Summer makeup is all about two things for me: It should make me look fresh, sun-kissed, and glowy, and it should stay put through sweat and humidity. Milk Makeups Hydro Grip gel skin tint is my go-to most days, but especially in the summer. It’s a long-wearing formula that looks like your skin but better, and the coverage is buildable. I have to wear it a pretty long time for it to crease in my smile lines, but even then it’s only a little, and I can tap it out with my fingertips to fix. It’s just a solid, reliable product I reach for again and again.
The only downside is the packaging — it dribbles a continuous stream of skin tint, so you have to cap it immediately to prevent leaks. The fact that I continue to use it so often despite the annoying user experience should tell you everything you need to know about how good it is.
