Summer Beauty Hack? Swap Out Your Foundation in Favor of a Lightweight Skin Tint
When the heat waves hit, I have no patience for the feeling of foundation on my face. Instead, it's all about lightweight skin tints for me—tinted moisturizers, skin tints, and tinted SPFs that offer a natural-looking finish with a weightless feel (say it with me: tint supremacy!). So, why am I ditching my favorite foundations until the fall? Well, imagine sporting full coverage foundation while riding the subway in 90-degree weather—gripping onto the nearest metal pole for dear life, packed in the rattling train like sardines in a can, amongst dozens of other sweaty and damp commuters bemoaning the hazy reality that the car they chose doesn't have AC. Much like my clothing, I want to wear as little layers as possible, while still having enough coverage to avert outright nudity (or in this case, an entirely bare face).
Pro makeup artist Monika Blunder describes the best skin tints as 'a lightweight, sheer coverage product designed to even out skin tone and provide a natural, skin-like finish.' Their thin, easily-blended texture makes them the perfect option for hot weather—with tints, you get just the right amount of coverage while keeping your skin feeling fresh and light all day.
No matter what type of formula you go for, from gel-like moisturizers to watery serums, all provide a your-skin-but-better base and nearly undetectable finish. From there, you can get painterly with targeted concealer coverage, sun-kissed bronzers, and more. Plus, plenty of complexion tints are formulated as skincare-makeup hybrids with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, niacinamide, and more. Some even do double duty by adding SPF for added sun protection (Blunder prefers not to rely on makeup products for her SPF—and we co-sign that opinion).

Getting married this summer? Colorado expert shares money-saving tips
Here in Colorado, we are thick into wedding season, and tying the knot can be expensive. According to The Knot, the average wedding cost ticked up to $33,000 in 2024. Experts say things can get even more pricey currently with tariffs in place. But they don't have to. You can say "I do" without going into debt. Sara Shvartzman and Marc Shultes are living proof. The couple met a little over a year ago. "We met speed dating, believe it or not," said Shvartzman. "And it's funny. We both weren't going to be there that day." Schultes agreed that their meeting was serendipitous: "I literally said to myself, 'If I don't go, this will be the one time I miss out on something.'" He was right. Their life together so far has taken them all over the world, including to the Paris Olympics. The biggest highlight thus far, however, was when they got engaged in April. Shultes popped the question over a meal with champagne and bubbly at Venice Ristorante DTC. Soon after that, they started planning for their big day and found out how quickly expenses can add up. Sara Shvartzman and Marc Shultes "Our biggest expenses have been location, catering, floral is up there," they said. "DJ, videographer, photographer, hotel blocks for people out of state. We try to cut corners where we can." Allison Welch knows all about trimming pricey costs. For the past fifteen years, Welch has been helping couples across the Denver metro area and the entire United States navigate wedding planning with her company, "As You Wish." "We are a lifestyle company, so we help folks better their lifestyle," Welch told CBS News Colorado during a recent conversation. She says there are plenty of ways to keep money in your pocket. "We always recommend a coordinator. Our services are hourly, so it's helpful for someone to say, 'I can have you for the event checklist and timeline coordination.' Maybe instead of a band or a DJ, make up a fun playlist. Have your planners walk through it with you so it's still music that you love." She added, "Stay away from the weekend, maybe get married on a Friday or Thursday. It's also maybe a budget cut for folks flying in to save on flights and hotels as well." CBS Tariffs also play into money-saving decisions right now. Big-day essentials like gowns, décor, and even stationery for menus and invitations are largely imported from China, not to mention wine and liquor, which often come from Europe. Eighty percent of cut flowers arrive from overseas. "Last week we did eucalyptus with pops of bud vases, or even faux flowers," said Welch. To avoid surprise costs, try and book and pay vendors as soon as possible to lock in rates now. Also, build a 10-15% buffer in your budget and read contracts carefully. CBS And remember the basics, says Welch: "Oftentimes, we hear my sister likes this or my parents like that. It's about them, so we really like to bring them back to what's important to them." As for Shvartzman and Shultes, they have some other important questions. "Gentler or smoosh the cake in their face, are you going to do that?" she asked. "I'm not looking forward to that," said Shultes. Shvartzman didn't answer the question, but couldn't hold back her laughter. Editor's note: Welch helped CBS Colorado Anchor Mekialaya White and her husband plan their wedding almost four years ago.

Food dye crusade, years-long cruise, crypto for mortgages: Catch up on the day's stories
👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! President Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election was fueled by increased voter turnout and a more racially and ethnically diverse support base than in 2020 or 2016, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center. See the full analysis. Here's what else you might have missed during your busy day. 1️⃣ Going dye-free: Synthetic food dyes are a hot target in the crusade to reduce chronic disease and neurobehavioral issues in the US. However, experts have found that dyes are just one component of ultraprocessed foods. 2️⃣ Looming deadlines: The Supreme Court is set to hand down its final decisions of the term tomorrow, many of which are high-profile cases. The schedule sets the stage for a blockbuster last day of opinions. 3️⃣ Living at sea: Californian Sharon Lane stepped onto a residential cruise ship in mid-June with joy and relief, acknowledging the moment she fulfilled a lifelong dream. She plans to circumnavigate the globe for the next 15 years. 4️⃣ End of an era: Anna Wintour is stepping down as editor-in-chief of Vogue after nearly four decades — but she will stay on as publisher Condé Nast's global chief content officer and Vogue's global editorial director. Wintour reinvented the publication during her tenure, turning it into a powerhouse. 5️⃣ Crypto's coming: Homebuyers in the US may soon be able to use cryptocurrency assets to strengthen their mortgage applications.
