BeautyRival – As a beauty editor living in sweltering Texas, I see summer as the ultimate test bed for foundations. I constantly assess whether a long‑wearing formula truly lasts all day or if sweat‑proof claims hold up under extreme heat and outdoor activity.
Foundations That Withstand Heat and Workouts
Based on my testing, a few foundations check every box: they offer a fresh, airbrush‑like finish, buildable coverage, and impressive longevity even in 112°F weather. Best of all, many stay put without needing powder, primer, or setting spray.
