Start your summer off right by checking out this list of must-have beauty products that will keep you glowing and camera-ready all season long!
TOM FORD Make-up Brushes
These may be a little pricey, but they are absolutely worth every penny. The stark white bristles are incredibly soft, providing flawless application and blending. These brushes will keep you looking camera-ready from day to night. Bonus: if any bristles fall off the brush and stick to your skin, they aren’t noticeable!
NEON Nail Varnish
Neon is back for Spring/Summer 2022! If you’re not into wearing fluorescent clothes, a great alternative is a neon nail polish. Try fuchsia with a nude sandal—it’ll leave you wondering why you didn’t try this before! I recommend ORLY’s ‘Cabana Boy’ for the perfect neon look.
Supreme Moisturizer for Glowing Skin
A supple, glowing skin is a year-round essential. My all-time favorite body moisturizer is Avène Trixèra Emollient Balm (available at my McLean office). For best results, use a sugar scrub like LANARI’s Best Ever Sugar Scrub before moisturizing to remove dead skin cells and ensure your maximum glow!
Tweezerman Folding Ilashcomb
This is a dual-purpose makeup bag essential. After applying mascara, use this handy comb to eliminate clumps, and it’s also great for keeping stray eyebrow hairs in line.
Bosica Blotting Linens
If you notice more oil in your T-zone during summer days than in winter, these blotting linens will be your best friend. Keep them easily accessible and blot away excess oil throughout the day to keep your makeup looking fresh. Blotting linens are especially effective for oily skin types that struggle with midday shine. Remember, a little glow is healthy, but too much oil can cause your makeup to slip, crease, or separate. Unlike tissues or napkins, these linens absorb oil without disturbing your foundation, concealer, or powder. Simply press a sheet gently onto oily areas—no rubbing or wiping needed—to instantly mattify your skin.
They’re also great for touching up before important meetings, date nights, or photos when you want a polished look. Even better, Boscia’s linens come in a slim, portable pack that fits easily into your bag or car. Using blotting linens regularly can help extend your makeup’s wear time and prevent that dreaded “melting” look by evening. For best results, always blot first before reapplying any powder to avoid caking up your makeup.
