Why is Ferro Cosmetics Mineral Foundation Great for Summer?

Many women scramble during summer time when it comes to their foundation. Many won’t even wear foundation, because of how confusing it may be to find a new color that typically would be outside their normal color scheme. Bronzers can add or enhance a sunkissed look, but wearing a bronzer over your entire face just to even skin tone is pretty much a no no.

Maybe you have a brand new tan from your vacation, day in the yard, self-tanner or spray tan session, and you’re scrambling for the perfect shade with this sudden new darker shade you now have.

How exactly does one choose a foundation for summer, and why is it important to still wear one?

Remember – the very first thing to consider when matching foundation for your current skintone, is always look at your chest when matching your face, because with more skin now showing (meaning not hidden behind scarves and turtlenecks, you are now matching all your skin!

Consider the color of your arms too.  And don’t be afraid to go richer with your color, minerals are your friend, they won’t do you wrong like those nasty harsh liquids that give you mask lines, clog pores, and wear off at the first sign of water.

Ferro’s pure mineral foundations are concentrated, forgiving and blendable, so you don’t need THE “perfect” color to look like you already have it.

Our foundations are perfect for summer days because:

• Covers imperfections- NOT your tan
• Adds richer color to your face especially when your chest is much more tan.
• Removes shine and oils, and resists humidity and moisture.
• ONE richer foundation color can be the perfect shade for the multitude of shade changes your skin goes through when dealing with a fresh tan to faded tan, and all the shades in between.
• Evens out skin tone on tan skin that may be blotchy or uneven
• Blends in “farmers tan” from sunglasses or uneven sunscreen application
• Enhances your tan naturally.
• Tans add a great color boost to the face, but most times uneven, and even shiny. Using a darker foundation tone will blend your tan into an even, bronzed and healthy appearance.
• It NATURALLY resists moisture, sweat, and stays put in the humidity. So GO SWIMMING, your makeup stays put, as long as you PAT dry (don’t wipe).
• SUN PROTECTION-Ferro foundations contain Titanium Dioxide and Zinc which help protect skin from harmful rays, so using a darker shade can give the appearance of a richer, natural tan without the damage of a real one.
• SHOW MORE SKIN-Ultimate Foundation can be used to cover veins on legs, blemishes on chest, and breakouts in the bikini area! It goes undetected and fully covers without running off or sweating off, even in the water.

WHICH FOUNDATION SHOULD I CHOOSE-ULTIMATE OR RADIANCE?

Of course both will work wonders, but to be more specific each have their own unique features and benefits.

Ultimate offers full coverage and a soft matte finish. It Contains lots of Kaolin Clay which absorbs oils and moisture, without pulling moisture from the skin, translation: no oily shiny skin, and Great for humid conditions. Even though it can give you maximum coverage, you can still apply a light application for a sheer finish without the radiant finish.

Radiance offers a sheer buildable coverage, so if you have a rich tan or want your color to shine through, Radiance leaves your skin fresh, dewy and flawless.

Make any of our foundations a concealer by using our concealer brush on targeted areas, which deposits more product, but without oils.

OR, mix with your fav moisturizer for that “liquid” foundation look.

• Ferro Cosmetics does not contain Bismuth Oxychloride, which can cause itchiness, redness and irritation when it reacts to heat and sweat.
