Creating a light and breezy makeup look for summer doesn’t require a heavy arsenal of products – just a few essentials to keep your skin radiant and fresh in the heat. Although sometimes you need to up your beauty game for a work meeting or a slightly important occasion, your look needs to be dewy and fresh at heart.

Start with a lightweight tinted cream for sheer coverage and an even complexion. Add a touch of cream blush in a peach or pink shade for a natural flush that blends seamlessly with your skin. Another tip is to swap powder-based products for creamy formulas to avoid a cakey finish. A multipurpose balm or stick can work as both a lip tint and eyeshadow, giving you a soft glow without overloading, but you can still use your favorite light-colored lipstick if need be. For the eyes, opt for a waterproof mascara to combat summer humidity and a neutral eyeshadow palette for a slightly upgraded look. Finally, finish with a hint of highlighter to enhance your bronzed skin and a touch of setting spray to keep everything in place.

These must-haves – which we carefully curated in the Photo Gallery – will leave you feeling effortlessly polished, perfect for every summer day!
