[By Candice B.]

Whether you’re heading to the Bahamas for a beach vacay or lounging by your local pool this summer, these 5 beauty essentials are total must-haves to keep you looking flawless in every selfie uploaded on IG worthy of a thousand LIKES!

Essence Pure Nude Makeup

The minimal, natural foundation look is full in force past seasons and will continue well into summer 2018. This is a brilliant lightweight foundation that gives you that desirable, dewy “no-makeup feel”. The last thing you want on a sultry midsummer afternoon is to suffocate your skin underneath a thick layer of foundation. It has a thin lightly moisturizing formula that applies very, very easily onto skin and absorbs well without accentuating dryness or laying on top of skin unnaturally. However, it doesn’t cover up imperfections 100% so a good concealer might come in handy for stubborn blemishes.
