Airtight, heavy foundations can smudge and clog pores, leading to breakouts and discoloration. The goal: to apply foundation with a light, skin-friendly routine and we are here to help you with that!
1. Step: Clean, hydrated skin for the foundation
Start by preparing your skin with a refreshing, water-based moisturizer. This helps maintain moisture balance and provides a more matte makeup base. If your skin is sensitive or prone to irritation, the Maruderm Centella Soothing-Hydrating Face Cream is the perfect choice: a lightweight formula containing soothing centella asiatica and hyaluronic acid.
2. Step: Makeup base – primer or serum?
For summer, a light, quickly absorbing serum or primer is ideal. The Maruderm Centella Asiatica Soothing-Hydrating Milk Serum can be used perfectly as a primer: with its minimalist, water-based texture, it helps to even out the skin surface while providing extra hydration.The regular routine: cleansing → serum → moisturizer (if necessary), then sun protection.
3. Step: Sun Protection – this is the most important under makeup
No makeup is complete without sunscreen: it protects the skin from UV radiation, prevents pigmentation spots and early aging. The Maruderm SPF 50 + Anti‑Blemish Sunscreen Cream features next-generation, mattifying, spot-fading ingredients (niacinamide, alpha-arbutin), making it ideal under makeup. It absorbs quickly, does not leave a white layer, so it can be worn on skin ready for foundation.
4. Step: Makeup – it should be lightweight, oil-free, heat-resistant
-
Choose a BB or CC cream with sunscreen, oil-free formula, for a breathable, natural coverage.
-
If you use foundation, it should be oil-free, long-lasting, with a long-wear label, especially useful in hot weather.
-
Use waterproof versions of mascara, eyeliner, and brow gel to avoid smudging.
-
Cream blush and highlighter are more elegant than powder formulas because they blend better into the skin even in heat.
5. Step: Setting and refreshing throughout the day
-
A translucent, oil-absorbing powder or mattifying sheets help control shine in the T-zone without making the makeup look mask-like.
-
A few spritzes of hydrating facial mist daily refresh and help restore the skin's pH, and it's perfect for your bag.
