For the concealer girlies
Can’t skip the concealer? Here’s an excellent option for that lightweight but still creamy texture we all adore. I’ve found Milk’s line of products consistently impressive, and their Sunshine Under Eye Tint + Brighten is about to become your best friend. This light-coverage eye concealer, enriched with the restorative properties of vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, is crafted to illuminate and visibly diminish dark circles under the eyes.
This product also reduces waste by 60 percent, allowing you to repurchase more sustainably. It’s no surprise it snagged the best under-eye concealer title in the 2022 Self Magazine Healthy Beauty Awards.

Get set, brow, and conquer
I’ve put many eyebrow products to the test, but nothing quite nails it like the Benefit Cosmetics 24-Hr Brow Setter Clear Brow Gel with Lamination Effect. This gel brush has got you covered on all sides—on one hand, long bristles that coat the hair from root to tip and on the other, equipped with short bristles that let you sculpt and shape your brows just how you like them. This is my ride-or-die brow mascara that keeps everything in place all day long without that powdery or flaky nonsense.

Sun-kissed on a blush? Absolutely!
Keeping that blush intact all day, especially in the summer heat, can be challenging. The good news is that after putting a few products to the test, I can confidently say that Milk’s Cooling Water Jelly Tint lives up to the hype. Its hydrating, bouncy jelly texture glides with a sheer yet buildable pop of color that lasts all day.
What’s even more incredible about this tint is that it’s not just for your cheeks—it’s perfect for your lips, too. True to its name, it also delivers a refreshing, cooling sensation, making it a must-have during scorching summer days. The tint does dry quickly though, so it’s advisable to blend as you proceed.

Set it and forget it
I’ve always been a dewy girl at heart, so powders weren’t really my thing. But Kosas Cloud Set Setting Powder completely turned things around for me. It flawlessly sets my makeup without compromising that radiant glow I adore. And can we talk about how lightweight it feels on the skin? It’s like wearing nothing at all.
This magical powder is packed with skincare ingredients like bamboo stem extract that absorbs excess sebum, passionfruit leaf extract that soothes skin and minimizes fine lines, and Chinese peony that slightly mattifies the skin and lessens the appearance of pores. It also gives skin that filtered look without going overboard.
