1. Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush, which is more of a skincare serum than it is makeup! This serum blush contains jojoba-coated pigments that, yes, add a cute flush to the skin — but also help moisturize the skin deeply for a dewy, bouncy effect.

Sephora

Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE!! I was literally STALKING this product and got it as soon as it was early access. If you're a natural/light makeup girlie this is definitely worth it for you. I want the other color, too, lol!!! It's so glowy and gorgeous; it's definitely worth it. I have never been a Glow Recipe girl, but this is def a worth-it product." —skitty21

Price: $25 (available in two shades)

2. Saie's Glowy Super Gel brings the pearl skin trend to the forefront of your beauty routine. This water-based gel is full of hydrating glycerin and squalane to plump the skin, while its reflective properties add a radiant glow to the complexion. Plus, it's super lightweight and multiuse — you can mix it into your moisturizer or foundation, use it as a primer, or quickly apply it to the body for an all-over glow!

Sephora

Promising review: "This is the best glowy primer and base! Great for my dry skin and keeps me looking healthy and glowy all day long. Highly recommend." —cs1211

Price: $17+ (available in two sizes and four shades)

3. Summer Fridays' Lip Butter Balm wraps your lips in silky hydration that lasts for a while, thanks to shea and murumuru seed butters. It comes in a few semi-sheer colors and leaves behind a chic, glossy (no, not sticky — glossy) finish.

Sephora

Promising review: "This is my holy grail for my extremely dry lips. I love the feeling, and it stays on for a long time." —relax4lfe

Price: $24 (available in 10 shades)

4. Patrick Ta's Major Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo contains all of Patrick Ta's secrets for long-lasting wear. You're supposed to use the powder bronzer first and then "set" it with the crème contour — this creates a dewier finish than if you were to use crème then powder, while still offering a bronzed-goddess-glow that lasts all day.

Sephora

Promising review: "LOVE this contour! The pigment is amazing and blends so nicely on my skin. It plays well with my other makeup and gives me a nice contour. Both the crème and the powder are AMAZING!" —CaseyMarie123

Price: $42 (available in four shades)

5. Makeup by Mario's Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals, because it's the first cool-toned palette that has made my jaw drop in years. This is the palette if you've done your seasonal color analysis and need something neutral for your winter or summer undertones.

Sephora

Promising review: "I loved the original master mattes and its formula so I was very excited for this! It’s basically a cooler version of the original, and it’s become a new everyday staple. The formula and colors are everything I could’ve wanted!" —Nanulul

Price: $52

6. Nécessaire's The Body Wash, aka everything you need to turn your showers into a spa-like experience. This body wash contains AHAs, BHAs, *and* PHAs to gently exfoliate, and calming hinoki oil to ensure skin feels nourished after every wash — not tight!

Sephora

Promising review: "I’ve been using the eucalyptus one for years and thought I loved it, but after this, I’m never going back. The scent is divine. I’ve already tried to find perfume and candles with hinoki. It also works. I had some uneven skin on my chest that’s totally cleared up. New holy grail for me." —meesh22

Price: $28

7. Biodance's Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask to seriously up the ante on your morning shed. This mask is infused with collagen and grips onto your skin to allow ingredients to penetrate deeper. Most people sleep with this on (it does stay put — I can attest!) and remove it in the morning for a smooth, glowy complexion.

Sephora

Promising review: "Must add to your skincare routine!!!! Loved this product! The mask was so cool and felt good on my skin. I slept with it on. Removed in the morning and my skin felt well hydrated and had a smooth dewy appearance. Skin felt hydrated. Great price point!" —PTYPeaches 

Price: $5 for one mask (also available in a pack of four)

8. Tata Harper's Clarifying Mask because it's what I rely on whenever I need a facial-like glow in an instant — and I'll never stop recommending it to anyone willing to listen. With AHAs and BHAs, this mask helps to calm acne, whisk away dead skin cells, and help radiate the skin.

Sephora

Promising reviews: "This mask has always given me results compatible to paying for a facial at a spa. I’ve been using it since 2015 I believe. Almost 10 years." —gardeniasunrise

"I have hormonal fluctuation breakouts and use this mask once/week to keep my skin clear throughout the month. It hydrates and exfoliates at the same time, smells beautiful and skin is noticeably brighter, smoother immediately. Any pimple that manages to try and come up is snuffed out." —michimichi33

Price: $75

9. Merit's Great Skin Instant Glow Serum is chock-full of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to help brighten and hydrate the skin in a few swipes. It's the perfect prep product for your five-minute makeup routine.

Sephora

Promising review: "I decided to try this based on the reviews, and I am so impressed. What a great find! I am so pleased with the results and the difference in how my skin looks. This serum leaves skin soft, smooth, and supple. It goes on easily and has no scent. I can use this with other products or alone. It truly does what it says. Love it!" —frangerine

Price: $18+ (available in two sizes)

10. Shiseido's Ultimate Sun Protector Face and Body Lotion SPF 60+ Sunscreen because protecting your skin from the sun doesn't always have to mean slathering it in a white cast and gritty texture. This sunscreen glides on clear and soaks into the skin, leaving behind a radiant glow.

Sephora

Note: Based on the AAD Guidelines all sunscreens should have an SPF of at least 30 and protect against UVA and UVB rays. 

Promising review: "I love this sunscreen! Goes on beautifully and blends in without a white cast. Tried cheaper ones, but nothing compares! Amazing to combat Florida sun and my sensitive Tretinoin skin." —vanillakisses

Sephora

Promising review: "Babes, honestly buy it. Love the bronze look, and it blends perfectly with a moisturizer. Also, if you’re debating over the price, it’s worth it. Mine has lasted over a year I still have product left. Like, it’s shocking me!" —LadyLondon4

Price: $39

13. Olaplex's No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector restores hair back to its natural glory! This product contains Olaplex's Bond Building Technology, which repairs bonds that break due to things like heat styling, color damage, or chemical services.

Sephora

Promising review: "If you have curly hair (mine is 3b, 3c), this is a MUST have. I had heat damage, and it brought my curls back to life! I personally keep two bottles at home at a time because it’s just that good." —raquelll97

Price: $30+ (available in two sizes)

14. Tarte's Tartlette XL Tubing Mascara if you're always after a mascara formula that makes it look like you're wearing lash extensions. Since this is a tubing formula, it's water-resistant, but it still washes off easily at the end of the day.

Sephora

Promising review: "I don’t think I’ll buy a different mascara ever again. It doesn’t smudge or flake, and it comes off so easily with water you never have to scrub your eyes." —emilyxscott

Sephora

Promising review: "This is my first review ever because this product is just that amazing! I have extremely dry skin, so it’s hard to find a moisturizer that works for me. This lotion is AMAZING!! And I can feel the difference!" —nx6791

Price: $45+ (available in two sizes)

17. The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, which contains glycolic acid, one of the most popular alpha-hydroxy acids to help melt away dullness and dead skin cells. To help offset any irritation, this formula includes Tasmanian pepperberry derivative plus aloe vera to help instantly soothe the skin.

Sephora

Promising review: "I love using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner! It’s been a game changer for my skincare routine, especially in helping to fade my post-acne marks. After consistent use, my skin feels smoother and more even, and the dark spots have noticeably lightened. It’s gentle enough for regular use, yet effective enough to make a visible difference. Highly recommend it if you're dealing with post-acne pigmentation or just want brighter, clearer skin!" —alimka14

Price: $8.70+ (available in two sizes)

18. Davines' Solu Clarifying Shampoo is my absolute favorite for getting rid of gunk on my scalp and strands that accumulate throughout the week. This gorgeous-smelling formula contains buckwheat extract, which is chock-full of amino acids and antioxidants to help fortify and protect your hair from environmental stressors.

Sephora

Promising reviews: "Leaves my thick color-processed hair so light and soft, and my scalp feels less oily. I wash my hair 2–3 times a week on swim days and use lots of leave-in treatments. This works way better than shampoos to dechlorinate and clarify." —LottaLei

Price: $37

19. Laneige's Bouncy + Firm Sleeping Mask, just in case slugging with Vaseline may be too much for you, but you still want something thicc to soak into your skin overnight. This mask contains a proprietary peony and collagen complex to help increase skin firmness, hydro-melt glow capsules to help support the lipid barrier, and hyaluronic acid for a boost in hydration.

Sephora

Promising review: "I struggle with keeping up with a skincare routine, so I was looking for a product to 'do it all.' I just use one other serum and this sleeping mask at night, and I wake up the next morning with soft, glowy skin. Definitely will repurchase." —tcmchelen

Price: $36

20. Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Liquid Blush is one of the best blushes for adding intense color while feeling weightless on the skin. Seriously, just one teensy drop is enough to add a flush to both cheeks, and it lasts for hours.

Sephora

Promising review: "I love this blush. I usually go for powder blush, and I was scared to try liquid blush, but I’m amazed with the results. Easy to blend and has a good amount of pigment. Would highly recommend." —gursimran13

Sephora

22. Ouai's St. Bart's Hair and Body Mist, because you deserve to smell like you're on a bougie vacation, even while you're stuck in your office.

Sephora

Promising review: "Smells amazing. This product smells like you're on a private island sipping coconut water out of a coconut on the beach with a bowl of fruit sitting next to you. Very distinct smell, and I promise it lasts all day long." —beachpreppy

Price: $12+ (available in three sizes)

24. Dae's Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream makes it quick and easy to lay your edges or create a slicked-back bun that lasts for hours. While other waxes can leave hair feeling crunchy, this styling cream contains dragon fruit and prickly pear seed oil to help lock in moisture and create a lustrous shine.

Sephora

Promising review: "I absolutely love this wand. It does a good job of holding my thick hair back when I do hairstyles. Even when I leave my hair out, I like to run the wand on my ends to smoothen them. And it smells so good. I was thinking about what new hair perfume to buy since my Gisou perfume is running out, but I realized that this product also works as a hair scent. It’s so multifunctional, making it well worth the price." —kaziana

Price: $18

25. Drunk Elephant's Protini Polypeptide Cream, which has a whopping NINE different signal peptides that all do different jobs on your skin, like plumping, brightening, and, of course, moisturizing.

Price: $23+ (available in two sizes and also in a refill)

26. Tatcha's Rice Wash gets wayyyyy down into your pores to help get rid of gunk. While this soft cream-to-foam works to buff the skin clean, hyaluronic acid and red algae work over time to moisturize the skin for a nonstripping feel.

Sephora

Promising review: "Every time my friends or family come over, they use this. And every time they are like?? OK, wow that's amazing. It's just the best. I didn't know a cleanser that's on your face for like max 60 seconds could make such a difference, but it does." —KaityLauz

Price: $18+ (available in two sizes) 

27. Peace Out's 2% Salicylic Acid Early Stage Acne Dots helps you say buh-bye to breakouts in a flash.

What's more, these patches actually contain salicylic acid to help dissolve clogged pores and fade scars quicker.

Sephora

Promising review: "I tried these on a cystic flare-up, and it worked wonders!! I usually break out around my period, so I put them on a couple of spots I could feel forming. They cleared up areas that would’ve been around for a week." —Michelina R.
