At Galaxus you’ll find over 80 000 beauty products – with more to come. That’s quite a range. For just that reason, I regularly share my favourites from a pool of both novelties and classics with you. Up today: lightweight foundations to give your complexion that radiant glow.

The more make-up I wear in the summer, the more the sauce melts off my face in high temperatures. That’s why I keep it as light as can be around this time of year. I steer clear of thick, heavily opaque formulas. What I want is a natural finish that makes me look like I take my vitamins at eight in the morning every day on the day. Together with some cream bronzer and blush, it makes for a pretty fresh overall look.

Here are, sorted by increasing opacity, my current favourite summer foundations that meet exactly these criteria.

The shy one: Double Wear Sheer Long-Wear Make-up by Estée Lauder

The travel-suitable plastic tube is also a plus. Its lightweight and compact format may be smaller in design compared to other products, but it contains the standard 30 millilitres.

The confident one: Reboot Foundation from Make Up For Ever

If you tend to have very oily skin, this foundation might be too much of a good thing. In that case you might prefer the following one:

Ol’ Reliable: Light Reflecting Foundation by Nars

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
