Everyday Summer Make Up Favorites
Letโs talk summer make up. The glowy, bronzy, effortless kind that makes you feel pulled together without melting off by noon. Personally, I want products that feel lightweight but give a healthy, radiant finish and last through all of the heat, humidity, iced coffee runs, and spontaneous patio dinners.
This season, Iโve been reaching for easy-to-apply, high-performing staples that help me feel like my best, sun-kissed self. Even on days when Iโm doing the bare minimum. These are the products Iโve been loving for that everyday, soft glam makeup moment.
Everyday Summer Makeup Favorites
DIBS Desert Island Duo in Shade 3
This is the product that made me fall in love with stick formulas all over again. Shade 3 is the perfect warm bronzer and dusty rose blush combo, ideal for when you want a healthy flush and subtle definition. The formula melts into the skin and blends like a dream with this brush. I swipe the bronzer along my cheekbones and hairline and pop the blush on the apples of my cheeks. It gives the perfect sun-kissed, beauty look!
DIBS Jam Jam Lip in Guava Glaze
This lip product lives in my bag at all times. Guava Glaze is the most flattering pinky-peach shade that instantly brightens your face and gives your lips a hydrated, juicy finish without being sticky. It smells amazing, too!
DIBS Duet Baked Bronzer in Caramel Cappuccino
If I want to level things up a bit from the stick bronzer, this is what I reach for. The baked formula gives the most beautiful soft-focus bronze that never looks muddy or orange. I use the deeper shade to add warmth and lightly contour, then sweep the light shade over the high points of my face for that lit-from-within glow.
DIBS Duet Baked Blush in Pop Star
This is the perfect topper blush! The shade Pop Star is this gorgeous pop of bright pink and soft shimmer that instantly lifts the face and adds a radiant finish. Itโs the kind of color that makes people say โyou look so fresh!โ
DIBS GlowBounce in Moonlit Glow
Think of this as your glow amplifier. I love tapping a little GlowBounce on the tops of my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose, and even across the lids for that glossy, almost dewy, skin effect. Itโs super lightweight, doesnโt feel sticky, and layers beautifully over both cream and powder products.
DIBS Status Stick in high Road Highlight
I like to think of this as my finishing touch. The Status Stick in Good Life Glow adds a soft champagne-pink shimmer wherever you need a little something extra. I love it as a final highlight on my cheeks or dabbed on my collarbones and shoulder when Iโm heading out. Itโs subtle but catches the light in the prettiest way. I apply this directly on my skin and buff it out with this brush.
Tartelette in Bloom Eyeshadow Palette
Iโve loved this palette for years and it continues to be a go-to for easy, everyday eye looks. The mix of soft mattes and luminous shimmers is perfect for creating that โI put in effort but didnโt try too hardโ vibe. My favorite shades for summer are Motivator in the crease and Go Getter or Creator on the lid for a soft shimmer that really pops in the sunlight.
Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Foundation in 5.75
This is my go-to foundation year round, but itโs also great as a base in the summer because it really stays! Itโs lightweight, radiant, and completely buildable without ever looking cakey. I wear shade 5.75 and even when Iโm wearing self tanner, matches perfectly. It blends so well and gifts that your-skin-but-better glow that Armani is known for. A forever favorite!
Armani Beauty Eyes to Kill Lengthening Mascara
This mascara gives long, separated lashes without clumps, flakes, or smudging. Even on hot, sweaty days! It lengthens beautifully without looking too dramatics for everyday wear but you can totally layer it up if youโre heading out.
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Iconic Nude
This lip liner is the perfect pinky-beige nude that defines your lips without ever looking overdone. I use it to slightly overfine and shape, then pair it with a gloss or lipstick (usually Dibs Jam Jam in guava glaze) for a full, pillowy look. The formula glides on smoothly and stays put, which makes it a staple for any summer beauty routine. If you donโt have this in your makeup bag yet, trust me, you need it.
These are the products I keep coming back to because they make me feel like me, just a little glowier. If youโre building your own summer routine, I hope this list gives you some favorites to try! And donโt forget, use code TAYLORLOVE to save on DIBS.
The power is in the blend with this brush!!
