I may be biased as a born-and-bred California girl, but in my opinion, the best beauty look is a fresh-off-the-beach face. You know, that healthy, sun-kissed glow that looks effortless all year round. Well, from one Best Coaster to you, here's a little secret: you don't have to live in the Golden State to achieve a California glow. What you do need are the right products, and luckily for beauty girls everywhere, NYX Cosmetics came through just in time for Summer. From barely-there blush to full-body bronzer, the brand's new product launches are all about getting your glow on from anywhere. Forget the plane ticket and stock up on these products for a flawless radiance that's definitely California-girl-approved.

Bare With Me Tinted Skin Veil
The Cali girl glow is all about tapping into that "your skin but better" effect — i.e. looking like you're wearing no makeup while secretly wearing tinted moisturizer. Skip heavy foundation in favor of the weightless Bare With Me Tinted Skin Veil ($13). The vegan formula contains cucumber and aloe extract, offering light breathable coverage and eight-hour hydration to help you achieve that soft, satiny radiance.

Bare With Me Hydrating Cheek Tint
With all that sun, a soft flush of color on the cheeks is only natural. Mimic the effects of a day at the beach by applying a sheer wash of the Bare With Me Hydrating Cheek Tint ($10) to the apples of your cheeks. The aloe and cucumber extract-infused formula will keep your skin hydrated, while the barely-there shade will provide a diffused, natural-looking glow.
