Shine-quelling powder foundations and warm weather go hand in hand, but heavy textures and summery temperatures do not a flawless complexion make. Becca Cosmetics' Perfect Skin Mineral Powder Foundation ($40) evens out the skin without a caked-on feel. It's due in part to its mineral base, which, instead of settling into nooks and crannies, provides a lightweight veil of coverage with a semimatte finish. Antioxidants even help protect skin from environmental aggressors. Just add a pop of blush, a swipe of mascara, and a punchy gloss, and your daily summertime beauty routine is in the bag.

Have you ever had a lip gloss that appears pigmented in the tube but disappears on the lips? That problem will be a thing of the past with Becca's Ultimate Colour Gloss ($24).

With hydrating vitamin E, it feels more like ChapStick than makeup — which is great for bold-lip newbies. Could this be the perfect marriage of stain and gloss? Signs point to yes.
