Note Sunglow Foundation is confusing but it may be your best beauty buy this summer

This Note Sunglow Foundation is a foundation with a difference. If you use it right, it will give you a false sun-kissed glow that will look like you picked it up on a beach in Ibiza.

The Note Sunglow Foundation €14.95 is calling itself a foundation, but when you apply, it seems more like a fake tan with a shimmer in it. It has a really sheer coverage, actually almost no coverage at all. It adds a tint and a shimmer to your complexion. So if it's not a foundation and it's not just a face tan how are you supposed to use it?

This is one of those products that you have to be a bit creative with. Don't be afraid to break the rules and stop looking for the directions because you can use it however you fancy. Use this as a face tan to give you a warmer skin tone for the summer months or to use when you are wearing tan. You could also use it as a highlighter and apply it with a stifle foundation brush on top of your foundation to enhance your cheekbones or to lightly highlight along your collarbones. You can even use it down your legs over your tan to give them a gorgeous sheen and elongate them.

Personally, I loved this as a base for my usual foundation. As your skin gets a little colour during the summer months, you can use this to deepen your usual foundation instead of switching to a darker shade. It has a gorgeous silky, water-like texture and contains vitamin E to hydrate your skin, so it sits really well under makeup.

Apply this all over your face with a brush or just using your hands. Then apply your foundation on top. The shimmer and tint in the Sunglow will give your face natural contours and highlights and warm up the colour of your foundation.
