Louise Thompson has found a foundation that she says stays flawless in the heat. The Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue Moisturising Foundation reportedly survived a week in Morocco and 10 hours in the sun at Wimbledon without budging.
Sharing her experience on Instagram, Thompson said: "Whilst I was in Morocco, I wore this pretty much every night for dinner and, despite the heat and humidity, it genuinely didn’t budge. It also survived 10 hours with no shade on a hot day at Wimbledon." She added: "When I went to Wimbledon last week it was another SCORCHER. My makeup was put to the ultimate test but stayed looking fresh from start to finish. If you’re looking for a foundation that won’t budget in the heat, this is the one."
Product Features
The foundation is suitable for all skin types and has an SPF45 for sun protection. It contains chia seed, which is rich in antioxidants, an ion-charged water complex for hydration, and probiotics to soothe the skin. The formula is lightweight and breathable with a radiant finish and medium-to-full coverage that is buildable, offering up to 12 hours of wear. It comes in 27 shades, though the range has fewer darker options compared to some other brands.
Alternative Options
For a wider shade range, the Fenty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation offers 50 shades at £35. It features climate-adaptive technology resistant to sweat and humidity and has a lightweight feel with medium-to-full coverage. Another option is the Saie Glowy Super Skin Foundation, which contains 85% skincare ingredients for a skin-like finish. It has lighter coverage but a radiant, buildable formula.
