6 Cool-Toned Makeup Products to Chill Out This Summer

Most beauty guides will tell you to match the summer heat with warm tones. You know—golden shades to resemble the sun's rays and red blush to achieve a tan without damaging your skin. It does sound pretty good. But if you have a cool undertone, you can still make those bluish hues work this season.

Below, discover our favorite cool-toned makeup, including blush, lipstick and more to still fit in with the season.

NYX Professional Makeup Non-Sticky Butter Gloss in Éclair: $6

One of the keys to making cool tones work in the summer is ensuring you pick bright ones, like this Éclair gloss from NYX. The nice thing about this brand's glosses is their high pigment level. You can wear it by itself or balance out another lipstick shade by adding this as a topper.

 

ColourPop Shadow Palette in In a Trance: $14

This item from ColourPop is like if we packaged the Barbie movie into an eyeshadow palette. After all, the film was the must-watch of summer 2023. With In a Trace, you can recreate that vibrant color scheme of Barbie pink and Ken blue. And, of course, glitter!

Glossier Generation G Sheer Matte Lipstick in Like: $20

Regardless of the season, we always prefer matte lipstick. One of our favorite matte lippies for summer is Glossier's Generation G.

Plus, Like is the perfect shade to offer your (pink) lips but better for a cool summer.

To jazz up your cool-toned look, we'd recommend adding some sparkle with the silvery Microcosm.
