Summer really is here and in the beauty world, that means one thing: we all need to find that perfect, stay-put foundation. 

There really is nothing worse than taking all that time to get ready, perfecting your make-up, only to see it fall off your face when you hit the outside sweltering heat. So, with that in mind, and with Summer in full swing, we bring you five of the best foundations that really will stay exactly where you want them to. 

MAC Pro Longwear Hybrid Nourishing Waterproof Foundation

Released just last month, this foundation has already caused quite the beauty buzz thanks to the fact that it just doesn't budge. A combination of a concealer meets foundation, this makes our list thanks to the fact that it's; number one, humidity-resistant, number two, weightless so won't clog the pores and number three, it's waterproof so no matter how long you wait in the sun for a cab or no matter how hot that bar, this little beauty isn't going anywhere.  

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF10

There aren't many foundations that boast a staying power of 15 hours, but this one does. Oil and fragrance free, thanks to a unique formula it promises to not only not come off on your clothes, but also won't run away at the first sign of heat or humidity. What's more, the formula is ideal to be built gradually so you get the perfect shade and coverage and leaves a fresh and natural finish. Sounds good to us. 

Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting Foundation SPF15

Yes we want a foundation that won't flake or fall, but, if we had to write a wish-list, we would also love a foundation that stays and makes our skin even more sensational. Like a little beauty genie, enter Tom Ford and his Traceless Perfecting Foundation which is not only humidity and heat resistant, but also uses the state of the art Tom Ford Infusing Complex to nourish skin and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Think we are done? Not quite, it also leaves a natural finish, perfects pores and, thanks to the SPF, protects from UVA and UVB damage. That's us sorted then. 

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation

Tarte is a real Singapore Tatler favourite, not only because their products actually do what they say they are going to do, but because every single piece is sulphate, paraben and petrochemical free. With a formula resistant to heat and humidity, not only does this little wonder stay put for an impressive 12 hours, but thanks to the Amazonian Clay formula, it softens, moisturises and perfects the skin as it goes. 

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet

Chanel's Perfection Lumiere Velvet foundation has been likened to wearing a second skin. Not only is the formula about as lightweight as you can get, thanks to the unique Perfect Skin Affinity Complex, it instantly adapts to the skin for a totally natural finish. Not just that, but there are a whole host of unique ingredients at work, ensuring imperfections are covered, skin tone is improved, fine lines are taken care of, and, most importantly, that colour doesn't fade, smudge or run, all day long.
