Dr Brandt Flexitone BB cream $69

BB creams are great alternatives to heavy foundations in the summer heat. Dr Brandt’s formula uses tone-blending technology that is suitable for most skin tones as it auto adjusts to your skin. The cream brightens and hydrates the skin whilst also offering protection from UV rays with an SPF factor of 30+.

Perricone No Foundation Foundation $82

This product is great for hot summer days as it offers sheer coverage and protects the skin with a non-chemical SPF30.

The foundation aims to minimise the appearance of lines, wrinkles and pores to deliver a radiant complexion.

Chantecaille Protection Naturelle powder SPF 30+ $110

This product differs from other sheer foundations featured, as it is comprised of mineral powders. The formula absorbs excess oil whilst keeping the skin hydrated and providing sun protection. The new soft focus mineral optics result in flawless looking skin without the ‘mask effect’ of other foundations.  The powder comes in two shades; bronze and light.
