Summer is the season to let your skin breathe and your natural beauty shine. Whether you’re headed to the beach, enjoying rooftop brunches, or just looking for a natural, radiant everyday look, it’s time to swap your full coverage glam and matte foundations for lightweight textures and luminous finishes.
Here’s your ultimate summer beauty routine and the must-have products to help you achieve an effortless, glowing look all summer long.
Step 1: Hydrate & Prep
Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Essence Toner
After washing your face, start your skincare routine with the ultra-hydrating Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Essense Toner. Packed with skin-boosting ingredients, it enhances your skin’s ability to absorb other products. It leaves a fresh, dewy glow and is perfect for normal to dry skin types.
SkinCeuticals Daily Moisture
This lightweight SkinCeuticals Daily Moisture is the key to hydrated skin. It also helps reduce pore size and protects against environmental stressors. This makes it the perfect product for long days out in the sun.
Nuda Bronzing Glow Drops
Nothing says summer like bronzed, glowy skin. Give your skin a sun-kissed finish before even applying makeup! Mix these Nuda Bronzing Glow Drops with your moisturizer or apply them directly to your skin to create the perfect summer base.
Step 2: Lightweight Coverage
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Light Revealer SPF 25
Ditch the foundation and opt for the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Light Revealer SPF 25 that offers sheer coverage and sun protection. It brightens the skin and gives a naturally luminous finish, making it the ideal “no-makeup makeup” essential for summer.
Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Concealer
Target any blemishes or dark circles with the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Concealer. It offers buildable, medium coverage and a natural, airbrushed finish that blends seamlessly with your glowy base. Bio-mimetic pigments and texture-perfecting microspheres provide flawless crease-proof results with a flexible wear for up to 19 hours.
Step 3: Add Color & Dimension
Natasha Denona I need a Warm Eyeshadow Palette
The Natasha Denona I need a Warm Eyeshadow Palette will quickly become your go-to eyeshadow palette for the summer. With warm-toned mattes, metallics, and shimmers in the perfect nude hues, this palette lets you create a range of summer looks.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint
The Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint is a summer essential. It blends like a dream, feels weightless, and gives that fresh, flushed-from-within look. This product offers buildable pigment with a radiant finish that never feels cakey or heavy.
Benefit Gimme Brow + Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
Define and set your brows with this long-wear, water-resistant gel. The Benefit Gimme Brow + Volumizing Eyebrow Gel adds natural volume while holding hairs in place for a clean, polished look.
L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara
