No-Fuss Summer Makeup for Women Over 40
16
items Real talk: summer makeup should take 5 minutes and last all day. Here are my tried-and-true picks for SPF, quick color, and sweat-proof staying power — all made for skin that's lived a little.
Fast and SPF50. Wide selection of tones.
Medium CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ - IT Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Tinted and ultra light SPF50 by a trusted brand.
Anthelios Mineral Tinted Ultra Light Face Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50 - La Roche-Posay | Ulta Beauty
Reasonable price and not tinted if you don't need that.
Moisturizing Rich Sunscreen SPF 30 - Good Molecules | Ulta Beauty
This is a serum foundation and spf so extra good.
10 Ivory Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation - L'Oréal | Ulta Beauty
Always give the eyes some love. This is a great mascara.
Black High Impact Volumizing Mascara - Clinique | Ulta Beauty
A final spray to seal the deal.
4.0 oz All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray - Urban Decay Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I love a lip treatment. This one solves three issues.
Remedy for Dry Lips | Hydrating Lip Balm
A cream bronzer stick is a summer game changer — no brush needed, just swipe and blend. This one from Rare Beauty melts right in for a natural sun-kissed glow.
Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Sticks - Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez | Sephora
The viral hydrating cream blush that actually feels like skincare. Buildable color with a dewy finish — perfect for a fresh, no-makeup makeup look in summer heat.

SPF 40 in a gorgeous gloss — Supergoop is one of the best SPF brands out there. This one gives your lips a juicy, plump look while protecting them from the sun.
Glow Gloss SPF 40 Lip Balm with Peptides and Shea Butter - Supergoop! | Sephora
The holy grail setting powder — a cult classic for good reason. A light dusting keeps shine at bay all day without looking cakey. Non-negotiable for summer makeup.
Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier | Sephora
The most loved brow pencil for a reason. Ultra-fine tip fills in sparse brows naturally — especially great for women 40+ noticing thinning brows. Fully waterproof too.
Benefit Cosmetics Precisely, My Brow Pencil Waterproof Eyebrow Definer - Ulta Beauty
Two products in one — fills and tints your brows AND has a growth serum built in. Perfect for women 40+ whose brows have thinned over time. Use it daily and watch the difference.
Grande Cosmetics 2-in-1 Tinted Brow Gel and Brow Enhancing Serum - 0.12 fl oz - Ulta Beauty
The #1 waterproof eyeliner at Sephora — and for good reason. Glides on smooth, doesn't budge in heat or humidity, and comes in dozens of colors if you want to have fun with it.
24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil - Urban Decay | Sephora
A precise liquid liner that truly stays all day — even in summer heat. The fine tip makes it easy to do a thin line or build to a bold wing. A longtime fan favorite.
Stay All Day® Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner - stila | Sephora
It looks almost too dark in the tube and then it goes on as the most perfect, your-lips-but-better berry
Pink Honey Almost Lipstick - Clinique | Ulta Beauty
