Must-Have Foundation
Flesh Firm Flesh Thickstick Foundation, $18 at Ulta Beauty
Everything in the new Flesh line is genius and that’s likely because it’s the brainchild of beauty guru Linda Wells, the founding editor-in-chief of Allure magazine. And this foundation is the first thing you have to try. The creamy, medium-coverage stick comes in 40 different shades, goes on easily and lasts for hours. (It’s also zero-mess, so it’s perfect for summer travels!)

Glow Getter
BECCA x Chrissy Teigen Glow Body Oil, $42 at BECCA
Chrissy Teigen knows her way around a kitchen, a Twitter battle and as it turns out, the beauty aisle, too. Her latest collab: this sexy, shimmery oil that leaves limbs soft, glowing and smelling subtly like a tropical vacation.

Sexy Scent
H2O+ Beauty Teak Rose On the Move Rollerball Fragrance, $18 at H2O+ Beauty
Heavy, overpowering fragrances seem as out of place this season as thick, wool sweaters. That’s why this scent is just the thing for your summer festivals, dates and long, sweltering days (in other words, whenever you don’t want to be radiating an old-fashioned, gardeny vibe). The chubby, roll-on applicator holds a blend of bergamot, orange blossom, rose and amber that’s sultry yet subtle.

At-Home Highlights
Madison Reed Light Works Balayage Highlighting Kit, $44.95 at Madison Reed
Home highlighting kits have always kind of intimidated us. But this one couldn’t be more user-friendly — or cooler! The ammonia-free, two-step system recreates the balayage technique, a freehanded process that produces far more natural results (so no more fears of too-perfect stripes). And the included toner means you’ll have much more control over the final shade and can get rid of unwanted brassy or orange tones.
