西西多Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+

Dermatologists and beauty editors would agree that a cardinal rule of preventing fine lines and wrinkles is using sunscreen. (After all, anti-wrinkle formulas aren’t worth using if you aren’t doing anything to prevent damage.) This handy stick from Shiseido makes both applyingandreapplyingsimple. Pop the cap off to reveal a transparent solid stick that glides across skin without squishing or leaving behind a slick, sticky mess. It's moisturizing, but not to the point that it will emulsify the makeup that’s on your face.That’smineral oiland polymers in its formula at work, explains cosmetic chemist Ginger King. She says that together, they “coat” your skin, which actually makes this sunscreen an effective primer, as well.

在这张照片中,我穿这个sunscre一层en as a primer (this is key for protection—don’t think you can just use it on top of makeup), followed by a full-coverage foundation, contouring products, and blush. Believe it or not, I had also applied this stick twice on top because my work station sits in front of floor to ceiling windows, and my full beauty look stayed intact. Sure, you can reach for a powder sunscreen for reapplication—but I love this option because of the dewy finish it leaves behind.It’s truly comfortable and eliminates any reason to not reach for the SPF.

Tula Skincare Hibiscus Lemonade Scrub

My biggest skin concern is dullness, so when curating my product lineup, I look for ones that can enhance my natural glow. This scrub does exactly that. It’s a summery take on the brand’sOG Sugar Scrubthat gently exfoliates with sugar and fruit enzymes, sloughing off dead skin, oils, and anything else that could be taking away from my natural radiance. Even better is its sweet citrus scent, which is reminiscent of Minute Maid pink lemonade—a summer staple in my home growing up.

Biography Petty Grudges Renew Drops

Working from home this summer, I discovered how stress-reducing it can be to take a meeting or two outdoors. Sometimes the serotonin burst feels so good, I end up out there for the bulk of the afternoon. But despite my strict sunscreen and umbrella habits, signs of sneaky UV exposure—dryness, more pronounced fine lines, a ruddier tone, lots ofspots—are showing up. Knowing that the most effective solutions (likeretinol) can increase sun sensitivity, I’ve turned to this face oil. Its three key ingredients—texture-improving rosehip oil, anti-inflammatory evening primrose oil, and antioxidant rose geranium leaf oil—have really taken the edge off, and the fragrance is so beautiful.Let’s just say I’m applying it morning, (sometimes) noon, and night.

Gisou Honey Infused Leave-In Conditioner

I love a goodleave-in conditioner. It truly makes a difference between wearing my hair down on a high humidity day or having to toss it into an elastic. The issue: Most are too heavy for my fine hair, which is why I’ve made this lightweight one my new go-to. Clean beauty fans will love that the cruelty-free formula is free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. What’s in it? Baobab extract, argan oil, panthenol, and honey (which, fun fact, comes from the founder’s family bee garden).

Jones Road Miracle Balm

您知道那秒钟应用的产品会改变一切吗？顶部的樱桃，即使是无化妆的脸也比平原更抛光了？betway娱乐首页对我而言，这是圣代饰面，我在只有防晒霜的皮肤上与“完成”的脸部使用一样多。Here’s how it works: you “break the seal,” as creator and makeup genius Bobbi Brown describes—meaning, you scrape the surface of the solid balm—then warm up the lifted bit between your fingers and press it into parts that need a bit of light reflection.For me, that's the tops of my cheeks, temples, bridge of my nose, and bottom of my chin. Instantly, skin looks pretty, polished, and slightly more radiant. As Bobbi puts it, "it's all in the name."

精通的情绪照明发光发光滴滴

I typically avoid wearing foundation in the summer because it’s just way too hot, but I do still want to boost my skin's radiance. Enter: Versed Mood Lighting Glow Drops. This serum-like formula not only gives me a lit-from-within glow, it makes my skin look smoother and more even in tone. The drops are amazing on their own but they definitely add a little extra pizzazz when worn with atinted moisturizer. A little goes a长的道路

Style Factor Edge Booster

Ever since I discovered Style Factor’s Edge Booster, I haven’t used another product on my edges. The silky pomade is made with naturalargan oil为了滋养头发，在提供牢固的握持的同时减少了堆积。其他边缘控制配方太油腻了，使我的头发剥落，或者只工作了几分钟，但是Edge Booster可以做的事情。

Black Girl Sunscreen

I know, I know: Team Byrdie can barely let a month go by without telling you all about our love for Black Girl Sunscreen, but I just had to add my voice to the chorus. I’ve been getting consistent compliments on my glowing complexion (a big deal for someone who has a very complicated relationship with her skin), and the comments pretty much always come on the days when I’m wearing this sunscreen. Not only does it protect me from harmful UVA and UVB rays, but the mix ofavocado, jojoba, and carrot juice leaves me with a lit-from-within canvas that makes it look like I just came back from a vacation at the Stunning Skin Resort and Spa (which is not a real place...but I’m thinking Black Girl Sunscreen should consider expanding).

稀有美女软捏液腮红

作为一个同样喜欢最大化妆容和阳光普照，低调的光芒的人，我的脸红最重要的品质是可建造的公式。betway娱乐首页对我而言，没有任何产品在这一点上也能像稀有美女的柔软捏液腮红一样提供。我是否想全力以赴'80s悬垂或足够的颜色增加尺寸，此范围内的阴影可以提供。虽然感激不尽充满活力的真红色，但总是会靠近我的心，但柔软的陶土阴影爱已成为我的首选。

1st Touch Down Edge Tamer Maximum Touch

This has instantly become my new go-to for my edges. Since I incorporated 1st Touch Down’s smooth, wax-like edge tamer into my haircare routine, my swoops have never been more sleek. Plus, there’s no crusty cast that shows up at the end of the night. It lives up to its promise of making edges stay put all day and leaves behind a sweet, fruity scent—I won’t be sweating rising temps now that I know my edges can hold their own in the summer heat. Frizz? Don’t know her.

Black Girl Sunscreen

I hate to admit it, but I’m pretty new to the sunscreen game. Last year, I would spend all day outside sans SPF. Now, I shudder at that thought. When my mom introduced me to Black Girl Sunscreen, I loved that it’s a Black-owned company and was wowed by the ingredients, which include skin-softening avocado and jojoba oils. I do miss the signature sunscreen scent that comes with some other products, but folks withsensitive skinwill appreciate the fragrance-free formula.

Silicon Mix Intensive Hair Deep Treatment

This is a true oldie but goodie. When I was wearing mysew-in我没有在这一个星期不能去。Any seasoned wig or weave wearer will know that sometimes extensions get a little dry and need some extra love: that’s where Silicon Mix’s Intensive Deep Treatment comes in. It’s not explicitly marketed towards wigs and weaves, but it can bring the most dehydrated extensions back to their softest state.

塔28Bronzino Illuminating Cream Bronzer

I have super fair skin, so I prefer a more sheer bronzer, and this one from Tower 28 delivers exactly what I’m looking for. The formula has a bit of shine (which I love) and a lightweight, blendable formula that can build your glow based on your vibe. I use the shade Sun Coast for a bronzed goddess look—perfect for summer months and beyond.

Manyo Factory纯净清洗油

我没有什么比双重清洁的人所忍受的，尤其是在夏季我不断重新涂抹防晒霜的时候，Manyo Factory Pure Cleansing Oil现在在我的架子上排名第一。我在晚上使用它hydrating face wash，并且它毫不费力地去除污垢，化妆和其他多余的油，而无需剥离我的皮肤。betway娱乐首页经过漫长的一天，我期待着它的天气气味，这可以提升我的夜间例行活动，并在我的一天附近享受豪华的味道。

Treslúce Intenso Liner

This month, the bright, bold eye looks I’ve seen on Team Byrdie have really inspired me to step up my color game. Fun shades of eyeliner are everywhere, but I’m especially loving this aqua pencil from Treslúce. The gorgeous blue-green shade brings out the yellow tones in my brown eyes, and the formula stays put for hours. I’m giving my black liquid liner a rest and having fun experimenting with new hues for the rest of this summer.

Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick

Fenty Beauty’s lip products have always been a hit with me, and I recently fell back in love with the Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick for its lightweight, creamy feel and matte finish. My favorite shade from the range is Shawty, a warm chestnut hue. Plus, it’s ultra-pigmented: In just one swipe, my lips are painted with intense color.

Tula Skincare Antioxidant Water Purifying Toner Face Mist

I always reach for a脸雾throughout the day to refresh my skin, and this new release from Tula has quickly become my go-to. It’s infused with a blend of skin-loving ingredients, like witch hazel and cucumber water, that leave my complexion rejuvenated after every spritz.

不公平Golden Angel Face and Body Highlighter SPF 15

我喜欢使用能给我带来天然露水发光的产品。最近，我一直在使用这个面部和身体荧光笔，从而实现了从中亮起的外观。我一直在裸露的皮肤上应用该产品，我喜欢在应用后照亮我的皮肤。

About-Face Daytripper Matte Fluid Eye Paint

我的夏季之作:大变脸的马tte Fluide Eye Paint in Replicant. It's a super-pigmented liquid eyeshadow that's a breeze to apply and stays put all day and night. The shade is a vibrant aqua color, like a mix between crystal clear ocean water and Palm Springs pools. It certainly packs a punch.

Mented High Brow Pencil

I can't stop using Mented's High Brow Pencil. I'm a brows gal, so likely I'll have them groomed and fluffed even if I'm wearing nothing else on my face. Usually, I use a tinted gel because it's easy and gets the job done. That is, until I tried this little pencil. I first read about it when one of our writers called it out in hermost recent makeup piece(thank you so much, Sierra), and I haven't let it out of my sight since. The light-brown shade is the perfect ashy brown—not too red—and the precision tip allows for real, natural-looking strokes.It stays on for hours but comes off with a quick wash. I'm smitten.

生活证明Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo

As someone who prefers the look of freshly-washed hair, I've always considereddry shampoosomething of a necessary evil. It helps me tolerate my second-day hair, but I'm hyper-aware of its presence on my scalp. However, Living Proof's new PhD Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo—an upgraded version of their cult-favorite original—has forced me to reconsider my stance. Not only does it make my day-old hair look freshly washed, but it actually makes itfeelclean too. The new formula is designed to mimic the results of a traditional shampoo, and uses fast-absorbing powders to soak up the oil and sweat that causes hair to look greasy.Plus, it balances your sebum levels so you can wait even longer between washes, and it leaves absolutely no residue behind.

北斗星Forest Alchemy Eye Cream

As any Ursa Major fan will tell you, the clean beauty brand rarely releases new products. It has high standards when it comes to new offerings, and products often spend years in development. So when a launch is finally announced, you know it's going to be good—and the new Forest Alchemy Eye Cream is no exception. After trying the all-in-one formula myself, I'm convinced it might just be one of the only eye products I'll ever need. The formula is packed with ingredients like white oak bark stem cells, which help to plump and re-densify thin skin, and tremella mushroom, which can absorb and retain 500 times its own water weight.The rich, thick consistency feels more like aneye maskthan a cream, but it sinks into skin instantly and leaves it looking plump, smooth, and moisturized.

Skinergy Beauty AHA Skin Mist

There's something so enticing about a face mist. A glow-including and makeup-refreshing elixir that works with just a few spritzes? I'll try any one that comes across my desk. Unfortunately, myrosacea- 责任皮肤并不总是同意我的痴迷 - 即使我尝试过的一些最温和的配方也引起了刺激和刺痛感。然而，这种来自Skinergy美景的新产品使我的皮肤具有湿度和辐射性的增强性，并且刺激性绝对为零。它充满了乳酸和乙醇酸等AHA，可轻轻去角质，而Geranium和Aloe等成分舒缓了皮肤并防止发红 - 完美地进行了中午的接送。

Atticus Mineral Cleanser

I treat my adult acne with不同, and most cleansers I've come across for oily skin are too harsh for me. They either contain more actives I don't need or strip my skin with sulfates. Atticus's Mineral Cleanser does neither. It has a gentle lather that makes my skin tingle in a good way and leaves me feeling fresh but not tight. The clay blends feel cool on my skin, making me feel ready to take on hot summer days.

Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise

Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution Lipstick in Walk of Shame is my favorite of all time, so I was thrilled when they came out this month with a matching shade for their cult-favorite cream eyeshadow. The formula is thin like paint, easy to spread with a brush or your fingers. When I'm inside my apartment and want to make my eyes pop on Zoom, I pat it on for a sheer wash of color. When I wear it out, the trick is to dab it over a neutral powder eyeshadow for longer wear. I wore it to a wedding, and even my dad complimented me on the color.

It Cosmetics CC+ Cream

I wore this CC cream in college when my acne was more noticeable, and I just resumed my love affair with it this month when I had to step in and help out with新娘派对化妆betway娱乐首页at a friend's wedding. My friends rarely wear makeup and were nervous around foundation—this was the one I recommended they try. The natural-yet-buildable coverage, SPF 50, and long-lasting result can't be beat. I liked the way it looked so much on everyone that I'm now using it again for everyday wear. One of my (not makeup-informed) coworkers said, "What are you doing to your skin?It looks perfect." The ultimate compliment.

Pixi On The Glow Blush

I was once the person who pulled out轮廓套件and blush palettes daily. (I was young and much less occupied then.) Now, my routine consists of anything I can apply and blend with a quick dab. This blush fits the bill and has been a favorite of mine lately—a quick swipe delivers a natural flush of color that's perfect for summertime. I love that it's also buildable so that you can go from sheer to punchy color payoff in just a few layers.

Anastasia Beverly HillsStick Highlighter

来自贝弗利山脉（Anastasia Beverly Hills）的Anastasia荧光笔也可以在紧凑的棍棒中轻松发光。我一直在使用冰冰冰，一种古铜色的金色闪光，像黄油一样用手指融化到我的皮肤上，这是一件金色小时饮料的必备品，或者只是快速接我的视频通话。

Burt's Bees Squeezy Tinted Lip Balm

我是一个有色润唇膏的吸盘，它给我足够的颜色和最大的水分。我喜欢这个新的伯特的蜜蜂配方，它可以自然地洗净颜料，并保持皮肤柔软和水分。我始终将这个管子放在书包中，全天重新涂抹。

E.L.F.Big Mood Volumizing Mascara

Please, let me put you on to this incredible new launch from e.l.f. Cosmetics. Colossal, fluffy lashes are my signature style—but so is saving money. Enter: the brand's new Big Mood Volumizing Mascara. This stuff is $7, but it performs like a prestige formula that's triple the price. The hourglass-shaped applicator is designed to saturate and lift each individual lash, transforming my short, straight, blonde lashes into a set that rivals falsies. Try it and be amazed (and since I know you're wondering, it comes off super easily with a little bit of micellar water at the end of the day).

大声漫游is quickly becoming one of my favorite athleisure brands. I waxed poeticabout the Yanta Top last month, but this month I couldn't stop re-wearing the Yanta Leggings. They're stretchy, cozy, andactuallystay up during my workouts. Wear them for whatever movement brings you joy, whether that's a HIIT class or a morning stroll to grab a cold brew.
