There’s something about summer that makes me want to simplify everything—especially my beauty routine. I want to look fresh, glowy, and sun-kissed without feeling like I’m wearing layers of makeup. Just a few favorites that give me that “I’ve been at the beach all day and somehow still look put together” kind of glow.
Lately, I’ve been leaning into these tried-and-true products that help me get that effortless, no-makeup look my readers always ask about—and I’m so excited to share them with you!
P.S. Enjoy more of my favorite beauty finds that I can’t live without for summer!
COASTAL BEAUTY FAVORITES FOR A SUN-KISSED—NO MAKEUP LOOK
Jones Road Miracle Balm in Miami Beach
This balm is everything. It gives the prettiest sheer wash of color with just the right amount of dewiness. The Miami Beach shade is perfect—like a vacation in a pot. I dab it onto my cheeks, lips, even my eyelids. It melts right into the skin and gives that warm, just-back-from-a-walk glow.
Queen Musia Hydrating Lip Balm
This balm is so good. It gives that juicy, soft lip look without being sticky or overly glossy. It’s deeply hydrating (which I love for long beach days or after the sun) and adds the prettiest sheer tint that pulls your whole no-makeup look together. One swipe and your lips feel like summer—hydrated, natural, and fresh.
Jones Road Bronzing Powder
I’ve tried a lot of bronzers and this one is such a winner. It’s super fine and blends beautifully. I dust it on where the sun naturally hits—cheekbones, forehead, nose, a little under the jawline—and it instantly makes me look more awake and sun-kissed (even if I’ve been at my desk all day).
Jones Road Tinted Face Powder
I use just a touch of this to set the areas I want to stay matte—usually around the nose and chin. It’s totally undetectable and keeps everything looking fresh but not overly shiny.
Charlotte Tilbury Wonder Glow Tinted Face Primer
This is the dream product for dewy, lit-from-within skin. I apply it under my balm or bronzer and it just makes my face look…better. Like I got a full 8 hours of sleep and a facial. If you haven’t tried this yet, you’re in for a treat.
Colleen Rothschild Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream
This is the one I reach for every morning. It brightens and hydrates my under eyes so well—and it has the tiniest bit of tint that helps me skip concealer most days. It’s like a little miracle for tired eyes.
I’ve been reaching for this little routine on repeat lately—whether I’m heading out for errands, a lunch date, or sitting down at my desk to write. It’s light, breathable, and gives me that effortless, “just got back from the beach” glow I always aim for. Most of these products have been in my beauty bag for years (truly can’t be without them!), but the Charlotte Tilbury primer and Queen Musia lip balm are two new favorites I recently added—and I’m already hooked. If you’re craving an easy, refresh for summer… enjoy these coastal beauty favorites for a sun-kissed—no makeup look.
