Here at SI Swimsuit, we love a “less is more” approach to makeup during the summertime. When temperatures are soaring and you’re likely to take a dip to cool off, no one wants a face caked full of makeup. This time of year, it’s all about hydrating skincare and pared down products.

One of our favorite ways of looking put together with little to no effort is with a multipurpose product that you can swipe onto multiple areas of the face. The ultimate summer beauty hack? A lip and cheek stain that’s mess-free, can be applied with your fingertips and one you can throw into your beach bag for on-the-go touch-ups. Below, shop a few of our current favorites.
