The weather has recently turned muggy and every time I leave the house I feel like my face is melting off. This is why in the summer months I like to switch to a lightweight powder foundation; it's easier to touch up and doesn't feel like I'm clogging my pores. La Mer just came out with an amazingly lightweight powder foundation-- I got it last week and am in love with it! You can control the coverage depending on how much you apply it and of course being La Mer it also includes skin treatment benefits along with SPF protection. I love the way the texture of this powder; super soft and fine, and it feels like nothing on the skin no matter how often I re-apply! A signature Radiant Ferment (no idea what that is but sounds like yogurt) continuously improves clarity and brightness to illuminate the skin. I was told there are airspun seaborne particles in it (again, no idea but am picturing foam bubbles from the ocean waves) - some of the lightest materials on earth - and that's what makes the flawless finish last all day no matter how much I sweat. I slapped some of this on before running to my kickboxing session the other day and it held up really well. I was even able to reapply afterwards without it gunking up.
The Treatment Powder Foundation SPF 15 is $95 and available now at select Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and www.lamer.com
