These Are the 13 Best Summer Beauty Products From ASOS

Personally, I'm a powder-blush-phobe, as the heavy formula has left me a streaky mess one too many times to trust it. The alternative — a cream blush — is especially nice in the Summer, when temperatures rise and you want something lightweight. Not only does the Perricone MD No Blush Blush ($25) have a mineral SPF of 30, but it also adapts to your skin's individual pH, which means you'll get your very own bespoke shade when you smear this on. The result is a healthy, just-got-off-a-dope-ass-rollercoaster flush. Bonus: it looks like heaven over naked cheeks, so use this to perk up a no-foundation day.

I'm a sweaty mess 365 days a year, but things get unholy in the NYC July sun. Luckily, this ASOS Makeup Primer ($10) is a great base for foundation and other cover-up, ensuring that nothing slides around — except for my shimmying self on a wedding dance floor. Real talk: primer can sometimes clog your pores, so save this for special events like an aforementioned celebration of love or your Summer fling's backyard barbecue.

Even though the closest thing I'll get to being sporty this Summer is singing along to the Mel C verse in "Wannabe," I keep this Sport Waterproof Mascara ($30) on hand at all times. It's one of the longest-lasting ones I've ever tried, which makes it perfect for a day spent poolside. (Or those days you wish you were poolside but are instead sweating your lashes off in a sixth-floor-walkup.)

Sure, you could use this Yes To Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Mask Stick Breakout Prone ($19) on your face as intended to rid yourself of pesky pimples, but I love to use it on my body acne, too. This silicone- and paraben-free cleanser stick draws out little blemishes — wherever those twerps may live on your fine self — leaving you smooth, soft, and finally empowered to buy that backless dress you've been dreaming of.

Here's the deal with this one: the Lottie London Glitter Switch Liquid Lipstick in High Roller ($19) applies matte, but upon popping your lips together, flecks of sparkle magically appear. Every time you repeat the motion, you twinkle even brighter. That makes it perhaps one of the most fun beauty products I've ever tried. Capiche?

I grew up in the mountains of New Hampshire; I'm a simple girl with simple pleasures. That is, until I met the Oh K! Travel 8-Step Regime ($24). I recently took this portable pack of body wash, shampoo, cleansing oil, facial foam, toning serum, a gold jelly mask, lotion, and moisturizer on a camping trip, and I think the luxury factor of this item elevated it to glamping status. All of the good stuff comes in individual sachets, so you can use it when you want for all your Summer getaways. TSA restrictions don't stand a chance against these single-use formulas.

You've no doubt seen this Sand & Sky Australian Pink Clay Flash Perfection Exfoliating Treatment ($56) clogging up your Instagram feed, because this mask is the rare product that's both pretty and effective. It comes in the trendiest color of them all — millennial pink — and it not only exfoliates and draws out gunk from your face, but it also mattifies your complexion. If you're not into wearing the dewy trend (read: sweating up a storm), this will keep things shine-free.

I break up with my blow-dryer from May through September, because I think hell is just heat styling your hair on a 94-degree day. If you want to air dry, you're going to need a brush that gently detangles everything, so opt for this Wet Brush Shades of Love Brush ($14). I started using one after my fellow editor wouldn't shut up about it, and I've noticed that I'm less of a frizzasaurus rex because of it.

My tanning finesse can be describe as amateur at best, so I used to stay away from any at-home bronzing products. That all changed when I started swiping these Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pad Gradual Glow ($38) all over my face. These towelettes give me a just-back-from-Tulum-glow (despite the fact that I haven't taken a vacation since 2015 — eek) that I can achieve in my tiny, poorly-lit bathroom. All you do is rub it over your face, watch it dry down impressively fast, and then go live your best (tanned and streak-free) life.

I'm pretty fair, so this Vita Liberata Body Blur Instant HD Skin Finish Mocha ($45) gives me a really deep bronze. I think this light-reflecting moisturizer works best on darker skintones, as it leaves a natural tan that can't be beat. It only lasts for around three days, so you'll be smearing this stuff on so much, you might need a refill come August.

My neighbors are very thoughtful and considerate humans who like setting off fireworks from our building's roof at midnight on a Tuesday. But you'd never be able to tell those lovely young men keep me up all night after I put these Disney Minnie Mouse Eye Mask in Cucumber and Green Tea ($10) under my eyes. This reduces puffiness, whether it be caused by illegal firework activity or seasonal allergies, and brightens dark circles. Plus, ICYMI, these are shaped like Minnie Mouse.

'Tis the season of wearing less and going out more, so you might want to spend less on beauty products to fund your Summer benders. This MasqueBar Gold Peel Off Brightening Mask ($16) works just as well as GlamGlow's famous GravityMud, but at half the price. Plus, since this is a peel-off option, you won't stain your sink rinsing it off when you're done.
