I absolutely hate the feeling of having makeup on my face, especially in the summer. The combination of product plus sweat is enough to make me want to run my face under a cold sink. And while I don't exactly love wearing makeup, I do enjoy swiping on Rare Beauty's Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen, which feels more like applying the last step in my skincare routine.
Chances are, you've already spotted the viral best-seller on your For You page—a lightweight serum-foundation that leaves a natural, satin-like finish? I’m sold. But, thanks to the power of BeautyTok, getting your hands on the viral product is basically impossible, as it’s pretty much always sold out. Thankfully, and just in time for summer, the buzzy favorite has been restocked in all of its 24 shade options. It as if Selena Gomez herself came to the rescue, and knew the skin tint was exactly what we needed for our seasonal plans.
When temperatures reach 85 degrees and up, I turn to products that provide a hint of color without weighing heavily on my face. Rare Beauty's tinted moisturizer is not only featherweight, but also is hydrating and long-wearing. It even nicely contains broad-spectrum SPF 20 (though we suggest either layering an additional sunscreen underneath, or mixing one in with the moisturizer for extra protection). The moisturizer's customizable formula keeps my beauty routine low-lift, but still has a radiant finish that makes it seem like I tried—which is very appreciated on days when I’m running late.

If you're looking for a little more coverage, Positive Light also happens to be buildable, but you can always add on a few dabs of concealer to spot treat specific areas. Since the moisturizer has a history of selling out quickly, we suggest moving fast to snap up your shade of choice. Here's to the summer season and living our best lives while looking (and feeling) fabulous!
