9 Lightweight Make-Up Products For Hot Weather
All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.
THE GLOW BALM
Nu Glow In Balm, £27 | YSL
This skincare/make-up hybrid balm from YSL’s ‘Nu’ range adds instant and noticeable glow. The thin liquid texture sits well under make-up if you want to use it as a radiant primer, or alternatively, apply it to the tops of your cheeks for a glossy finish. Meanwhile, added shea butter delivers 24 hours of hydration, yet it still allows skin to breathe.

THE TINTED MOISTURISER
Light Revealer, £37 | Laura Mercier
For a luminous lift, it’s hard to beat this radiant tinted moisturiser. The mineral pigment formula is designed to be sheer, but subtle luminescent pearls give the skin a flattering glow and a lightweight veil of coverage. A blend of French algae, vitamin C and E, this plant-based hydrating blend not only gives the skin a much-needed moisture boost, but it also fortifies the skin barrier to protect it against pollutants and external aggresors.

THE FOUNDATION
Les Beiges Eau De Teint Water-Fresh Tint, £50 | Chanel
This skin tint is a bestseller for a reason. Albeit more of an investment, it’s expertly formulated with innovative micro-fluidic technology, meaning 75% of the product is made up of a hydrating water base. Micro-droplets of pigment are then blended into the formula, so when it’s buffed onto the skin, each one delivers a light, fresh dose of radiant coverage.

THE LASH & BROW PRODUCT
Beauty Lash & Brow Tint, £18 | 19/99
With three shades to choose from, this lash and brow gel subtly tints hairs without looking OTT. The thin-bristle brush coats lashes and brows with a light layer of product, which can then be built up as you go. Clean and vegan, the formula is also designed to stay put all day. A hot weather hero.

THE LIQUID EYESHADOW
Ombre Eclat Liquide Eyeshadow, £38 | Sisley
Balmy summer nights and holidays call for a subtle shimmer or sheen on the eyelids. To make sure it doesn’t feel too heavy, try one Sisley’s new liquid eyeshadows. Using the product’s precision tip, you can apply it directly onto the lids, blending it out with your finger or a brush while it’s still wet. Once it sets, however, it won’t crease or flake all day.

THE POWDER BRONZER
Bronze Goddess Bronzing Powder, £39 | Estée Lauder
When it comes wearing make-up in the heat, less is always more – which is where this finely milled bronzer comes in. Skin will never look cakey, or the make-up feel too heavy. Instead, the oil-free formula tames shine and lightly sculpts the contours of the face.

LIQUID BRONZER
Bronze GlowLighter, £38 | Rodial
If a liquid bronzer is more your style, this product gets our vote. Apply it to the hollows of your cheeks, the bridge of your nose and under the jawbone to chisel and sculpt, then blend it out with a brush to contour, or a fluffy brush for a bronzy glow. Alternatively, mix it to your moisturiser for an all-over bronze-y tint.

THE LIP & CHEEK TINT
Lip & Cheek Balm, £16 | Typology
This lightweight tint is a great multi-tasker. Apply it to the cheeks, lips or even eyelids to add a soft flush of colour – you’ll soon see how good the pay-off actually is. With a skin-loving blend of more than 97% naturally derived ingredients, it also works to improve the condition of your skin over time, too.

THE TINTED LIP BALM
HydraLip, £15 | Sculpted By Aimee
Lipsticks and liquid matte colours can be quite heavy in the summer, so if you’re after something subtler, give these lip balms a go. Offering a glossy glow and a good dose of moisture, they’re also available in six flattering shades. The hyaluronic acid-infused formula delivers on hydration, while jojoba seed oil keeps lips feeling nourished for longer. It even protects them from UVA & UVB rays.
