Hi hi! It may not be officially summer yet but this weather sure feels like it! Does anyone else survive the hotter months with must-have summer beauty products? I definitely do. I wanted to share my absolute favorites with you all – this list includes both waterproof and lightweight picks as well as products that will make you glow. Don’t head into summer without these! Today I’m sharing The Best List of Summer Beauty Items You Need This Year.
Don’t forget to check out my post, The Ultimate Summer Must Haves You Need in Your Closet!
URBAN DECAY EYESHADOW
The Urban Decay Naked Sin Eyeshadow Palette is a summer beauty must have for a few reasons. One, it contains light, blush-toned neutrals which scream summer. Also, these are longwear eyeshadows meaning they can last up to 12 hours and won’t crease (we all know the struggle on those hot summer days), and not to mention, the formula is super buttery and easy to blend.

IT COSMETICS CC+ CREAM FOUNDATION
It Cosmetics is one of my go-to’s! The CC+ Cream Foundation is great for the summer. It has SPF 50+ and is super lightweight. This is, believe it or not, actually 7 products in one!! Full-coverage foundation, hydrating anti-aging serum, broad-spectrum sunscreen, brightening color corrector, poreless-finish primer, dark spot concealer and moisturizing day cream. It’s a best-seller for a reason!

BEAUTYCOUNTER BROW GEL
I’ve been loving products from BeautyCounter! The Brilliant Brow Gel is the perfect summer beauty essential. We all need a solid brow product that’ll withstand sweat, heat and humidity – this is it for me! It has a natural tint (available in 5 shades), it’s flake-proof and buildable. Your brow routine is about to get so much easier with this gel – a few swipes is just about all you need!

BUXOM LIP PLUMPER
One of the most popular lip plumpers! The Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Cream is an absolute must-have for the summer! It’s creamy, refreshing and moisturizing while providing a slight plumping effect. I love the shade White Russian and recommend it as the perfect summer natural nude pink!

NUDESTIX 2-IN-1 SUMMER BEAUTY STICK
We all love a 2-in-1! This long-wearing Matte Blush & Bronzer Stick is great for daily wear and to take with you on-the-go! It’s available in 9 shades – I recommend one of the nudes because you can use it on your eyes, cheeks and lips. It’s on sale at Nordstrom right now so grab one before they’re gone!

CHARLOTTE TILBURY PRIMER & HIGHLIGHTER
The Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter Primer & Highlighter is my newest favorite summer beauty find! It’s blendable and buildable which makes it easy to suit your needs. I love how it makes my skin glow!! I’ve been wearing it with the Airbrush Flawless Foundation for lightweight, natural coverage.

TARTE EYE HIGHLIGHT
Highlighting certain parts of your face is a strategic way to look more awake, youthful, and glowy. Using a highlight in your waterline does just that! I recommend the Tarte Fake Awake Eye Highlight. It’s a universal nude gel eyeliner that instantly brightens your eyes! Great for daily wear.

TARTE CONCEALER
If you’ve been following me for a little while, you’ll know that I’m a huge fan of the Tarte Shape Tape Ultra Creamy Concealer! It comes in a ton of different shades, it provides full coverage, and will last ALL DAY (even through the hottest summer days!)

AUGUST + MONROE 3-IN-1 BLEMISH STICK
The 3-in-1 Blemish Camouflage Stick is my go-to! It not only conceals blemishes but it heals them at the same time. Additionally, it acts as a primer, can fade acne scars, matches your skin tone, and reduces redness. 10/10 recommend! Use code MELISSA10 for 10% off!

HOURGLASS WATERPROOF EYELINER
When I think summer beauty, the word “waterproof” is top of mind – especially for eyeliner, to ensure it doesn’t run. The Hourglass Waterproof Gel Eyeliner is the perfect pick! I’ve been using the shade Cave for a lighter, more natural look. It’s a great way to complete your daily makeup look!

HOURGLASS BRONZER
A good quality bronzer like the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer is essential! I love this one for the summer because it gives off a stunning shimmer to give you a sun-kissed glow while the radiant finish makes it look natural! This bronzer can be used in 2 ways – for a more defined look, you can use it to contour and for a light bronze glow, you can apply it all over your face!
