I am NOT a fan of foundation in the summer. No way, no how. Until now. The geniuses behind the wildly successful BareMinerals powder foundation have released this featherweight serum-like foundation, with a specially designed brush for application, and I’m in love. It takes about two seconds to add a drop to the brush and then buff it into your skin, and the result is superb—subtle coverage that doesn’t make you feel even sweatier than you already are.
