We may be in the last throes of summer before cooler temperatures hit, so why not make the most of these dwindling days with colorful makeup that packs a punch? The following 5 makeup must-have’s will help you put your best face forward.
1. Tarte Cheek Stain in “Tipsy”
All of Tarte’s award-winning gel cheek stains are perfect for sweltering summer temps, but we like “Tipsy” for its sheer peach flush with just a hint of shimmer. Plus, gel blush can stand up to the heat much better than powder can!

2. Stila Eye Shadow Compact in “Mimosa”
Many of Stila’s single eyeshadows are the perfect compliment to bright summer hues, but we like Mimosa for its wearability – and, honestly, its name! This peachy-orange hue is a cinch to sweep on, but make sure to use a primer beforehand for maximum staying power.

3. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in “Sweetheart”
Combining the moisturizing power of a balm with the lasting power of a stain, Revlon’s latest lip creation is an absolute must-have for summer. We like “Sweetheart” because of its bright pink hue – honestly, it stands alone (no other makeup required!)

4. Avon Nailwear Pro+ Nail Enamel in “Sunshine”
This bright, sunny yellow looks perfect on tips and toes this summer! Plus, the formula helps increase nail strength and resists nicks, dings and bangs for up to 12 days of glossy, high-shine wear.
