We all want to achieve that effortless “no makeup” redhead makeup look we see on celebs, especially in the summertime. It’s hot and you don’t want to be weighed down by heavy makeup but you still want to look good. Here are the best products for perfecting that look this summer:
1. Tinted moisturizer with SPF
The best way to even out your skin tone, cover blemishes and get an overall glowy appearance is with a tinted moisturizer. It will give you some color and coverage without feeling cakey, and the added SPF will help protect your skin from the sun.

2. Cream Cheek Tint
Adding some color to the face will help your face look youthful and bright. Cream blush or cheek tint is easy to blend and will look more like a natural flush than makeup. Bonus: You can often use your cheek tint as a lip tint or vice versa.
