This summer has been HOT. Hotter than hot, steamier than a sauna, and just overall not the weather where it feels good to wear anything extra on your face. When I want to put a little makeup on, I’ve been reaching for lightweight solutions that do the trick, but don’t feel heavy on the face. The result? Glowing, dewy skin with some flushed cheeks and moisturized lips that make me look healthy and happy. The best part is that most of the brands making this type of ephemeral makeup are also clean brands! I’m not an exclusively Clean beauty user in general, but I do take note that the less chemicals in your routine the better! Summer seems like the perfect time to be cleaning out the gunk from all areas of life.
I get a lot of questions about my makeup preferences, so I thought today I’d share these skin-saving makeup products that don’t weigh down my summer beauty routine. I use and love them all, and I even have codes for some! Check the product descriptions for more info!

I’ve been using this for years as a lightweight tinted moisturizer and LOVE it. It’s water-based so it doesn’t break me out, and I love that it also has SPF30.

$49
This skin tint is a great option for people who want a lightweight finish but a bit more coverage.
Veil Translucent Setting Powder
$50
This setting powder helps me take shine away from my Tzone without weighing down my face.
D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Bronzing Drops with Peptides
$38
This is my favorite way to fake a tan! I put this on alone or mixed with a little Saie illuminating gel to get a lowkey pretty glow. You can also add a few drops to your tinted moisturizer if your skin gets more tan to add a little depth to the color.

$28
This is so pretty alone, or mixed with makeup! Their new Rose Gold color is my fave.

When it’s super hot out, I love using this liquid lip and cheek tint to add color that won’t budge or sweat off. I prefer this coral color to the bright red options.

This is still my MVP mascara! The formula is fantastic.
Dew Bronze Soft-Focus Effortless Liquid Bronzer
$25
I use this as a really blendable bronzer and for contour! I love how lightweight it is, and that it doesn’t break me out.

This brush is incredible for blending foundation and color into the skin so it won’t budge even in high temps.

If you’re more of a sculpting stick kinda girly, I recommend this one by Rare Beauty.

I find myself reaching more often for creamy highlighters in the summer over powder ones, and this by Rare Beauty is a current favorite. Every color is so pretty and has a really understated shimmer.

This creamy, moisturizing balm is perfect for stashing in your purse and comes in tons of colors and flavors. It’s a cult fave for a reason!
