The hot and humid summers in India can be challenging for makeup lovers like us. Thanks to the constant sweating and makeup meltdowns, wearing a full face of makeup and keeping it in place all day seems nearly impossible. So does this mean you should stop wearing makeup in the summer? Of course, not!
The easiest solution to stop the summer sun from ruining your makeup is by swapping your heavy-duty products for lightweight ones that sit comfortably on the skin and allow it to breathe. Here are five super lightweight makeup products that you must invest in RN to continue slaying even when the temperatures soar...
- 01. Pond’s White Beauty BB+ Cream SPF 30 PA++
- 02. Lakmé Absolute White Intense SPF 20 Concealer Stick
- 03. Lakmé 9 to 5 Naturale Balm Compact
- 04. Lakmé 9 To 5 Pure Rouge Blusher
- 05. Lakmé Cushion Matte Lipstick
01. Pond’s White Beauty BB+ Cream SPF 30 PA++

Wearing a full coverage foundation during the Indian summers is a beauty sin you must avoid at all costs. Instead, opt for something more lightweight such as the Pond’s White Beauty BB+ Cream SPF 30 PA++. This BB cream helps in camouflaging spots and discolouration to even out and brighten your complexion. Additionally, it comes with SPF 30 PA++ that protects the skin from sun damage.
02. Lakmé Absolute White Intense SPF 20 Concealer Stick

Those who need a little extra coverage to conceal dark circles, pigmentation or acne should consider getting the Lakmé Absolute White Intense SPF 20 Concealer Stick. The lightweight, medium-coverage formula helps conceal skin imperfections without looking cakey or creasing a few hours into the application.
03. Lakmé 9 to 5 Naturale Balm Compact

Compact powders are an absolute must-have in your summer makeup routine; they provide extra protection against creasing and makeup meltdowns. Our go-to product is the Lakmé 9 to 5 Naturale Balm Compact. It has a unique balm-like texture that is hydrating and conceals imperfections like fine lines and discolouration. Enriched with aloe vera gel and green tea extracts, this balm compact also protects your skin against oxidative damage.
04. Lakmé 9 To 5 Pure Rouge Blusher

Adding a pop of colour to your cheeks can instantly make you look healthier and more youthful. And the Lakmé 9 To 5 Pure Rouge Blusher is perfect for this. The matte formula provides sheer, lightweight coverage, making the cheeks looks flushed and glowy. Plus, it comes in six exciting shades that flatter all Indian skin tones, leaving you spoilt for choice.
05. Lakmé Cushion Matte Lipstick

Apart from choosing a lightweight lipstick for the summer, you also need to pick something that won’t budge under a mask this time around. And guess what? We have found the perfect lipstick in the form of the Lakmé Cushion Matte Lipstick. Featuring a lightweight formula that is extremely comfortable to wear even for long hours, these lipsticks are a total god-sent for summer. Even though these lipsticks feature an intense matte finish, they are incredibly comfortable and won’t dry out your lips.
