I’ve spent countless summer weekends with a full face of makeup under the blazing sun in Texas, New York, and California. In between flights, running across the city, jumping from set to set, and in and out of meetings, you learn a thing or two about long-lasting makeup (I’ve had my fair share of creases). Here are my go-to essentials that give me a long-wear, sun-kissed, sweat-free summer glow!

The List

One/Size – On ‘Til Dawn Mattifying Sunscreen Makeup Setting Spray SPF 28

Seriously, what’s in this stuff? I’ve gotten used to reaching for this regardless of the temperature or season of the year. Not only is it mattifying, it holds my makeup in place all day long with SPF.

Danessa Myricks Beauty – Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder – Universal

Danessa doesn’t miss. This blurring balm not only sucks up oil, but gives you a blurred base for your look. For the ultimate base, pair it with the Water Powder Serum.

PATRICK TA- Major Headlines Matte Suede Lipstick (Oh She’s Single)

Who knew a suede matte lipstick would leave your lips as hydrating as this one! This shade is a smooth neutral that works great with any base. I pair it with Merit Beauty’s Sheer Lip Liner in Capricorn.

Haus Labs – Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-puffing Concealer with Fermented Arnica

One of the few concealers I completely swear by. Another concealer that can be used at any place during any season. It’s hydrating, creamy, and long-lasting.

LYS – No Limits Cream Bronzer and Contour Stick

There wouldn’t be a sun-kissed look without a bronzer that does the job well. A little goes a long way with this one!

Saie – Slip Tint™ Undetectable Baked Setting Powder

Though this was just released, it’s a great setting (and finishing) powder for your look. It sets your makeup while

Kosas – Cloud Set Loose Translucent Talc-Free Setting + Blurring Powder (Translucent Peachy)

Lightweight, buttery, and get’s the job done! Doesn’t leave your face dry, but sets your makeup leaving room for a glow (really a sheen). A good alternative is Huda Beauty’s Easy Bake Setting Powder – Banana Bread

Rare Beauty – Soft Pinch Matte Blush (Alive)

I don’t know why more people don’t talk about this blush. It’s absolutely incredible – highly pigmented, long lasting, with a smooth matte finish. This orange color is perfect for the summertime (sun-kissed indeed!) and layers extremely well over Haus Lab’s Glassy Tangelo.
