As temps rise, it’s time to simplify your summer makeup routine and let your natural radiance shine. At ROOTS, we believe in clean, breathable beauty that works with the season—not against it. Here's how to transition your look for a fresh, glowy summer vibe without piling on the products.
Lighten Up the BaseHeavy foundation + high heat = makeup meltdown. Trade your full-coverage formulas for lighter options like tinted moisturizers, tinted sunscreen and moisturizing lightweight complexion formulas. These breathable bases even out the complexion while letting your skin breathe. Pro tip: Not ready to ditch your go-to foundation? Mix a drop of it with your favorite moisturizer or SPF serum to create a custom skin tint with a dewy finish. And don’t forget—as your skin catches a bit more sun, you may need to adjust your base shade slightly. Go one shade deeper or sweep bronzer on the cheeks, forehead, and nose to keep your look cohesive and sun-kissed. |

Summer-ize Your Color PaletteTime to tuck away those pastel pinks and icy mauves—summer makeup is all about brighter, warmer tones. Now’s the perfect time to transition both your foundation shade and your seasonal color palette to match summer's warmth and glow. “Summer-ize your colors—think coral lips, bronzy lids, and golden highlights. Those warm, vibrant hues instantly give you a vacation glow, even if you’re just in your backyard.” Even a single shift—like trading your everyday matte lip for a juicy peach gloss—can refresh your whole look. Try BRUSH ON BLOCK® Protective Mineral Lip Oil SPF 32—a multitasking lip oil that hydrates, adds shine, and protects against sun, blue light, and moisture loss. |

Keep the Glow, Skip the Heavy PowderMatte finishes can dull your summer glow. Instead of traditional setting powders and oil blotting sheets, reach for SPF powders and hydrating setting sprays that lock in your look and protect your skin. Let your summer skin shine (literally). Lightweight, breathable finishing products help maintain that dewy radiance while keeping your makeup in place—without drying or caking. ✨ Try a misting makeup rehydrator midday to refresh your glow and calm shine, or dust on an SPF-infused powder to set and protect in one clean step. These swaps melt seamlessly into the skin and move with heat and humidity instead of fighting it—keeping your glow fresh, not flat. |
