Okay listen—if you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know I’ve never been a big makeup girlie. Give me good skincare, a glowy moisturizer, and some tinted lip balm, and I’m out the door. But these summer makeup products? Game changer.

They give me that dewy, even-toned look I’ve always wanted—without covering up my skin or making me feel like someone else.

So here we are: my official summer makeup products. They’re beginner-friendly, skincare-infused, and perfect for moms, minimalists, or literally anyone who wants to glow without a ton of effort.

11 Summer Makeup Products:

1. Arbonne Sheer Coverage Skin Tint (a.k.a. my current fave)

Lightweight. Hydrating. Glowy.

Let’s start with the product that I’m obsessed with and my new go-to: Arbonne’s Sheer Coverage Skin Tint. It’s technically a tint, but it gives your skin that radiant, even-toned look without hiding your face. This is skincare-meets-makeup in the best way possible.

I’m obsessed because it does so much more than just even out your skin—it helps blur redness, smooth the look of pores, and calm uneven tone, all while keeping your skin hydrated thanks to hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid. It’s packed with skin-loving antioxidants like vitamins B3, C, and E, plus a smoothing peptide that actually supports your skin’s radiance over time. The texture is super lightweight and serum-like, which means it absorbs beautifully and layers like a dream—even over SPF. The finish is dewy, fresh, and just so natural. It’s like your skin, but with a glowy upgrade. I also wrote about it in my skincare blog post.

2. Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint

Shade: if you need recs, shoot me a DM!

Before Arbonne’s skin tint came out, this was my go-to so it deserves a space in this blog post, too. It’s super sheer, dewy, and feels like nothing on your face—but somehow makes you look more awake and alive.

It also has skin-boosting ingredients like squalane and hyaluronic acid, so it doesn’t just sit on your skin—it actually works with it. Think: that “clean girl” look, but with zero effort.

3. Kosas Cloud Set Baked Setting Powder

This powder is like a real-life beauty filter. It’s talc-free, vegan, and somehow manages to mattify without killing the glow. I use it on my T-zone when I want to set things in place but still look like I have skin.

If you’ve ever been scared of powder making you look cakey or flat—this is your redemption product. It’s light, it’s airy, it’s a yes from me.

4. Kosas Blush 

I’m usually not a blush person, but this one has converted me. The shades are dimensional and brightening (aka, not clown cheeks), and it gives the perfect sun-kissed flush. Just a few dabs on the cheeks and you suddenly look like you got a full night’s sleep and a beach vacation.

Bonus: It’s also talc-free and has a velvety, baked finish that feels super natural.

5. e.l.f. Brow Lift + Kosas Brow Pop Pencil

I use these two together and LOVE the results. The e.l.f. Brow Lift is such a good budget-friendly gel—it holds things in place without crunchiness. I also go in with the Kosas Brow Pop Pencil to fill in a few sparse spots. It’s easy to control and gives that soft, defined shape without looking too “done.” Brows = lifted, shaped, and still looking like me.

6. Tula Gold Glow + Get It Cooling Eye Balm

Not exactly makeup, but it’s a summer staple in my routine. This brightening balm cools and de-puffs instantly—plus it leaves behind the prettiest golden glow. I swipe it under my eyes in the morning (and honestly mid-day too) for that wide-awake look.

Perfect for those no-sleep, too-much-iced-coffee days. Which, let’s be real… is most days.

7. Make Up Forever Artist Color Pencil in 708 Universal Earth

This is my ideal lip liner shade. It’s a warm brick brown that works so well with neutral lips, deeper tones, or a simple gloss. I like that it’s a pencil-pencil (aka not twist-up), so you can sharpen it for more control. I usually line and fill in a bit, then top it with a lip butter. Speaking of which…

8. Kylie Cosmetics Lip Butter + Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

Shades: any, but I’m loving Birthday Cake for Summer Fridays

These are the finishing touches to my “I tried, but not too hard” summer look. Both of these lip products feel nourishing, not sticky, and give your lips a healthy, soft sheen.

The Summer Fridays Balm is my ride-or-die, especially in the Birthday Cake scent—it smells like vanilla heaven and makes your lips look so plump and juicy. The Kylie Lip Butter is also a good option if you want a little color with your hydration.

9. Arbonne Lip Oil

Glossy, hydrating, and so good.

This lip oil is my current go-to when I want something that feels like a balm but looks like a gloss. It’s basically self-care for your lips in a tube—super sheer, ultra-moisturizing, and packed with good-for-you oils like Coconut, Moroccan, Jojoba Seed, Moringa, and Raspberry Seed. It gives your lips a plumper, glossier look while actually nourishing them.

10. Arbonne Eyeshadow Palette

Shimmer, sparkle, and just enough drama.

I’m usually a one-and-done kind of girl when it comes to eyeshadow, but this palette totally surprised me. It’s packed with eight creamy, blendable shades—think golds, ambers, creams, and even a gorgeous pop of green—that somehow feel both effortless and elevated.

The formulas are smooth and easy to work with, so even if you’re not a makeup pro (hi, same), you can still create really pretty looks that feel intentional. There’s just one matte shade and seven luminous shimmers, which means you get that soft-glam glow without having to do a million steps. Whether I’m swiping on a single shimmer for day or layering it up for something a little extra at night, this palette is such a fun way to switch things up without going full glam.

11. Arbonne Makeup Primer

The smooth start your makeup routine needs.

If you’ve ever wondered whether primer actually makes a difference—this one’s your sign to try it. Arbonne’s Makeup Primer is lightweight, hydrating, and gives your skin that soft-focus, blurred effect before you even put anything else on. It smooths out fine lines and helps your foundation or skin tint glide on like a dream.

I love that it works for all skin types (mine included) and doesn’t feel greasy or heavy. Just a tiny bit preps your face and makes everything look just a little more flawless—without trying too hard. It’s like a real-life filter in a bottle, and it’s officially earned a spot in my summer lineup.

To wrap up this post about my current fav summer makeup products…

So there you have it—my easy, breezy, skin-loving summer makeup lineup. I’ll never be the girl with a 10-step glam routine (zero shade if you are, I love watching your GRWMs), but I am now the girl who actually looks forward to getting ready in the morning. These products make me feel like me—just a little more radiant, refreshed, and pulled together.

If you’ve been wanting to simplify your makeup bag without sacrificing that effortless glow, I hope this roundup gives you some new favs to try. Let me know if you snag any of these—I’m always down to chat shades, swaps, or skincare-makeup hybrids that actually do something.

Here’s to summer skin, barely-there beauty, and showing up just as you are—glowy and gorgeous with these summer makeup products.
