Summer 2026 Makeup Favorites

With the sunny days of summer finally upon us, I've been experimenting with some amazing new makeup products that help with oil control and the perfect look. These are my top 2026 must-have makeup products that I’m loving this season! Let's dive right in!

DANESSA MYRICKS BARRIER BOOST & GLOW SERUM

First on my list is the Danessa Myricks Barrier Boost. I’ll be honest, I had no idea how important skin prep was until I got my hands on these products. This barrier boost and glow serum quenches my dry skin and gives it a dewy look I love before applying foundation. Plus, it has skincare benefits that keep my skin moisturized throughout the day. It’s perfect for achieving that effortless, sun-kissed glow while providing a protective barrier against the summer elements.

BLURRING BALM & WATER POWDER SERUM

Another gem from Danessa Myricks is her Blurring Balm and the Water Powder Serum, which, although not featured in my image, is a game changer! As someone who gets very oily throughout the day, this combo keeps my makeup matte and intact. The Blurring Balm smooths out imperfections, creating a flawless canvas without feeling heavy. Meanwhile, the Water Powder Serum has a unique texture that controls shine while keeping my makeup lightweight. It might be my #1 product this summer. Consider adding it to your travel routine when visiting warmer climates. It will definitely be traveling with me when I visit home in the Caribbean.

BORN THIS WAY CONCEALER

Next up is a true classic: the Born This Way Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer. This is one of my holy grail products because it's affordable and effective! Whether I’m concealing imperfections or highlighting, this creamy concealer blends seamlessly into the skin for a natural finish. I use the shade Spiced Rum and go in with Mocha for extra brightness in the inner corners of my eyes. It’s full coverage, and it’s pocket-friendly, which is a big plus!

LYS CONTOUR STICK & MORPHE LIP PENCIL

Finally, I’ve been reaching for the LYS Contour Stick and Morphe Lip Pencil. The contour stick is so easy to use and highly pigmented. I use the shade "Worthy" and simply swipe and blend for a sculpted look. It gives me that sun-kissed warmth without looking too harsh. And the Morphe Lip Pencil? It's absolutely perfect for creating the most flattering lip combo. I use the shade “Trendsetter”, and I love how smoothly it applies.

So there you have it! My top makeup products for this summer! Each of these products not only makes my makeup routine easier but also helps me achieve a gorgeous finish that lasts through the warm weather. Have you tried any of these products yet? I’d love to hear about your summer favorites too!
