As the summer sun blazes down, the last thing you want is your makeup sliding off your face. That’s why I prefer to keep my beauty routine minimal when the heat is on. However, there are a few go-to products that help me stay fresh and polished without the dreaded makeup meltdown. You might feel great without any makeup, but if you want a touch of enhancement, these products will ensure you look radiant without the worry of streaks or clogged pores (at least not for me!).
1. Origins VitaZing
Does the idea of applying foundation in sweltering heat sound ludicrous to you? If you’re looking for a way to even out your skin tone without the heavy feel of traditional makeup, Origins VitaZing is your answer. Not only does it contain SPF 15—perfect for those busy days when you skip your sunscreen—but it also has a magical quality. This cream starts white but transforms into a subtle tint on your skin, leaving you with a beautiful, dewy glow. It’s like the lightest tinted moisturizer you can imagine, making you look refreshed and gorgeous. (And I really hope it’s pronounced “vita-zing!”)
2. Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel
While I love the tinted version of this brow gel, summer is not the time for anything that could make your brows look overdone. Instead, opt for the clear formula to keep your brows in check. This gel won’t magically grant you Cara Delevingne-like brows, but it will ensure they stay perfectly in place, even when sweat tries to take over. No one wants to deal with eyebrows that look like they’ve been in a wrestling match with perspiration!
3. Lancôme Waterproof Définicils Mascara
Waterproof mascara can feel heavy, and I typically avoid it during the warmer months. But if I choose to wear mascara, it has to be waterproof, and Lancôme’s Définicils is by far the best. It’s smudge-proof and gives your lashes a stunning curl without the hassle of looking like a raccoon by midday. Plus, if you’re tempted to explore options like Latisse for longer lashes, no judgment here!
4. Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick
When you’ve got a summer glow, who needs blush? Instead, grab Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Brick to add a touch of shimmer to your cheeks and anywhere else the sun naturally hits, like your brow bones and nose bridge. It’s not just blush; it gives you that “I just returned from a tropical vacation” look, which is always desirable. This formula promises a soft-focus effect that will have you feeling fabulous.
5. Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral SPF 45
Reapplying sunscreen can be a hassle, especially when you’re already wearing makeup. Enter Peter Thomas Roth’s Instant Mineral sunscreen. This handy brush applicator allows you to dust on SPF without disturbing your makeup or feeling greasy. You can even apply it to your hands and décolletage to prevent sun damage in those often-overlooked areas. This is a game-changer for anyone who wants to stay protected without the fuss.
Now, all you need is a lip balm packed with SPF, and you’ll be ready to face the heat looking fabulous.
