08 Jul Review: Best Summer Makeup & Beauty Products With Lancôme and Tarte 2015 Collections
No one wants makeup melting off in the blazing summer heat. With Lancôme’s picks and tips from celebrity makeup artist Sandy Linter, your makeup will remain intact all summer long!
With Lancôme Effacernes, $31, eliminate tell-tale signs of stress and fatigue with this waterproof under eye concealer. The natural coverage allows you to completely even skin tone, cover dark circles and minimize fine lines around your eyes with a soft, matte finish.
Expert Tip: “Obviously concealer works wonders for dark circles and other skin imperfections,” explains Linter. “It actually works great for makeup imperfections, too! Dab a small amount of concealer on a brush to sharpen liquid liner or help define brows.”
If eyeshadow is a staple in your summer beauty routine, apply a primer first. Aquatique Waterproof Eyecolor Base, $26, keeps shadow from creasing throughout a hot summer day. The silky-smooth, waterproof formula holds pigment in place while simultaneously delivering nude, barely-there color that will even our your eyelids.
Expert Tip: “Primer may seem like a tedious step, but it’s worth it. The skin on your lids can get extremely oily, especially in warm, humid weather. Make sure your hands are freshly washed before applying with your fingertips.”
Formulated to boldly line eyes and stay put, Le Stylo Waterproof Liner, $27, has a unique twist tip that never needs sharpening. Keep it in your beach bag for quick touchups—the easy-glide, creamy texture will create any look you desire.
Expert Tip: “Brightly colored liner is a great way to add color to your summer look,” explains Linter. “Teals, blues, and purples can really make eyes pop! Pair with a neutral lip.”
Keep your lashes defined and lengthened while taking a quick dip. With this show-stopping Hypnôse Star 24H Mascara, $24.50, lashes will have weightless volume, luscious length with 24 hour wear. The dual-sided brush perfectly coats lashes while maximizing the formula’s performance.
Expert Tip: “For full lash coverage, make sure you’re bringing the brush to the root of the lashes. Give the brush a little wiggle for extra lash separation. Allow the formula to dry and feel free to apply a second coat if you’re going for a more dramatic look,” says Linter.
If you’re going to show skin, make sure it’s soft, supple and smooth. Nutrix Royal Body, $33, rescues dehydrated skin and locks in moisture, saving you from long, drying days spent in and by the pool. Feelings of tightness immediately disappear and skin is left nourished for up to 24 hours.
Expert Tip: “Hot sun and chlorine can dry out skin. Right after you shower, apply a lotion or cream to skin to really sink in and hydrate,” says Linter.
Cover up this Summer with new Tarteguard 30 Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30, and achieve that getaway glow with our Brazilliance skin rejuvenating maracuja self tanner and Amazonian clay matte waterproof bronzer. Going swimming? Be sure to pack Lights, Camera, Splashes! Waterproof Mascara – providing the same lengthening, curling, volumizing & conditioning benefits you love in tarte’s best-selling original mascara, but in a splash-proof version!
Practice safe summer all year round with tarte’s first multi-tasking, antioxidant-infused daily sunscreen, tarteguard, $32. The lightweight, non-sticky liquid lotion contains all mineral, non-chemical sunscreen ingredients to help protect against the sun’s damaging UVA/UVB rays that can cause dryness, redness, dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles, among other skincare beauty boundaries. The fresh, ocean’s lily scent allows for luxurious, spa-like daily applications while the high-performance liquid emulsion seamlessly melts into skin, leaving it supremely soft and silky, without ever leaving a white cast.
Ingredients include:
- Red Algae: natural moisturizer and emollient that revitalizes and renews for smoother, younger-looking skin

A sister to tarte’s iconic Park Ave Princess Waterproof Bronzer, this Amazonian Clay Matte Waterproof Bronzer, $30, delivers just the right amount of a sun-burnished glow and doubles as an easy contouring powder. Infused with natural, skin-softening mineral pigments this waterproof bronzer helps improve skin’s texture, tone and clarity all day long.
Ingredients include:
- Amazonian clay: nature’s most perfect ingredient acts as a total skin balancer by reducing dryness and flakiness, improving clarity and texture, and removing surface oil for a true Brazillian bronze bombshell finish
- Mineral Pigments: colors derived from natural minerals have been known to soothe and soften the skin
Lights, Camera, Splashes Waterproof Mascara, $24, has all of the properties of the best-selling Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara in a waterproof formula. It’s great for a day at the beach or for those of us who don’t want to look overdone at the gym, but also want a little bit of makeup: this mascara is completely sweat-proof so it will last through the toughest workouts. Our patented dual-brush technology separates and evenly coats lashes.
Ingredients include:
Beeswax: as an alternative to synthetic waxes, natural beeswax is used as a waterproofing agent, a protective barrier between the skin and the environment and it has also been known to naturally stimulate collagen production which plumps the skin and decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Mineral pigments: colors derived from natural minerals
Achieve a healthy, sunless glow while drenching your skin in moisture with best-selling Brazilliance Skin Rejuvenating Maracuja Self Tanner, $39. This revolutionary bronze hybrid-gel formula delivers skin-brightening vitamin C and replenishes essential fatty acids as it imparts a natural-looking, long-lasting sunless tan that never looks fake or orange.
