Lush-ious tints for summer skin
Foundation is something I cannot live without. My olive skintone is an eclectic assortment of browns and yellows, so complexion perfecting is a ritual. While I aim to get as close as possible to the airbrushed version of my skin, come summer, the hoards of tinted moisturizers I’ve tried just don’t cut it. As the days heat up, my full face of makeup slowly melts off through the day—a problem I never encountered in my native Britain. Even mattifying primers don’t cement it on, so you can imagine my joy at having finally found an answer.
Famous for their chopped blocks of fragrant soaps, Lush has created Colour Supplements ($14, at Lush stores, lush.ca). The little pots of tint can be blended with moisturizer for a customized shade, or on days when I need the extra coverage, I can apply it straight to my face. Alternatively, I can dot it on as a concealer—and still no melting in the heat. It contains soya oil for moisturizing and brightening—something that my dull skin is ecstatic to be receiving—but is light enough to carry the pigment onto the skin without congesting it, something we all need in the summer months. Available in four base tones, they’re subtle enough to work for almost everyone. Choose from light pink, light yellow, dark pink and dark yellow.
