The Summer Beauty Shop

The supplements boom does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon—with a bevy of expert-endorsed ingredients known to improve how you look, feel, and perform. Live It Up’s powder pairs beetroot and adaptogens to boost energy levels and relieve stress; a similar proposition as Atlas’s beloved mushroom coffee that makes for a mean latte. If it’s hydration you’re after, look no further than Be Love’s electrolyte drink, available in an array of flavors to make getting all your nutrients a yummy affair.

Our summer 2025 beauty routines are marked by a few new arrivals. Merit’s The Uniform is a top contender for sunscreen of the season—delivering a sheer, natural tint with SPF 45 protection. Pair it with a spritz of Rhode’s glow-inducing face mist and a swipe of Dior’s glossy lip butter before heading out the door.

Long-wear, with soft-matte, blurred finishes, this is certainly a lip stain summer. Line the lips with Huda Beauty’s lip contour or apply Sacheu’s peel-off stain, then dab a final touch of the classic Benetint for just-bitten color that lasts all day.

Utilizing physical zinc oxide and titanium dioxide blockers to protect skin, mineral sunscreens are generally thought of as the most effective way to shield against UV rays. Their only drawback? The white cast they leave behind. The latest crop of formulations—by Ranavat, Good Weather Skin, and Lightsaver—harness new technologies to apply undetectably, offering exceptional coverage for all skin tones.

With the best LED face mask, one can effectively treat an array of skin conditions such as wrinkles, acne, fine lines, dark spots, and more. These new-gen devices are some of the most convenient, hands-free treatments on the market; experts say that a light therapy treatment via a comfortable silicone mask or targeted spot treatment works well in tandem with your ongoing skin care routine.

Unlike your traditional mascara, the Surratt Lash Tint uses a Japanese-made metal wand that looks like a screw to coat and define lashes rather than volumize and lengthen. The result? A natural, lash-lift effect perfect for daily wear.

When we think about what’s driving cosmetics innovation, the most impressive of all traces back to Korea. K-beauty trends have been on our watch list for years as we strive to keep up with the industry’s buzziest ingredients, formulas, and treatments. From Biodance’s collagen mask to Medicube’s PDRN serum and Fwee’s blurring blush, our favorite Korean skin care and makeup products have earned permanent spots in our routines.

We need not wax on about the importance of sunscreen, but in choosing the one for you, there are many to consider. You could opt for Chanel’s, a Vogue editor-favorite that smells sublime and is non-irritating. Or, you could protect skin with EltaMD’s UV Clear, which has more dermatologist endorsements than we can count. Alternatively, you could look to the East for SPF inspiration thanks to a host of Korean sunscreens now available stateside.

A spray-on sunscreen makes reapplying easy, peasy. Sun Bum’s mist—which delivers a sheer, dry-touch application with natural compression, not aerosol—feels weightless on skin and adds additional protection with vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant to neutralize free-radical damage.

This season, trade out your rich ouds for vibrant florals and fruits. For cologne, this could be Terre d Hermès Eau Givrée—a refreshing citrusy-yet-woody aroma. Perfume lovers, on the other hand, will appreciate Chanel’s Chance Eau Fraîche—an invigorating floral balanced by jasmine and grapefruit.

If 2024 was all about dewiness, 2025 is about a natural, skin-like glow—made evident by the leading new beauty launches. Ilia’s complexion stick delivers a blurred finish that rivals your favorite IG filter, while Saie’s concealer makes blemishes and dark circles vanish in seconds. Set your look in place with a dusting of Hourglass powder, approved by actress and model Laura Harrier.

Picture this: you’re headed out to a summertime soirée with not only a head-turning look, but a lit-from-within glow—all thanks to the best shimmering body oil. While body lotions and oils can work wonders to hydrate skin, they don’t all provide a long-lasting radiance after a few hours’ wear.

Summertime means embracing a no-fuss approach to complexion. So when you’re not rooting your glam in a chiseled contour or intricate eye look, you’ll want to put your best pout forward. As for your lip of choice, opt for a Vogue editor-favorite red lipstick or a nourishing lip oil.

In an effort to prioritize UV protection from harmful sun rays this summer, stocking up on sunscreen-makeup duos might serve you well. Fortunately these days, there’s SPF included in nearly every makeup product you desire. From tinted moisturizers to lip balms and blushes, you’ll find something for everyone.
