5 Makeup Products You NEED for Summer 2023

Summer is right around the corner, which means it’s time for new makeup! From lightweight foundations that won't melt in the heat to vibrant blush powders that capture the essence of summer, here are the must-have summer makeup products to help you achieve a flawless and long-lasting look. Definitely add these products to your makeup list.


Let’s start off strong with primer:


1. Elf Power Grip Primer





The Elf Power Grip Primer has been an absolute game-changer for me. As someone who has struggled with keeping makeup in place all day, this product has helped a ton. From the moment I applied it, I could feel its velvety texture gliding onto my skin, creating a smooth canvas for my foundation. It is able to successfully hold my makeup in place for hours on end, and keeps my makeup looking fresh and not runny as it tends to by the end of a long day. This primer also has a subtle blurring effect that minimizes the appearance of pores and fine lines, giving a soft, airbrushed finish. I truly love this product and it has earned a permanent spot in my daily routine.




2. Maybelline BB Cream





Some of you may be wondering, what is the difference between BB Cream and foundation?


Foundation and BB cream are both used in the face step of the makeup process, but have some distinct differences. Foundation is typically a thicker, more pigmented product that provides heavier coverage. It is designed to even out skin tone, cover imperfections, and create a smooth base for the rest of your makeup. On the other hand, BB cream, which stands for "blemish balm" or "beauty balm," is a lighter product. It offers a range of skincare benefits, such as hydration and sun protection, as well as evening out skin tone. BB creams have a more natural finish, and use sheer to medium coverage, while foundation has a higher coverage and a more polished look. BB cream is a great option for those who prefer a more minimalistic approach with added skincare benefits. For me, this is a perfect product for the summer months.


The Maybelline BB Cream is amazing at providing me with a seamless base layer of makeup. It has a lightweight formula and instantly enhances the skin's appearance upon application. It conceals imperfections, blurs out uneven skin tone, and provides a natural and glowy finish to the skin. The Maybelline BB cream also has a diverse range perfect for many skin tones, and the shade match is great for me. My favorite aspect about this product is the lightweight formula as it allows for comfortable wear throughout the entire day, and you don't have the heavy feeling of makeup on your face as you typically do with certain foundations. The Maybelline BB cream also has a diverse range perfect for many skin tones, and the shade match is great for me.




3. Essence Luminous Bronzer





The Essence Bronzer gives me the best sun-kissed glow. The formula is very smooth and blends easily, giving my skin a natural-looking tan without any orangey or muddy tones. It lasts all day, even in hot weather. The compact packaging is great for on-the-go touch-ups, and the price is extremely affordable (one of the main reasons I love Essence). It even has a light coconut scent, which is perfect for those summer vibes! If you want a bronzer that's easy to apply, looks fantastic, and won't break the bank, definitely give the Essence Bronzer a shot.




4. Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm





It is very important to keep your lips hydrated not only in cold weather, but in the hot summer months as well. We cannot forget to take care of our lips and moisturize them after being in the sun for extended periods of time, which is why Maybelline Baby Lips is my life saver. This might be my favorite formula in a lip balm, ever. It is so hydrating and feels like a dream when I apply it. There are many scents to choose from, from "Cherry Me" to "Pink Punch." Some of these also have a tint to them, giving you that nice natural lip look! Also, the packaging is super cute and compact, making it easy to toss in my bag and take with me everywhere. If you want luscious and nurtured that feel amazing, Baby Lips is where it's at.




5. Lancôme Powder Blush






The Lancôme Powder Blush is a game-changer. It has a stunning packaging that is compact and can be carried around. The formula itself is very smooth and blends easily, and has great color payoff upon application. It is buildable and can be reapplied throughout the day, and comes in a diverse range of shades, from warm pinks to cool orange tones. Although this blush may be on the pricier side, it is high quality and worth the money as it delivers a stunning glow to the skin and a sun-kissed look perfect for the summer season.






All in all, these are some great products I 100% recommend for the upcoming summer months. Let me know if you try them out and if you like them!


Until next time,

Alice <3
