Clean beauty has been a buzzy phrase for quite a while now, and it’s only getting more popular. I’m all for better ingredients, but as a discerning editor, I’ve been skeptical about the formulas. Are they really as effective as their less-clean counterparts? My instincts told me no, but Sephora’s highly curated Clean at Sephora section proved me wrong pretty quickly. It has every must-have product imaginable—from multitasking balms to beachy bronzers to shiny glosses. These vibrant, efficacious formulas last all day and withstand the summer heat. Keep scrolling to shop these highly coveted clean makeup products.
Tower 28 Beauty
Shine On Lip Jelly
I have to buy all 13 shades of Tower 28’s beloved lip jelly because I can’t pick just one. It’s one of my favorite products. It hydrates my lips with ingredients such as raspberry and rose hip oil, and it gives my lips the perfect glossy finish.
Merit
Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer
Introducing the gold standard of bronzers. This creamy, sheer formula adds a natural warmth and depth to your no-makeup makeup look. Plus, the ultra-luxe packaging doesn’t hurt.
Westman Atelier
Baby Cheeks Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick
I simply adore everything about this blush, from its endearing name to the range of pretty shades. It’s so versatile, too: you can use it on your eyes, cheeks, and lips. There’s a reason it has so many five-star reviews.
Saie
Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Multipurpose Illuminator
If I hear the words “dewy” and “glowy” to describe a product, you bet I want in. This water-based formula gives the ultimate fresh, lit-from-within radiance that makes my makeup look so much better.
MILK MAKEUP
Matte Cream Bronzer Stick
Who doesn’t love Milk Makeup? The warm, sun-kissed glow this delivers is like nothing I’ve ever seen. The creamy formula blends in so naturally for an “I just came back from the beach” finish.
PS: You can also use it as an eye shadow, a lip color, or even a body bronzer.
Ami Colé
Hydrating Lip Treatment Oil
My co-workers are always raving about Ami Colé, so I’ve been dying to try one of their most-loved products: the hydrating lip oil. It’s powered by hydrating baobab, camellia, and passionfruit oils for soft, moisturized lips.
Ciele
Sculpt & Protect SPF 30+ Bronzing Contour Stick
Sculpt and bronze your face to perfection with this super-blendable stick by Ciele, an SPF-infused makeup brand created by makeup artist Nikki DeRoest. It has a unique narrow shape for the most precise application. And of course it has SPF 30—bless.
LAWLESS
Pinch My Cheeks Baby Smooth Cream Blush
Lawless’s brand-new blush is one to have on your radar. The formula is the best of both worlds—you get the seamless application of a cream with the finish of a satin powder. It’s easily buildable, too, so it’s perfect whether you’re looking for a no-makeup makeup look or an intense color payoff.
Caliray
Sundrip Skin-Boosting Serum Bronzer
Caliray is the epitome of effortless summer beauty, and this new launch is a must-have if you want to emulate that look. It’s a lightweight bronzing serum that will mix flawlessly with a tinted sunscreen (can’t forget your SPF!) for a bronzy, glowy base. It’s basically golden hour in a bottle.
HAUS LABS
Color Fuse Glassy Blush Balm
Haus Labs is known for its best-in-class formulas and vibrant, eye-catching hues. And this new launch is the perfect example of that—I couldn’t ignore this electric fuschia hue if I tried. I know this cushiony balm will be a must in my summer makeup bag for an instant healthy glow and plump, dimensional cheeks.
Kosas
Baked Dimensional + Brightening Blush
NGL, this packaging has me drooling. This gorgeous marbled blush has two shades baked together for the most natural flush. It combines the hydrated, skin-like finish of a cream with the easy application and color payoff of a powder. I’m officially buying it in every shade.
Ilia
Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon
Have you ever dreamt of having a product that combines the creaminess of lipstick with the precision of lip liner? Well, here it is. This just-launched lip crayon glides on so smoothly and delivers rich, long-lasting color with a soft, matte finish. It’s formulated with a blend of potent skincare ingredients, so it hydrates and plumps your pout with every swipe.
