As someone who lives and breathes all things beauty (and spends far too much time swatching, testing, and getting totally sucked into the latest product drops), my standards are high. With fresh formulas and must-have products constantly hitting the shelves, only the truly standout ones earn a permanent spot in my routine. So when a product makes the cut, you know it’s really good.
Lately, I’ve been reaching for the same go-to products that give me an effortlessly put-together vibe with minimal time and maximum glow. From skin-perfecting essentials for no-makeup makeup looks to the beauty must-haves that live in my bag (and get reapplied in Ubers, bathrooms, and everywhere in between), here are the 15 products I swear by to look fresh, awake, and just the right amount of dewy.
This fan-favorite bronzing cream from Chanel went viral a few years ago, and the hype isn't slowing down anytime soon. It delivers that perfect sun-kissed glow and effortless warmth that’ll have you looking like you just came back from a beach vacation. It’s a timeless staple that deserves a spot in your makeup bag.
I swear by this serum. It gives your skin a gorgeous base, prepping your face for flawless makeup.
I love applying this right after primer, focusing on my undereyes and the high points of my face. It instantly brightens and awakens my complexion, giving my skin a lit-from-within glow.
I’m picky when it comes to mascara, but trust me, this one will make people wonder if you’re rocking falsies.
Blush, but make it luminous. This liquid cream blush blends effortlessly for a natural, dewy flush that looks like your skin, but better.

Get ready to glow like never before. This glow stick delivers a radiant, dewy finish that makes your skin look beautifully luminous.
