Best Makeup Products For Summer:
1. Elizabeth Mott Whatup Beaches Bronzer
This bronzer is my favorite go-to for summer which helps me achieve a sun-kissed look. The main things I like about this bronzer are that it lasts quite long, blends easily into my skin, and has a perfect matte shade.
2. M. Asam Magic Finish Porcelain Teint Make-Up
This product is a primer, makeup foundation, concealer, and finishing powder (cream) – a 4in1 makeup product, that will hide redness, wrinkles, fine lines, and dark circles. It has a unique silky texture that will feel light, with a buildable coverage. “This mousse makeup is AMAZING!!! It goes on SO SMOOTH and you can’t even tell that I’m wearing makeup. I just applied it with my fingers and it gave great coverage! I can’t even feel it on my face.” – one reviewer says.
3. Maybelline Eyeshadow Palette
This palette has 12 amazing nude shades to achieve a natural look you’ll love. One reviewer says “The Maybelline New York Nudes Eyeshadow Palette is beautiful! It has all the nude tones suitable for those with fair skin or those who tend to prefer nude and earthy tones. The eyeshadows are pigmented and can be mixed and matched to create some looks.”
4. bareMinerals Original Foundation
If you’re looking for a light foundation for summer with buildable coverage that suits sensitive skin, you’ve found it. bareMinerals foundation is free of talc and has many shades that might suit your liking. It’s SPF15 so it will be perfect in the summertime.
5. Maybelline Multi-Use Concealer
You’ve probably already heard of Maybelline Multi-Use Concealer as it is perhaps the most popular concealer on Amazon. This concealer hides any redness, blemishes, and dark circles under the eyes. It has ingredients that will slow down aging. One reviewer says “I have tried tons of different concealers over the years and have found similar issues with all of them. Some are too thick and therefore hard to blend, look unnatural, and/or cake increases. This Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer is the PERFECT consistency for blending.”
6. ILIA Multi Stick
ILIA is mostly known for its makeup + skincare product combination and quality. This multi-stick can be applied both – to lips and cheeks. The formula has clean ingredients and the texture is buttery. It has over 12 amazing shades with a natural finish.
7. URBAN DECAY Vice Hydrating Lipstick
This lipstick is one of my favorite that I’ve ever had. The main reason I love this lipstick so much is that it has an intense color payoff. It’s also infused with aloe vera and avocado oil to moisturize the lips, lasting almost all day. There are 30+ shades you can choose from with matte/shine finish.

L’oreal Paris Makeup Voluminous Mascara is another widely known product, and you’ve probably heard of it, but we have to mention how amazing this thing is, and why people like it. The formula of this mascara is surprising, it provides great volume and length with no clumps or flakiness. It’s also waterproof, but easy to clean, and suitable for sensitive eyes.
9. Maybelline Lifter Gloss
Comfortable, long-lasting, high shine, plumping, infused with hyaluronic acid to hydrate – a perfect lip gloss for some. One reviewer says “This has replaced my no mirror needed high-end lipstick that’s lived in my handbag for years. It’s comfortable, non-sticky, hydrating and so thick and buttery you can’t wait for the next opportunity to put on a fresh coat.”
