Foundation in the summer

What do you put on your face in the summer? I currently use bare minerals powder and I think this will probably make me look a bit pale in the summer as I naturally get a little tanned. I am a little clueless but I know I will need something to even my complexion out.
Thanks in advance

Usually a tinted moisturiser with SPF. Lots of really good ones - Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, Liz Earle, Jouer. Lots of cheaper ones if you aren a budget.

KLAXON - Ive just recently found the HOLY grail of products. This looks like you're wearing no foundation but evens out skin and brightens. I wish id found it sooner..can't recommend highly enough. I wear the middle shade and I'm paleish.
clarins instant light radiance boosting complexion base

So would you use that instead of moisturiser?

I'm recommending Maybelline BB cream - it's really good coverage and for me it's a great 'my skin but better' finish. SPF30. I have pale and dry skin that gets spots if I annoy it.

There's 3 types, I think the others are for radiance and mattifying but they were lower SPF.

BB Cream is good but mineral powder can be good if you get shiny. Maybe you should get a slightly darker shade for the summer if you're otherwise happy with it. Try popping down the shops and getting your favourite brand colour matched when you've a little more colour?

I have a darker shade of mineral foundation for summer but this year it's probably going to be BB cream for me - giving Dr Jart and Missha a try. So far it seems most of my needs are met by this one product.

I don't wear foundation but I do have a Soap&Glory 'Make Yourself Youthful' CC cream (silver pump action bottle)
Scarily peach but it blends in nicely .
