☀️ My Go-To Summer Beauty Products for a Fresh, Glowy Look

Summer is all about effortless beauty—lightweight coverage, glowing skin, and products that hold up in the heat without taking up space in your bag. As a makeup artist and esthetician, I love finding clean, high-performing products that deliver serious results without weighing you down.

Here are my absolute must-haves this summer—products I personally use and carry in my kit and my purse!

✨

1. Merit Great Skin Tinted Moisturizer with SPF

This has quickly become my go-to for hot days. It’s glowy, breathable, and super lightweight—basically your skin, but better. It evens out tone while giving you that natural, dewy finish. And the fact that it has SPF? Huge win. Perfect for minimal makeup days or layering under your favorite cream products.

2. ILIA Multi-Stick Blush

I can’t rave enough about this little gem. It’s clean, compact, and blendable—everything you need for a fresh flush of color on the go. You can apply it with your fingers, a brush, or even straight from the stick. It melts into the skin and works beautifully as both a blush and lip tint. Toss it in any bag—trust me, it fits.

3. Milk Makeup Future Fluid Concealer

If you’re looking for creamy, full-coverage concealer that still feels light on the skin, this is it. I love how buildable it is and how effortlessly it blends without creasing. The packaging is compact (hello, travel-friendly), and it’s clean beauty certified—which is a big plus for my clients with sensitive skin.

4. Benefit Precisely My Brow Wax

This product is a total game-changer for brows. It tints, shapes, and holds your brow hairs in place without that stiff, crunchy feeling. It’s perfect for achieving that clean, natural laminated brow look that holds up all day—even in the Georgia humidity!

5. Tarte Tartlette XL Tubing Mascara

Tubing mascara lovers—this one’s for you. I’m obsessed with how smudge-proof, flake-free, and easy to remove this formula is. It gives you serious length without running or smudging, even after a long day (or spontaneous swim!). It’s become my go-to for both everyday and event looks.

🌿 Final Thoughts

Clean beauty, convenience, and performance are key for me—especially during summer when we all want to feel fresh and radiant with as little fuss as possible. These five products check all the boxes for lightweight, glowy, and low-maintenance beauty.
