes with shine and mattifies. Holds up great. The powdery consistency creates a velvety feel without being overpowering. Pleasant aroma. Perfect skin effect. Not a very comfortable shovel. Forward-thinking users will obviously have a question about how to get the remains of the cream when it runs out.

Compact powder

The effect is achieved both when applied to a bare face and on a concealer or foundation. Doesn't roll down. Adjusts to skin tone. The effect of well-groomed skin is a fresh and tanned look. It copes with the problem of oily shine with a bang (all day without additional powder). The composition does not contain talc. Antiseptic effect (note to those with capricious skin). A special plus for the packaging design is bamboo beauty with the perfect composition inside in linen bags. The products also have replaceable cartridges, which is very convenient and economical. There is no sponge/brush and mirror. But for me personally this is not critical - on the contrary, nothing falls out when opening. The box, by the way, with magnets resembles the packaging of Guerlain Terracotta Pause d'ete powder.

For problem skin

For problem skin with inflammation, it is especially necessary to select a foundation with a natural composition, since the wrong cream will nullify all the results of previous facial care. Problem skin has difficulty with pores becoming clogged with sebum, dead cells and low-quality cosmetics or skincare products. Clogged pores become inflamed and we see a pimple or boil.

To prevent this from happening, you need to choose high-quality natural skin care products. And the choice of foundation is very important here, since people with problem skin use foundation very often. In addition, organic products have a soothing and healing effect on the skin due to the components contained in the composition.

Natural creams provide protection from UV rays (most) and increase the protective properties of the epidermis. A good choice for problem skin would be options such as Zao make-up, Dado sens, Jurassic spa.

How to choose?

Foundations are produced according to various recipes and consist of many components, but in order for the product not to cause harm, you must first decide what role it will play. It could be:

tone alignment;
skin hydration;
elimination of defects;
regulation of fat production;
protection from external factors.

The composition of the product will depend on these indicators. So, to even out your complexion, it is best to choose products with silk proteins and photochromic pigments. To nourish and moisturize the skin, you need to choose products that contain vitamins and herbal ingredients. And if the foundation must perform a protective function from the sun, products with special barrier enzymes are recommended.

Before using any foundation, it is recommended to carefully study its composition, choose the right one for your skin type and apply it to your face as recommended by cosmetologists and makeup artists.
