Skin Prep
Hydration is paramount — especially for those of us with dry skin bracing the sun's rays.
This cult skincare classic lives up to the fanfare. Although promoted for body use, this 48-hour moisturizer gently integrates into the skin's surface without any heavy greasiness.
La Roche-Posay Triple Repair Body Moisturizer For Dry Skin
The Ordinary's Niacinamide serum is a tried-and-true product for those of us in search for a more even, smooth base for our makeup application. This serum reduces oil production and minimizes pore visibility – two essential roles of traditional prime...
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
Priming
Priming is yet another round of moisture in my summer makeup routine.
I can admit this product is costly but the investment is 100% worth it. The combination of squalane and shea butter soothe the skin and provides the perfect glow that gleams underneath any makeup application. Despite concerns of the price to size ratio, a little goes a long way with this product!
Vitamin Enriched Face Base Moisturizer & Primer
Concealer
From the UK bright undereye to TikTok's clean girl makeup, this concealer is the one product that survives any and every trend.

Bronzer
Bronzers add in the perfect amount of warmth sought after in every sun-kissed glow makeup routine.

Putty Bronzer - Cream to Powder Formula ...
This bronzer sits right atop my putty bronzer without muddying the application. Warmth is the color property to focus on this summer.
SEPHORA COLLECTION Matte Bronzer Powder
Blush
Hot pink, mauve, and coral are my coveted summer cheek colors.
Suave Mauve pulls purple undertones of deeper skintones or adds a pop of subtlety with lighter skintones.
Camo Liquid Blush | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Pink lady is my most complimented shade. Use the c-shape method (applying dots of blush under the outer corner of the eye, at the outer corner of the eye, and at the highest part of your cheekbone) to fully illuminate the face.
Earth-Toned, Natural Cheek Liquid Blush - Juvia's Place
Marigold is the best color for the summer gleaux we all yearn for.
Marigold Natural Cheek Liquid Blush - Juvia's Place
Powders
I'm a firm believer in pressed powder then loose powders. It'll mattify the application, reduce major oils and prep the skin for loose powder application.
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Powder Foundation Makeup - Maybelline
This loose powder is perfect for brightening while preventing creasing. I normally reach for a color two shades lighter than my under eye for an intense brightening effect and one shade lighter for standard brightening.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filt'r Setting Powder
Lip Combos
Juvia's Place Lip Liners glide smoothly onto the lip without leaving a chalky texture once it dries down.
