I use the same year round. I don't need much anyway except over my nose and chin which get some redness sometimes.

I try to put on major SPF too since I started noticing little dark spots on my left cheek bone since that's where the sun gets me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490742 Tue, 12 May 2015 20:29:14 +0000 Rambling Ann 1490742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try not to tan, for so many good reasons seems to be the best strategy. You guys will be so happy with your skin as the days pass.</p> <p>Here it's a lifestyle fail Hats and SPF a million and I'm still tanning, unusually so for a red head. Honestly, it never occurred to me to mix my own.</p> <p>I like Angie's tinted moisturizer idea, I think I even have some.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kkards-there is a Sephora in the big city. Next time I'm up, I might do it, and then go back in dead of winter and see how different they are. I'm not sure were folks get their make-up around here. Probably Walmart, &nbsp;which is 50 miles down the road...</p> <p>Gigi-that's it exactly, I throw it away long before using it up as it is, to double the waste would bother me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490737 Tue, 12 May 2015 20:15:05 +0000 Gigi 1490737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in the same boat and not sure what will happen this year. I am trying to protect my skin more, so I hope I won't tan. But last year, near the end of the summer, I did feel like my foundation was a little too light. I got a sample of the next-darker shade and tried that a week ago, but it was clearly too dark; however, I haven't started to tan yet this year. I am hoping to do what em suggested above, which is to mix a little bronzer into my regular foundation to darken it up if necessary. (I don't wear enough foundation to use up two bottles, one light and one dark, per year.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490694 Tue, 12 May 2015 18:24:36 +0000 Inge 1490694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490674 Tue, 12 May 2015 17:25:05 +0000 em 1490674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I have to, I add bronzer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490664 Tue, 12 May 2015 16:51:40 +0000 kkards 1490664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>like many of the others, i don't generally tan in the summer (at least anymore, different story when I was in my 20s). now my foundation is generally good year round expect for a week or 2 post beach vacation, and then i just change to a tinted moisturizer. anyway if you have a Sephora nearby, they have this cool new thing that analyzes your skin tone and recommends a foundation....I had them give me a recommendation about a month ago, and i love the new foundation, they color is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490649 Tue, 12 May 2015 16:13:18 +0000 Keturah 1490649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try not to tan, but some summers I do. I find I'm usually 1-2 shades darker. I started using Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer this week. (Sidenote: it's absolutely perfectly <i>gorgeous!)</i>&nbsp;The SA at Sephora's told me not to worry about buying two shades. Just get a liquid/gel makeup bronzer (Stila makes one, and Mercier has a bronze primer), and mix it into my current tinted moisturizer or foundation. I think I'm going to try that.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490630 Tue, 12 May 2015 15:47:10 +0000 deb 1490630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do get darker in the summer and need to change my CC cream. Sometimes the next shade darker is too dark so I mix it with my lighter color. I am able to customize the color as summer moves toward fall then go the opposite way as fall moves toward winter and I get lighter again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490607 Tue, 12 May 2015 14:36:57 +0000 shiny 1490607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I deliberately don't tan either but still inevitably get some color. Even with the strongest SPF as a base, even if I don't burn, I'll still get more redness. &nbsp;I switch over to BB or CC cream not only because it's lighter for heat/humidity, but because it will correct to match skin tone.&nbsp;</p> <p>Otherwise the switch is for the texture more than the color. I can't stand regular foundation on my face in the warmer months. It just feels like too much (even applied lightly), and also has a tendency to slide right off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490604 Tue, 12 May 2015 14:29:43 +0000 Lucy 1490604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I was younger, and tanned more, I'd always swap. But now I try and avoid the sun on my face so I don't need to.&nbsp;I recently moved from Sydney which has a warm but fairly temperate climate, to Brisbane, where it is pretty hot and humid in the summer (though divine right now in autumn!) I think next summer I might change consistency of my foundation, to something a little more waterproof!<br />&nbsp;But like Retailgirl, I have always swapped my moisturisers (richer in cooler weather).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490603 Tue, 12 May 2015 14:28:40 +0000 Angie 1490603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't change my tinted moisturizer at all. It has very natural coverage - meaning not very covered at all - which allows the natural colour of my skin to come through no matter what colour it is during the year.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490582 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:58:39 +0000 retailgirl 1490582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm very fair and don't tan, so I wear the same color foundation all year. I might wear a little less in the summer, due to heat and humidity. I do switch moisturizer in the summer, from Clinique youth surge to Clinique moisture surge or dramatically different moisturizing lotion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490565 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:25:44 +0000 Staysfit 1490565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the same eye shades summer and winter because my goal is to emphasize my eye color, which is unusual. I only use eye liner not shadow anyway.</p> <p>I try to alter my lip color a bit to something season appropriate so I don't get bored. I tend to go with lighter shades.</p> <p>i have two blush shades that i use all year. If I get some color, I skip the blush. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-make-up-q-summerwinter-foundation#post-1490564 Tue, 12 May 2015 13:20:10 +0000 Rambling Ann 1490564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you usually change shades for summer? Or does the same shade work year round for you? My tan came on early this year, and I'm facing (haha, bad pun) a collection of bottles that are probably all too light. </p>
