Summer is officially here, which means lighter makeup routines are in full swing.

Even if you skip the full-coverage look, a good primer can make all the difference—keeping your base fresh, glowy, and locked in place no matter how hot it gets. These two picks are lightweight, non-cakey, and perfect for warm weather!

INNBEAUTY PROJECT – Face Glaze

True to its name, this product delivers a luminous, dewy finish that looks gorgeous on its own or under makeup. The texture is lightweight, and a little goes a long way, making it both effective and long-lasting in your collection.

e.l.f. Cosmetics – Power Grip Primer + 2% Niacinamide

An affordable option that blends skincare and makeup in one. The gripping formula helps foundation stay in place while the niacinamide works to support skin health. Easy to apply, reliable, and budget-friendly—it’s one of those staples worth repurchasing.

When the heat sets in, these primers keep your base looking radiant and smooth without weighing it down. Whether you want a glowing finish or a long-lasting grip, both are excellent options to elevate your summer makeup routine.
