Spring 2026 Beauty Favorites
As the weather warms up, a little extra glow and brightness can instantly wake up the face. Beauty is often overlooked in conversations about personal style, but the right makeup and skincare products can make a big difference in how polished and put together you feel. Even if you’re a makeup minimalist like me, a touch of tinted moisturizer and a swipe of blush can go a long way in creating an effortless, everyday glow.
I tend to gravitate toward clean beauty products with a skincare focus, and this spring I’ve discovered several formulas I’ve been loving. If you’re looking to refresh your routine, these are my Spring 2026 beauty favorites—a mix of glowy makeup and skin-focused beauty products that fit seamlessly into an easy, everyday routine (all linked, with options across a range of price points).
Complexion
Sisley Hydra Teint - This one is a bit of a splurge, but so worth it. It’s packed with skin care ingredients, has the perfect natural finish, and SPF.
Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint - For under $40, this is probably one of the best skin tints on the market. It’s packed with anti-aging ingredients, covers redness, and blends like a dream.
Merit Complexion Stick - If you’re a makeup minimalist who loves a complexion product that travels well, this is it! It’s light weight, has a beautiful natural finish and is easy to toss in any bag. Plus, it doubles as concealed.
Blush
Armani Cheek Tint in Bold Pink (Shade 53) - This one is currently on my wish list! Armani never does my wrong when it comes to beauty.
Rare Beauty Liquid Blush (in Encourage) - This is the perfect neutral/cool pink for everyday. But, I will say… a little bit goes a long way!
Merit Flush Balm (in Bespoke and Stokholm) - My go-to everyday blush. I love how it’s small enough to pop in my bag and doubles as lip color.
Bronzer/highlight
Gucci Bronzer - The perfect bronzer for the girl who doesn’t want to look like she’s wearing bronzer. The compact is gorgeous, and it’s refillable.
Merit Bronzing Stick- If you prefer a dewey skin look, this bronzing balm is it! It blends beautifully and gives an instant glow.
Physician’s Formula Butter Bronzer - Hand’s down the best budget bronzer on the market, and it smells amazing, too!
Jones Road Shimmer Face Oil - My go-to for a subtle highlight and a little extra glow. I almost always do this as my last step!
lips
Dior Lip Oil- This one was originally gifted to me, but I’m officially addicted. The pigment is minimal, so it can be worn on its own or with lipstick.
Le Mer The Lip Treatment (in Rose) - This one was a gift from my mom, and it is SO good.
Jones Road The Classic Lip (any shade) - These go out of stock quickly — for good reason! They are truly the only lipsticks that feel hydrating, but not sticky. I have my eye on Nude Pink for Spring, once it’s back in stock :).
eyes
Jones Road Eyeshadow Sticks (Any Shade) - I purchased cream, taupe (both great for spring) and smokey brown (perfect for lining). These are made with clean ingredients and have truly exceeded my expectations.
Jones Road Mascara - This mascara is truly worth the hype. It adds both length and volume — and it doesn’t smudge! My only qualm is that is doesn’t come in travel size.
Ilia Mascara - Another clean favorite, the Ilia mascara adds length like I’ve never seen.
Nails
Manucurist Paris Green Polish in Poppy (bright coral red) and Blossom (clean light pink) - For the girl who loves at at-home mani, these polishes are non-toxic, glide on beautifully, and stay on for about a week without chipping. I linked the full system (which helps with staying power).
Kur by Londontown Nail Concealer - For the moments you need a quick fix, this nail concealer is a great go-to. With just 1-2 coats, it covers up redness and gives the perfect “je ne sais quois”, effortless look.
Dazzle Dry MEND Nail & Cuticle Oil- If you recently took off your polish only to find dry, brittle nails underneath, this one’s for you! This oil instantly removes the visible dehydration from your nails and restores them back to health with 2-3 weeks of consistent use.
Hope you love these as much as I do! Xoxo
