This summer will be full of photo ops and especially at our 25th Anniversary Essence Festival. You don’t want oily looking makeup to ruin your flicks. While foundation is great for covering up blemishes, wearing it during the summer months can be a challenge. You’ll have to contend with the heat and mother nature usually wins. The streaks you’ll have in your makeup solidify it.
