Summer Makeup Bag Must Haves

Does your summer makeup bag contain everything you need to beat the heat and look fresh all day long? We asked Stephanie Koutikas, Mehron's Creative Director, to share her summer survival essentials. "As a busy working mom of three, who lives on the beach, I need products that last and keep me looking fabulous - whether I'm in the sun or on the go," says Koutikas. "Here are my six go-to products that I just can't live without in the warm weather!"

Enhance your natural glow or mimic the look of a day in the sun with Aura Bronzing Gel. This lightweight bronzer is formulated to complement all skin tones. Easy to blend, Aura doesn't streak or look orange. It provides an even, natural-looking sun-kissed skin look, and is ideal for all-over coverage. Aura's skin soothing blend of hydrating extracts of lemongrass, ginseng, chamomile, comfrey, cucumber, aloe vera, and Japanese green tea, with a generous helping of golden bronze shimmer, leaves skin beautifully radiant. Oil-Free, Paraben-Free, and Vegan.

Prep for perfect makeup with Skin Prep Pro. This fragrance free liquid acts as a moisture barrier between your skin and makeup, providing for a longer-lasting, fresh look. Even in the heat, skin feels and continues to look fresh.

Setting spray is a must in the summer heat. Keep makeup from melting with Barrier Spray. Mist this clear, liquid setting spray over the entire face to seal your makeup and watch the magic!

Add a hint of color to your cheeks with Just Peachy CHEEK Powder. Sweep on this pigmented matte pressed powder for a natural flush look.

Neutral eyes are a summer staple. Our E.Y.E Powder & CHEEK Powder 8-Color Palette is perfect for creating the no-makeup look or a soft, smoky eye to complement your warm glow. These velvety smooth pressed powders provide a matte finish that never cakes or creases.

A quick swipe of Glosstone PRO in Coral Reef will give you colorful, luscious lips. Enriched with antioxidants derived from aloe vera and vitamin E, Glosstone PRO moisturizes lips, leaving them gloss, not greasy.
