This post will show you the best beauty and makeup products for Summer 2025.
A new season is the perfect time for a refresh, whether it’s your wardrobe or your living space. But while many of us are more focused on swapping out our jackets and boots in favor of tank tops and sandals, we can’t forget about our makeup routines! Just like your clothing, your beauty look can use an update to keep things feeling (and looking) fresh.
That is why I’ve compiled the 14 best beauty and makeup products for Summer 2025, from the hottest new releases in beauty to some tried-and-true favorites that have our stamp of approval.
Everything is under $55 (with plenty of options under $20), so you won’t have to break the bank to update your makeup bag.
If you want to achieve a glowy, natural makeup look that is going to stay in place and survive the summer’s high temperatures, you’ll want to put these 14 items on your radar ASAP!
1. SACHEU Peel Off Lip Liner STAY-N
Lip tints and stains have become some of the hottest makeup products to have everyone on social media raving about, and for good reason. Rather than have to worry about constantly touching up your lips (we all know how quickly lipstick and lip gloss can fade or smudge), lip stains tint your lips with a wash of color that stays in place for a longer period of time.
In particular, SACHEU’s Peel Off Lip Liner STAY-N has become a fan favorite, as it can be used both as a lip liner and/or all over your lips as a full lip stain. The application is what makes this product especially fun to use: paint it on your lips, let it dry, and then peel it off to reveal your tinted lips or lip line.
I use this product when I want my lip color to stay in place for hours, so anytime I’m heading to dinner or going out on the town, this lip liner stain is a must!
Pro tip: Be sure to apply it at the beginning of your makeup routine, so that it can dry as you do the rest of your face. By the time you finish with your base and eye makeup, it should be ready to peel off! You can then leave the stain as is, or top your lips off with some gloss to add shine and moisture.
2. PATRICK TA Major Glow Nourishing Bronzing Body Oil
Who doesn’t want to have bronzed, glowing skin?! Summer is the ultimate time to show off your skin, so make yours look its very best with the Major Glow Nourishing Bronzing Body Oil.
Leave it to celebrity makeup artist Patrick Ta to create a product to instantly make your skin red carpet-ready: this universal body oil will give you a golden glow while nourishing your skin with ingredients like acai oil and cupuassu butter that add moisture and enhance skin elasticity. Golden warm pearls add shine and illumination without glitter, so that you look naturally lit from within.
Not only that, but the body oil features a warm floral scent with notes of bergamot, jasmine, and sandalwood, so you can even skip out on perfume!
This luxurious product is perfect to use for vacation, nights out, or when you’re going to be capturing content for your social media, so that you look radiant, bronzed, and glowy (while also smelling good).
3. L’Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray Mist
I love the summertime, but I don’t love it when my makeup starts melting off my face when it’s hot outside! Heat, humidity, sweat… these are classic signs of summer, and enemies of a good face “beat.” If you want your makeup to stay in place through all of that, you’ll need a solid setting spray in your arsenal.
L’Oreal Paris’s Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray Mist is a microfine mist that will lock in your makeup for up to 36 hours of wear, and makes your makeup transfer, sweat, and smudge-resistant.
Does the container look a bit like hairspray? Yes, and I’m not going to lie, it feels a bit like hairspray, too. This is more of a “heavy duty” product, so while it’s not necessarily an everyday setting spray, it is best suited for events where you really need your makeup to last, especially if you’ve done a full glam look—think weddings, parties, nights out, etc.
The aerosol mist is microfine, so it will dry quickly upon proper application and offers a natural finish that won’t budge.
4. ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray
On the other hand, the idea of locking down your makeup may not appeal to you. Instead, you’d rather achieve glass-like skin that is ultra-hydrated and dewy. If that’s the case, you’ll want to try the new Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray from ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr.
This skincare-infused setting spray seamlessly melts powder layers for a radiant, glass-like finish that lasts all day. It features ingredients like ginger flower water, lime pearl extract, and a ceramide complex, which all work to improve your skin’s moisturization and radiance. By “melting” your makeup together, it creates a more seamless, natural look, almost like TikTok’s beauty filter!
You can also apply this spray before makeup to create a hydrated base, as well as throughout the day for an extra boost of moisture.
5. Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip + Cheek Blush Balm Stick
Speaking of glass skin, the Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip + Cheek Blush Balm Stick from Haus Labs by Lady Gaga is going to give you just that!
This long-wearing lip and cheek balm glides on buildable, glassy color that feels weightless on the skin and creates a naturally “flushed” look that is perfect for the summertime. It is infused with skincare ingredients like goji berry complex and fermented arnica, which work to boost radiance and reduce redness and irritation.
And since this is a multi-use product, you’re getting more bang for your buck, as you can use this both as blush and on your lips. Love that!
Reviews for this product rave about how beautifully it blends, as well as how impressive its wear time is.
6. Tower28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray
This isn’t a new product, but it’s a tried-and-true product that is a lifesaver if you have acne-prone skin, especially during the summertime!
This is a hypochlorous acid spray that has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties to help defend your skin from harmful bacteria that can cause acne. Additionally, it reduces redness and soothes irritation, helping to calm red, irritated skin.
Personally, I buy the mini version of this spray and bring it with me to use after workouts and during travel. It’s a great way to feel like you washed your face when you aren’t able to, and I love knowing that it’s helping stop acne in its tracks before I can properly cleanse my face at home. I also use it before applying makeup if I’m worried about a potential breakout.
FYI, this product has the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance™, National Psoriasis Foundation Seal of Recognition, and the National Rosacea Society Seal of Acceptance, so you know you’re in good hands with it!
6. MAKE UP FOR EVER Super Boost Moisturizing & Plumping Lip Gloss
Guess what? MAKE UP FOR EVER recently came out with a hydrating, plumping lip gloss version of their iconic lip liner in the shades “Wherever Walnut” and “Anywhere Caffeine” (among other new shades)!
The brand’s Artist Color Pencil Longwear Lip Liner has been a fan favorite for years, delivering creamy, pigmented color and long-lasting results. In particular, the shades “Wherever Walnut,” a warm rose nude hue, and “Anywhere Caffeine,” a warm caramel nude, are the most talked-about—you’ve probably seen these on your TikTok FYP more times than you even realize!
Now, you can complement these beloved lip liners with coordinating lip gloss that is infused with hyaluronic acid that will moisturize and smooth your lips for a flawless look.
This long-wearing lip gloss has a comfortable and cooling plumping effect, with the option to choose from either a shimmer finish or a high-shine finish—both are super shiny and will make your lips look glassy in the best way.
7. L’Oreal Paris Lumi Highlighter Stick
Full glam is fun, but most of the time, I’m going for a more natural look, especially during the summer months. When it’s hot outside, you don’t want heavy layers of makeup on your skin, which is why cream products are ideal, since they feel more weightless compared to powders.
With that in mind, the Lumi Highlighter Stick from L’Oreal Paris is great for achieving a glassy, “lit from within” look. It’s super easy to swipe on thanks to its stick design, and can be applied not only on your face, but also on your body (think neck and collarbone areas) to give you glow.
You can choose from three shades that offer a glassy, reflective finish that is translucent or three shades that offer a glowy, satin finish, which are luminous.
This product layers well over makeup, and can even be applied on the go with little need for precision.
9. NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Bronzer
While it’s true that I prefer cream products during the summertime for a more natural look, that doesn’t mean that all powder formulas are on the chopping block for the season. For example, NYX Professional Makeup’s Buttermelt Bronzer glides on like butter (hence its name).
It is infused with mango butter, shea butter, and almond butter, giving it a buttery feel and creating a seamless bronze. And in the summer, isn’t looking bronzed the goal?!
Side note: I adore bronzing products because they give you a bronzed, tan look without the harmful effects of actual tanning in the sun. Be sure to wear plenty of SPF when you’re out in the sun this summer!
Now, back to the product. It’s ultra-pigmented, and because it’s so buttery, it has a creamy feel that doesn’t make it feel like a traditional powder formula. This also means that it doesn’t look cakey on the skin, and at under $10, that is a big win!
10. e.l.f. SKIN Bronzing Drops
Another way to get bronzed, minus the sun’s harmful rays? Bronzing drops!
This “bronze in a bottle” is an easy and affordable way to get a bronzed, glowy look that is customizable based on how many drops you use. You can mix these tinted serum drops in with your face moisturizer and/or SPF and make it look like you just got back from a vacation, no matter what your summer plans entail.
Bronzing drops are also great for days when you don’t feel like wearing makeup; by mixing these with your daily moisturizer, your complexion will look healthier and radiant with minimal effort and without foundation or concealer. Letting your skin “breathe,” especially when it’s super hot outside, is key (especially for avoiding breakouts), so bronzing drops are such a game-changer.
11. MILK MAKEUP Hydro Grip 12-Hour Hydrating Gel Skin Tint
During the summer, it’s skin tints over foundation all the way. Skin tints feel so much lighter on the skin, while still doing a pretty good job of covering imperfections and evening out your skin tone.
It’s no secret that there are a ton of skin tints out there to choose from, but MILK MAKEUP’s new Hydro Grip Gel Skin Tint is making waves with its grippy yet hydrating formula that sets it apart from others on the market.
With buildable light to medium coverage, this skin tint is extremely hydrating thanks to its triple-powered hyaluronic acid, so it’s going to give you a glowy, dewy look (which is especially ideal for dry skin girlies). It’s also clean, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic, making it safe for those who are acne-prone or have sensitive skin.
My favorite part about this skin tint? Its unique texture that grips to your skin, making you feel like it will stay in place rather than slide around, as some base products do. This is because of the blue agave extract in the formula, which prevents fading and creasing—issues that are much more common during the summer!
12. Urban Decay Cosmetics Face Bond Long-Lasting Blush Suede
Blush that is waterproof, sweat-resistant, and fade-resistant? Sign me up!
These are key benefits to look for when shopping for summertime makeup, and Urban Decay Cosmetics’ Face Bond Blush is checking all the right boxes.
Delivering up to 24 hours of wear, this long-lasting blush is going to stay in place and offers a blurred matte finish. It has a soft, suede-like texture (hence its name) thanks to its oil-in-powder formula that is going to give you a vibrant pop of color on your cheeks.
If you need your makeup to last you all day or night, this is a great blush option to try out.
13. Tower 28 Beauty SOS FaceGuard SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen
The internet is buzzing about Tower 28 Beauty’s new mineral sunscreen, which is packed with clean, acne-safe ingredients and makes for a great primer to use at the start of your summer beauty routine, since it’s essential to start with SPF!
Featuring a gentle, non-greasy mineral SPF 30 that was made with sensitive and acne-prone skin in mind, this non-acnegenic SPF hydrates, soothes, and leaves skin looking fresh (no white cast!). It comes in one shade that blends into all skin tones and won’t pill under makeup, which is crucial for a good base.
In addition to its broad spectrum protection, it also has ingredients that calm irritated skin and a ceramide blend to help skin retain moisture.
Best of all, it is water and sweat-resistant, making it ideal for the summertime!
We’ve covered lip stains, but how about a contour stain? Now that’s innovation!
The goal with summer makeup is getting it to last, since the heat (and subsequently, sweat) can cause it to melt off much more quickly compared to other seasons during the year. That’s why we are focusing on products with staying power, and stains are the ultimate choice—and not just for your lips!
SACHEU’s contour stain has a blendable liquid formula that will help you contour your face by creating natural-looking shadows for a sculpted look. Its long-lasting formula means minimal touch-ups or fading, and it’s filled with conditioning ingredients to deliver a radiant, dewy glow that is so summery. The product’s built-in sponge tip also makes application a breeze!
