When it comes to summer beauty, I’m all about lightweight, glowing, effortless makeup that holds up in the heat — and makes me feel confident without feeling cakey. Whether I’m running errands, grabbing coffee, or shooting content, this is my everyday summer routine that keeps me feeling fresh, hydrated, and sun-kissed all day long.
Here’s exactly what I’m using right now, step-by-step:
1. Skincare First: Hydration + Glow
Before I even think about makeup, I prep my skin with two of my favorite products from Naturium:
Hyaluronic Acid Serum: This is my go-to for a plump, hydrated base. It sinks in beautifully and gives my skin that dewy, healthy glow.
Dew Glow Moisturizer: Brightens, nourishes, and layers perfectly under makeup. I love how lightweight it feels, but it still packs a punch when it comes to hydration and radiance.
2. SPF + Foundation in One
Next, I go in with the Colorescience Flex Shield SPF — it's my summer must-have. It gives just the right amount of coverage while protecting my skin from the sun. It’s buildable, evens out my tone, and has such a natural finish. Think: your skin, but better. For a more glam look or full coverage look, I use Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint.
3. Conceal + Set
To brighten under my eyes, I use the ILIA True Skin Serum Concealer. It’s creamy, never creases, and blends like a dream.
Then I lightly set everything with the Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder — a classic for a reason. It locks in the look without making my skin feel dry or heavy.
4. Bronze + Sculpt
To bring some warmth and subtle contour to my face, I use the Makeup by Mario SoftSculpt Bronzing Stick. It glides on and blends so easily — truly foolproof. It adds that sun-kissed definition I love in the summer.
5. Blush + Glow
Summer isn’t summer without blush and glow. I use:
Rare Beauty Liquid Blush: A little goes a long way. It gives me that flirty, flushed look and blends like silk.
Smashbox Highlighter: I tap this on my cheekbones, nose, and cupid’s bow for that extra touch of glow. It catches the light just right.
6. Eyes + Brows
For my eyes, I keep it soft and simple with Morphe eyeshadow — usually warm browns or bronzy tones for a summery vibe.
Then I shape and define my brows using:
Neutrogena Micro Brow Pen: It provides a transfer-proof and realistic hair-like finish, instantly giving you natural-looking brows
Benefit Gimme Brow Gel to set and fluff them up
7. Mascara + Final Set
I finish the look with the ILIA Limitless Lash Mascara — it gives me length, volume, and never flakes. Just clean, defined lashes that open up my eyes.
To lock everything in, I give a good mist of the Morphe Continuous Setting Spray. It melts everything together and gives that perfect, fresh-faced finish.
8. Lip Liner & Gloss
And last but not least, I always use the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner followed by either Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm or Laneige Glaze Craze Tinted Polypeptide Lip Serum.
The Vibe
This whole routine takes me about 15 minutes and gives me a clean, glowy, light-makeup feel that holds up all day. It’s breathable, buildable, and makes me feel like the best version of myself.
