Consider this a CliffsNotes, one-stop shop of what’s really trending and worth adding to your cart at this very moment.
This week, I’m sharing all my favorite lightweight makeup picks. Do you have a product that we missed? We’d love to know. Send us a DM.
This is my latest makeup obsession. Since I don’t love heavy makeup, I normally stay away from a full face of foundation, but this one has made me change my mind. It’s goes on so smoothly, is ultra-lightweight, and leaves a really nice glow.
If you’re looking to get that natural-looking flush on your cheeks, try this blush balm. It delivers sheer color that is totally buildable.
Love eye shadow but hate how heavy it can feel? Try a liquid formula. This one glides on smoothly and contains good-for-the-skin ingredients like jojoba oil and orange flower water.
Ilia’s tinted serum is a favorite with so many readers and editors. The light-coverage product contains hyaluronic acid, plant-based squalane, niacinamide, and SPF 40 to nourish and protect the skin.
I use a bronzer regularly to get that healthy-looking glow (especially when I haven’t been to the beach in months). This powder one from Charlotte Tilbury goes on smoothly and doesn’t feel cakey. It also doesn’t leave you with an unnatural orange tint.
For a medium-coverage blush option, try this weightless liquid blush from Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty line. It lasts all day and is available in matte or dewy finishes.
This concealer covers just about any “problem”: redness, blemishes, and dark circles. It’s formulated with adaptable mineral pigments for a brightening effect and elastic micro waxes that give it a flexible finish.
Some lipsticks can feel heavy or caked on, especially if you’re putting on a bunch of layers for super saturated color. But not Merit’s new Signature Lip lipsticks. They’re buildable, which is great because I can tailor the color intensity to my specific makeup look that day. And they’re hydrating so my lips never feel dry while wearing the product or after taking it off.
Prep your skin with this weightless liquid primer. It reduces the look of pores, fine lines, and blemishes, while also protecting the skin from pollutants.
Set your makeup without adding more weight to it with this best-selling powder that’s sheer and seamless.
A lot of mascaras seem to weigh my already-sparse and thin lashes down. I love Lash Star’s mascara because it defines and volumizes my lashes but still manages to feel weightless.
For serious under-eye circles, try this brightening concealer pen. It’s a color-correcting formula that will make your face look more awake. The brush applicator makes it easy to blend precisely, too.
Both a lip treatment and gloss, this product plumps and hydrates lips and leaves sheer color.
Talk about long-lasting—this powder will reduce the appearance of pores and shine for up to 16 hours. It’s a mattifying powder that leaves a natural finish and can be layered depending on how much coverage you want.
Get that radiant, glowy look with Saie’s lightweight dewy highlighter. The gel-based formula is made of 75% water and contains other ingredients like plant-based glycerin, vitamin C, and rose hip seed oil which all work to increase moisture and brighten the skin.
There’s something about a lip stain that looks so irresistible. This super-airy formula is infused with moisturizing ingredients like vitamin E, cotton seed oil, green tea oil, and mango oil.
A full coverage concealer that’s also hydrating? Yes, it’s possible. E.l.f.’s concealer is crease-proof, lightweight, and leaves a satin finish.
For shimmery lids, swip this liquid eyeliner on. The water-based product glides on easily, is long-lasting and smudge-proof, and offers sheer-to-medium coverage.
I love a multitasking product. And when that multitasking product is also lightweight, I love it even more. Tower28’s tinted balm works perfectly on both your lips and cheeks and it also nourishes the skin.
You know a gel formula is going to feel ultra lightweight and refreshing, and this gel foundation doesn’t disappoint. Made of 60% water, it delivers medium-to-full coverage and also can calm and soothe sensitive skin thanks to aloe, chamomile, and arnica.
