According to Byrdie, Hourglass Cosmetics Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick is a fantastic summer foundation. It offers good coverage and easily conceals redness and blemishes, and is quick and easy to apply.

According to Makeup.com By L'Oréal, IT Cosmetics CC Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 is a fantastic summer base product. It provides fantastic coverage and is packed full of some really nourishing ingredients, such as detoxifying charcoal, oil-absorbing colloidal clay, and blemish-banning tea tree oil.

Harper's Bazaar recommends L'Oréal Infallible Fresh Wear 24 Hour Foundation as a summer makeup essential. Available in 40 shades, the liquid foundation offers long-lasting coverage along with an easy-to-blend formula.

Another must-try foundation is Oxygenetix Oxygenating Foundation, as per Byrdie. This product offers long-lasting coverage that's not only sweat-resistant, but that is also designed to allow the skin to breathe. Plus, thanks to its highly pigmented formulation, it offers good levels of coverage that are ideal for masking redness and other imperfections.

Makeup.com also recommends NYX Professional Makeup Total Control Pro Drop Foundation. This liquid formula is highly versatile and can be used to offer a range of levels of coverage "from barely there, to full-glam with the same foundation," according to Makeup.com. It's also vegan and cruelty-free, and does not contain preservatives, sulfates, or parabens.
