Before starting coverage, let’s talk about the skin. Great makeup (as you know!) Start with a great skin, already measured the season, you must also diet. Change your abundant winter meals to obtain some fresh spring ingredients, see my Eat Beautiful book for skin -full of seasonal benefits.

What is a light base?

A light base is a formulation designed to provide coverage without feeling heavy or skin cakey. Unlike the traditional bases of complete coverage that may be higher, light bases offer a more natural finish that allows the skin to breathe. These bases are perfect for spring when you want a fresh and humid appearance without the weight of parenting makeup. Often they also offer additional skin benefits, such as protective or moisturizing ingredients.

What ingredients are good for hydration?

When looking for light coverage for spring, it is essential to consider the ingredients that sacrifice hydration to maintain their skin and feel the best possible. Some key ingredients to search the moisturizers include:

Hyaluronic acid: known for its ability to retain moisture and caress the skin, hyaluronic acid is a popular ingredient in moisturizing foundations.
Glycerin: glycerin is a moisturizer that helps attract moisture to the skin, keeping it hydrated and flexible.
Vitamin E: This antioxidant not only provides hydration but also helps protect the skin from environmental damage.
Squalane: A light moisturizing ingredient that mimics the natural oils of the skin, Squalane helps keep the skin soft and hydrated without feeling fatty.

Don’t forget SPF!

Many light bases also include the coverage of SPF, which is essential throughout the year, but even so, when the sun begins to reappear at this time of the year.
