Summer Beauty Hack? Swap Out Your Foundation in Favor of a Lightweight Skin Tint
When the heat waves hit, I have no patience for the feeling of foundation on my face. Instead, it's all about lightweight skin tints for me—tinted moisturizers, skin tints, and tinted SPFs that offer a natural-looking finish with a weightless feel (say it with me: tint supremacy!). So, why am I ditching my favorite foundations until the fall? Well, imagine sporting full coverage foundation while riding the subway in 90-degree weather—gripping onto the nearest metal pole for dear life, packed in the rattling train like sardines in a can, amongst dozens of other sweaty and damp commuters bemoaning the hazy reality that the car they chose doesn't have AC. Much like my clothing, I want to wear as little layers as possible, while still having enough coverage to avert outright nudity (or in this case, an entirely bare face). Pro makeup artist Monika Blunder describes the best skin tints as 'a lightweight, sheer coverage product designed to even out skin tone and provide a natural, skin-like finish.' Their thin, easily-blended texture makes them the perfect option for hot weather—with tints, you get just the right amount of coverage while keeping your skin feeling fresh and light all day. No matter what type of formula you go for, from gel-like moisturizers to watery serums, all provide a your-skin-but-better base and nearly undetectable finish. From there, you can get painterly with targeted concealer coverage, sun-kissed bronzers, and more. Plus, plenty of complexion tints are formulated as skincare-makeup hybrids with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, niacinamide, and more. Some even do double duty by adding SPF for added sun protection (Blunder prefers not to rely on makeup products for her SPF—and we co-sign that opinion). Vogue's Favorite Skin Tints: In This Story:

Laura Geller's bestselling makeup for mature skin has 70% off in Memorial Day sale
Beauty brand Laura Geller offers the best make-up for mature skin. Whether it's a hydrating primer for seamless application or a powder product that won't sink into fine lines, everything the NYC make-up artist creates is a masterclass in enhancing — not masking — mature complexions. Now, as a treat for Memorial Day, the brand has dropped prices by 65 percent sitewide. It's your chance to snap up a complexion-perfecting favorite at a price your purse will love. As if that wasn't enticing enough, you can grab an extra 15 percent off your basket with the code ' MD15 '. For context, that's more than 70 percent off the total. That means huge discounts on a color-correcting foundation or a gift-wrapped blush-lipstick duo. Whatever you settle on, you can be sure it's been crafted with hydration and weightlessness — the core principles of cosmetics for aging skin — at its core. Perhaps you just want to take advantage of this opportunity to stock up on all things bronzer and eyeliner, and we wouldn't blame you. Whatever your agenda, we'd recommend you browse the best deals below. However, you've got to be fast; who knows how long these deals will last? Best deals in Laura Geller's Memorial Day sale The perfect base for every skin type, the Laura Geller spackle skin primers come in a whopping seven formulas, from pore-minimizing to hydrating. Working smarter, not harder, each iteration hones in on specific skincare problems, all while helping your makeup to last longer. While the idea of a powder foundation for mature skin might seem a little surprising, the team at Laura Geller has nailed it. Comprising a unique blend of hydrating-boosting jojoba, soothing centella asiatica, and smoothing silicone, the desired result is a silky and weightless complexion enhancer — and one approved by the National Rosacea Society, too. Laura Geller's marbleized makeup collection features two limited-edition shades, both neatly wrapped up in a rose-adorned box. With a combination of shimmering mica and iron oxides, the blush aims to give an iridescent finish to even the most weary of complexions, while the amarena lipstick uses vitamin E to help keep your lips as healthy as ever. The eyelids are one of the first places we start to notice signs of aging. As this skin begins to lose its elasticity, it's important to make the switch from powder to cream eye products. Laura Geller's kajal formulas fit this brief beautifully, with caffeine energizing the area and rice extract soothing any dryness. Meanwhile, the kajal mascara does away with dead skin thanks to the inclusion of salicylic acid, and the kajal lip color makes for ultra-easy application with a tapered tip. In your choice of 11 shades, the Laura Geller jelly balm can be every mom's perfect fit. Be it a nude or a bold red, there's a hue to complement every skin tone. As for the ingredients, she'll be able to bank on lip comfort thanks to the nourishing power of squalane.

Charlotte Tilbury's Memorial Day sale sees 20% off everything with this code
Of all the beauty deals that roll around during the Memorial Day sales, few cause as much excitement to me as savings on Charlotte Tilbury products. The beauty brand — which has the queen of celebrity make-up artistry at the helm — is home to many of my favorite make-up and skincare products. As someone who works their way through countless bottles of airbrush flawless filter setting spray (was $23, now $18, especially during the summer, and is an avid user of the Hollywood flawless filter ($49, now $39.20, I'm thrilled by Charlotte Tilbury's sale. The British-born beauty brand has 20 percent off everything until May 26, making now the perfect time to try the make-up mogul's products or stock up on your favorite formulas. If you don't know where to start, I've rounded up the products I'd recommend snapping up while they're reduced. What are the best deals in Charlotte Tilbury's Memorial Day sale? In honor of the holiday, Charlotte Tilbury is offering 20 percent off everything — yes, everything. In order to redeem the discount, all you need to do is enter the code ' MAGICMAY ' at the checkout, with no minimum spend required. I've tried my fair share of setting sprays. But in my opinion none rival Charlotte Tilbury's formula thanks to its ability to deliver long wear and radiance. Living up to its name, it provides a soft-focus, airbrush finish to the skin that doesn't look dull or matte, but locks your make-up in place all day. The scent is subtle and fresh, and the fine mist dries down almost instantly. Most days, I tend to wear just this over my moisturizer of choice (it's got to be Charlotte Tilbury's magic cream) with some concealer under my eyes (followed by my usual bronzer and blush). It blends into the skin seamlessly, blurring imperfections and areas of hyperpigmentation. While $39.20 seems steep (even with a discount), a little goes a long way – so much so, that I've been known to keep a bottle going for almost a year, so I think it's most definitely worth the money. Another product I frequently recommend to my friends. This foundation is perfect for bridging the gap when you're looking for extra coverage, yet a your-skin-but-better finish. The buildable formula leaves skin looking fresh and radiant. Even better, a tube of this tends to last me at least six months — but I will add, I don't use it daily. This set is the perfect introduction to Charlotte Tilbury's skincare — it contains mini versions of the glow toner, magic serum crystal elixir, magic eye rescue, and magic cream. All the products are true skin saviors, containing a concoction of ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid and vitamins C and E, which work to give your complexion an instant glowy finish. At just $38, this is a great deal. The Independent' s beauty writer is a huge fan of this bronzer — having reviewed it for her guide to the best, she said it's 'one of the easiest to apply as part of a quick morning routine'. It's 'versatile enough to use without foundation' as it offers a light sweep of color. Promising failsafe application for all skin types, I'm adding this to my cart now.
