These Products Are My Secret to Dewy, Sun-Kissed Skin

With summer just around the corner, I've been feeling the need to refresh my makeup routine and embrace my summer glow. Lately, I've been all about that dewy, sun-kissed vibe—the kind of look that says "I woke up like this" (even if it took 15 minutes and a good concealer to pull it off). The ultimate goal is to achieve radiant skin that looks hydrated and bronzed, like I just spent a summer in the South of France versus in front of my laptop.
Over the years, I've tried almost every glow-boosting product on the market, but recently, I've discovered a handful that I keep reaching for. And when something makes it into my everyday rotation, you know it's really good. These products are my new ride-or-dies, the ones I reach for when I want to look like I've had 10 hours of sleep, a green juice, and maybe a facial all before 9 a.m. From the sheer foundation that magically makes my complexion look even to the bronzer that gives me cheekbones I didn't know I had, these are the glowy formulas that have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
This iconic bronzing cream from Chanel may have gone viral a few years ago, but its appeal is truly timeless. It creates the most stunning sun-kissed glow, blending seamlessly to give the impression that you've just spent the day basking in the sun. It's a true staple that belongs in every makeup bag.
I love using this liquid cream blush as a base before layering on powder blush. The combination enhances the look, creating a flush that feels like your skin, only better. This liquid blush from Saie is a true standout, leaving the skin with a beautiful finish that's hard to beat.
This two-in-one bronzer is a total game changer, blending cream and powder formulas in one sleek compact. What makes it stand out is the unique application technique: Instead of the usual cream-then-powder order, you start with the powder side to warm up your complexion, then follow with the cream side to bring it to life and give your face a natural, bronzed glow.
I swear by this serum. I love using it morning and night, but it's especially a must before makeup. It's the only serum I've found that makes a visible difference in brightening my complexion and fading dark spots with consistent use. It's truly worth every penny.
I love layering this lip liner under gloss. It's the ideal pink-brown shade that sculpts and defines, creating the perfect base for any lip look. Just add a swipe of gloss over it, and you've got a foolproof combo that looks amazing every time.
I've tried nearly every popular concealer on the market, but I always find my way back to this one from Hourglass. The coverage is buildable and brightening, never cakey or heavy, and somehow it smooths everything out without settling into fine lines. It's the only formula that truly makes me look like I got eight hours of sleep–even when I didn't.
A little shimmer on the eyes is always a good idea, and while I love a classic powder shadow, this highlighter stick from Haus Labs makes application easy. A single swipe across the lids (or high points of the face) delivers a soft, ethereal glow that catches the light in all the right ways.
