I bought the sample size after watching all of the TikTok reviews of this product, and I was immediately sold after one use. You can use it as a primer for foundation or on its own, and both options leave your skin glowing and definitely give the “flawless filter” look. I’m always impressed with how much better my makeup looks since I’ve added this product to my makeup routine, and I get so many compliments every time I use it.

I’ll never stop raving about this primer! I feel like I can wear minimal makeup because the primer leaves such a flawless finish and subtle shimmer to my face. I also love how lightweight the formula is. It makes my skin feel hydrated all day long. You definitely get a bang for your buck with this primer, as a little product goes such a long way.

I got this foundation literally the second it launched, and I really think it is my favorite foundation I’ve ever used. I have extremely dry skin, and nothing has ever made it look so good. Most products look good at first, then within a couple of hours, they look dry on me, but this one stays dewy without being greasy—it literally just looks like healthy, beautiful skin. The most telling thing to me is the products I reach for when I really need to look good, and this foundation has become that. There was quite a lot of heated debate on TikTok between this and the new NARS foundation, but I strongly disagree with the consensus that the NARS was better. This foundation is an absolute dream for dry skin and has become my holy grail. I don’t think I’ll ever go without this in my makeup bag.

This is my new favorite finishing powder. I finish my makeup by applying it to my T-zone where I find I get the most oily throughout the day. It gives my skin a smooth and bright appearance without being too heavy and making me look like I’m wearing a lot of powder. I love the blurring effect it has on my pores and blemishes, making them basically invisible.

You might think that a bronzer is just a bronzer upon first glance. As long as the shade's right and it doesn't look like your face is dirty, you're good to go. I thought the same until this fell in my lap, and now, I simply cannot find joy with any other. This bronzer is the same exact formula as the famed Flawless Finish powder (the one above that Keely raved about), so it glides on your skin and blends like nothing I've ever used before. It makes my skin look glowy with a little extra color and basically no effort.

I could take or leave the Hollywood Contour wand, but I go absolutely wild for the Beauty Light Wand in the shade Pinkgasm—it’s one of my favorite cream blushes in the game. The application is so creamy and luxe, and I love how seamlessly it blends. The color is absolutely to die for, and if you love a dewey, highlighted blush look, you need to get your hands on this when it's in stock (trust me, it sells out fast).

– Ashley Selleke, Branded Content Editor

As far as powder blushes go, this might be the best I’ve ever tried—ever. I love the subtle hint of shimmer that makes my skin look so glowy—no highlighter needed. I have Pillow Talk (obviously), and it somehow pairs beautifully well with my skin in the summer and the winter when my skin tone is quite a few shades different. You never have to worry about using too much, but you also don’t have to work too hard to get it to show up on your skin. Truly, it’s the Goldilocks of blushes, and I’m obsessed.

– Beth Gillette, Editor

I am not someone who goes particularly wild in the eyeshadow department, so a quad often attracts me more than a full palette does (and is especially nice for travel, which I’m planning on doing a lot of this year). This one is full of shades of rose, which can sound like it will make you look like you have pink eye, but it literally does the exact opposite. Every time I do my eyeshadow, I use this, and the result is an elevated, cohesive eye look that makes my green eyes absolutely pop like nothing else does. I’m no eyeshadow expert, but this is easy to use and makes it look like you’re an eye-makeup master with little to no effort. The quality of these eyeshadows is the best I’ve ever used.

Name a more iconic lipstick. I’ll wait. I picked this up when it got a ton of hype a few years ago (I swear, everyone was recommending this shade), but as soon as I swiped it on my lips for the first time, I understood why everyone was losing their minds over it. It’s matte yet moisturizing, and it looks so good on all of my friends no matter their skin tone. It’s become my go-to purse lipstick and always comes through when I’m in a pinch.

– Ashley Selleke, Branded Content Editor

There is a reason this is everyone and their mother’s holy grail lip liner. It is the perfect neutral shade to pair with just about any lipstick you choose (I’m partial to Walk of No Shame) and even looks good on its own with a sheer lip gloss. If you need a lip liner that you can reach for seven days a week without a second thought, this is the one you need in your makeup bag.

When summer rolls around, there is only one way to describe my skin: sweaty. While I definitely deal with an oily T-zone, I am plagued by sweaty skin from the moment I wake up until the moment I stick my face into the AC (Listen, I don’t handle the heat well, OK!). So when it gets hot outside, I have to keep items to touch up my face and prevent sweat from taking over my entire makeup look. This refillable kit is ideal: One side contains blotting papers and the other is a finely milled powder to mattify and get rid of intense shine. It doesn’t make my skin look cakey or take away the intentional dew on my skin, but it does take me back to how I looked when I first put my makeup on that morning. Selena, you’re a genius for this.

While my skin stays pretty combination in the summer (very oily T-zone + tightness thanks to extra time in the sun), the thick, occlusive moisturizers I rely on in the winter just feel heavy on my skin in the summer. In the mornings, I want something light that feels like nothing is on my face. At night, I can’t bear to handle something thick on my skin when I’m going to bed. Enter: this gel moisturizer. I couldn’t live without this last summer, and I’ve already picked up a new tub because I can’t imagine going through the warmer months without it. It feels so lightweight on my skin, but it leaves me feeling just as moisturized as my thicker formulas do. I couldn’t get through summer without it.

— Beth, Editor

I love to swap out my perfumes in the summertime for something lighter and brighter than the woody, darker perfumes I wear in the fall and winter. The second I smelled this, it became a go-to. I love how light and airy this perfume is, and it smells like nothing else I’ve tried. It’s definitely floral, but the white musk notes in the base ground it, so it just smells expensive. I’ve been savoring this all spring, but when the first slew of 70-degree days roll around, prepare to be sick of me and this scent.

— Beth, Editor

We are in the era of cream cheek products, and I’ve tried just about all of them—but when it comes to bronzer, nothing compares to this for me, especially in the summer. The formula of this looks incredibly natural on the skin—even bare skin—and really does just look like you’ve been kissed by the sun. I use this both on days I’m wearing makeup and days I’m not to warm up my skin, and I always know it’ll stay all day—even if my day involves a lot of sweat.

— Maddie, Fashion Editor

I have straight, fine hair, and while nothing could make it get curly or wavy, the humidity does make it quite frizzy, and this award-winning product has been a literal miracle for that. Coating your hair with it after you shower smooths hair with a humidity-blocking technology that lasts three to four washes (so the bottle lasts absolutely forever). This makes my hairstyles actually last in the summer and has made humidity a non-factor for me hair-wise. Since it’s formulated for all hair types, I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t love this too.

— Maddie, Fashion Editor

This has been my go-to body sunscreen for years (yes, I am on a subscription), and I am not switching anytime soon. The formula is clean of chemical propellants (meaning it’s a cleaner option than your typical chemical sunscreen, making it healthier for you and for the planet because it’s reef-friendly), but it’s also full of ingredients that really make my skin glow (even without a tan!) like vitamin C and various extract oils—it feels more like a luxe and light body oil or mist than it feels like a thick sunscreen. My favorite part is that it’s a spray (way easier than a lotion, right?), but it’s non-aerosol, so it’s better for you and the planet. Win, win, and win!

— Josie, Wellness Editor

I don’t tan; I burn and/or get moles. In other words, I do not even sit by a window without a healthy slather of SPF. But I love nothing more than a radiant glow and a "did I or didn’t I just get back from vacation" tan throughout all of summer, so I fake it with this gradual self-tanner. But don’t be fooled: This self-tanner is not like other self-tanners (notice the chicness of “self-tan water”) and is well worth the price, IMO. It’s a super gradual, even tan (so you can spray it on as a final step in your morning or evening routine every day without waking up with splotches or a bright-orange complexion), and it contains amazing ingredients for your skin to boost radiance and hydrate, so it’s just like any other skincare step loaded with powerful ingredients—except it leaves an even and natural tan.

— Josie, Wellness Editor

If you’ve ever felt the pain of sunburned lips, you understand why it’s so important not to forget your lips in your daily SPF routine. I’ve been using this Sun Bum lip balm for years, and even if I try something else, I always find my way back to this product. I love all of the flavors that it comes in and the fact that it’s super affordable. It’s formulated with aloe vera, cocoa butter, and vitamin E, so it leaves my lips feeling extra smooth while keeping them protected.

If there’s one thing I want my skin to be during the warmer months, it’s dewy and glowy. I’m always trying different skincare and makeup products that promise me that natural-looking glow, but I especially appreciate one that helps my skin glow all on its own. These Dew Drops are formulated with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, which is the perfect combination to make my skin feel hydrated and smooth, giving me the perfect canvas for the minimal, dewy makeup looks I love rocking all summer long.

— Jess, Associate Editor

I have tried many tinted moisturizers over the years, and I always come back to this one by bareMinerals. It’s perfect for warmer days because it has a gel-cream consistency that feels super lightweight on the skin, it has crazy-good hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and squalane, and it has SPF 30. I like to either wear it alone for light coverage or add another layer with a setting powder for additional coverage where and when I need it.

One second, you’re wearing a cute ponytail in the sunshine, and the next, your part has a bright red sunburn. Is there really anything worse? Introducing: Supergoop! Mineral Part Powder. Call me dramatic, but this is a total lifesaver during warm-weather months. I love it because it is a 100% mineral powder spray with SPF 35, it applies just like a dry shampoo, and it is formulated with safe ingredients. Try this out, and thank me later.

— Hailey, Editorial Assistant

In the summer, my face sweats uncontrollably, so I do my best to avoid any sort of heavy makeup. I got this tinted sunscreen last year, and it’s the perfect solution for days when I want to look a little bit more alive and protect my face from the sun’s rays. I recently just got the Supergoop! Glow Screen, and while a lot of people really swear by it, I’ve found that this La Roche-Posay one is a much better fit for me because it’s a little more matte but still gives off a slightly dewey finish that I love.

— Ashley, Branded Content Editor

The mere idea of putting foundation on in the summer brings me pain. Spending hours on a full face just for it to melt away with ease has happened one too many times. This blurring skin tint is everything I needed and more. It’s extremely light and buildable, so it’s perfect for daily use. With 25 shades, this skin tint is perfect for literally anyone. It’s sweat- and humidity-resistant while also being the perfect size for travel!

Whoever said being an oily girl was fun completely lied, but this niacinamide serum from The Ordinary makes it a lot easier. When my pores are clogged with all of the excess sweat and oil from having fun in the sun, this serum is a great overnight formula to even out any shine and congestion.

— Tierra, Editorial Intern

My mom talked about this product nonstop, so I had to try it. Immediately, I fell in love. It’s the perfect light, airy moisturizer that will give a boost and keep you from feeling congested. For all the girls with eczema or skin conditions, it’s made with colloidal oatmeal to help calm the skin, too!

When you’re just starting out with makeup, the first thing on your mind is probably foundation. To avoid looking cakey or feeling like your foundation is too heavy, try this lightweight one. This is available in 40 shades, so everyone can find their match. This glides on so easily and can be applied with a brush or sponge.

When it comes to concealer, you always want something that looks good under your eyes and all over your face as a spot treatment. This NYX concealer is so natural and blends smoothly into foundation, or it works really well on its own. It’s light under the eyes, but it also works well on blemishes and dark spots.

For setting your makeup into place so it lasts all day long, this loose powder is just as good as all the expensive versions. It’s available in a few shades to make sure it won’t make you look washed out regardless of your skin tone, and it never looks too heavy or cakey. Apply it lightly in the areas you want to set to take down shine and keep your foundation on all day.

A cream bronzer is the way to go if you’re new to makeup, and this one is totally beginner-friendly. It blends like a dream and looks very natural on the skin. This will just add a touch of color to your skin, and if your shade is on the cool side, you can also use it as a contour.

Our editor swears by this blush (and even likes it more than a viral expensive one!) because it’s so easy to blend and apply. If you’re afraid of looking like a clown after applying too much blush, this one is perfect because it is really subtle and looks natural on your skin, regardless of the color you get.

To add an extra glow to your skin, apply this highlighter to your cheekbones and other high points of the face. A lot of highlighters just add a cast of glitter all over your face, but not this one.

Neutral eyeshadow is a must in anyone’s collection, whether you’re doing a barely-there look or a smokey eye. Juvia’s Place eyeshadows are ideal because they are pigmented but blend in without much effort, and the shimmers are so gorgeous.

After testing 10 drugstore mascaras, our editor fell in love with this one, and it made its way into her regular rotation. She’s been using it nonstop because it lengthens and volumizes without clumping.

This eyeliner will do everything you need an eyeliner to do—at less than $10. You can line your waterline, do a wing, and even use the smudge brush to smudge it out into a smokey eye. You can’t go wrong.

This lip gloss is a near-exact dupe for some of the most sought-after, expensive lip glosses. It comes in tons of different shades, but we love the shade “Moon” for a natural look with a little shimmer.
