Lately, I've found myself reaching for this exact makeup look every time I'm heading to the beach. There's something about the fresh, radiant finish that perfectly captures everything I love about summer beauty. My skin still looks like skin—just healthier, glowier, and beautifully sun-kissed.
What makes this routine even more special is knowing that many of the products are from clean beauty brands I genuinely love. Both OGEE and Eye of Horus Beauty have become staples in my makeup bag, not only because of their beautiful formulas but because they prove that clean beauty can deliver incredible performance, luminous skin, and effortless elegance.
This is the kind of makeup that doesn't compete with summer—it complements it. Lightweight, glowing, fresh, and made to let your natural beauty shine through. Check it out:
Sun Protection Always Comes First
No summer beauty routine begins without sunscreen. Healthy, protected skin is the foundation of every great makeup look, especially during long days outdoors. Once my SPF has settled, I keep the complexion light with a breathable base that lets natural skin shine through.
A Natural, Skin-Like Base
For foundation, I reached for OGEE, one of my favorite clean luxury beauty brands for creating a radiant, second-skin finish. Rather than masking the skin, it evens everything out while keeping the complexion luminous—exactly what I look for during the warmer months.
The Warmth of Summer
Whenever I want that effortless holiday glow, I instinctively reach for Eye of Horus Beauty. I've featured the brand on Theriz Journal several times over the years because I genuinely love its approach to luminous, wearable beauty.
For this look, I used the eyeshadow palette alongside the Duo Complexion palette to softly bronze the skin and add a natural flush of color. The result is subtle, flattering, and incredibly easy to wear—perfect for beach days and warm summer evenings alike.
The Mascara I Always Pack
No makeup bag feels complete without mascara, right? For this look, I reached for MAC Cosmetics, adding definition without overwhelming the softness of the rest of the makeup.
A Touch of Light
To finish the complexion, I added a soft veil of radiance with my Valentino Beauty highlighter. Rather than an intense shimmer, it catches the sunlight beautifully, giving the skin that fresh, healthy glow we all chase during summer.
A Lipstick I'll Never Forget
Some beauty products become part of your story, and for me, that lipstick is Please Me by MAC Cosmetics. I've been wearing it since 2009, and it has accompanied me through countless memories, travels, and everyday moments. Sadly, it has since been discontinued, and I'm carefully using the very last of my tube.
To finish the look, I layered Prada Beauty Banana Yellow Lip Balm on top for extra hydration and a beautiful glossy finish that catches the light without overpowering the lipstick underneath. Sometimes, the best beauty combinations come from mixing old favorites with exciting new discoveries.
