The most stylish people I know consider this makeup brand to be among the finest.
There are numerous excellent makeup brands available. In fact, there are so many that my friends often inquire about my recommendations. I consistently tell them the same thing: it entirely depends on what you're looking for. As a beauty editor and makeup artist, I've come to understand that various makeup brands possess distinct strengths. For example, Charlotte Tilbury is my go-to brand whenever I'm scheduled to be on camera, as I can always count on its foundation, concealer, and setting powder to provide that soft-focused finish. However, for my daily makeup, I prefer a natural, glowing appearance, and one brand excels in that area: Summer Fridays. Established in 2018 by Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Ireland, this brand was primarily recognized for its skincare (the Jet Lag Mask continues to be a bestseller). Recently, they have expanded into easily applicable makeup formulas that align perfectly with their goal of creating simple, effective, hydrating products that seamlessly integrate into your everyday routine. But that’s not all. True to Summer Fridays' style, the packaging is minimalistic and stylish, which likely explains why it often appears on your Instagram feed. Indeed, some of the most fashionable people I know are devoted fans of this makeup brand, so it feels timely to analyze all their products. Below, I've compiled a complete face of Summer Fridays makeup and reviewed my favorite formulas from the brand. Experience happy and healthy-looking skin right here...

1. **Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint**
Best base product
Pros: Lightweight, hydrating formula; easy to blend; adds radiance
Cons: Requires the use of concealer for additional coverage
This is undoubtedly one of the best skin tints I’ve ever used. It features an incredibly lightweight, hydrating formula that glides on effortlessly, blends seamlessly, and never settles into dry patches. Instead, it provides a fresh, radiant finish that leaves people asking why I look so luminous. While it doesn’t offer significant coverage, it does help to balance out redness. I pair it with a slightly more opaque concealer for my ideal daily base. Infused with calming tiger grass, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid, my skin absorbs it beautifully.
2. **Summer Fridays Bronzing Drops**
Best for a sun-kissed effect
Pros: Hydrating; imparts a sun-kissed glow; easily blends with skin tint
Cons: Would appreciate a wider range of shades in the future
When my complexion needs some life, I love blending these bronzing drops with the skin tint mentioned above to achieve a radiant, sun-kissed effect. Like the skin tint, these drops contain glycerin and hyaluronic acid, supplying hydration along with a dewy bronze finish. They contain no shimmer, ensuring a natural look, and can also be mixed into your moisturizer for added warmth on no-makeup days. Currently, the product is available in only one shade, but I would love to see more shades come out in the future.
3. **Summer Fridays Illuminating Drops**
Best for a glowy finish
Pros: Multi-use formula; provides immediate radiance
Cons: Offers more of a natural glow rather than a shimmery highlight
I've tested many illuminating makeup products, but these drops genuinely amazed me upon first application. Given that Summer Fridays excels at natural makeup, I incorrectly assumed they wouldn’t provide much glow, but I was mistaken. This product isn’t a traditional highlighter and doesn't add any shimmer, but it does deliver an unparalleled level of radiance. The serum-like formula can be applied in various ways for a dewy, lit-from-within effect. Personally, I like to mix a few drops into my skin tint and then apply a small amount on the high points of my cheekbones at the end of my routine.
4. **Summer Fridays Bronzer Butter Balm**
Best bronzer
Pros: Buttery formula; easy to blend
Cons: May be too creamy for very oily skin
This product had me at "butter balm." It’s a smooth, creamy treat that almost melts into the skin, effortlessly blending with your makeup and providing a naturally radiant, sun-kissed vibe. It’s the type of bronzer that’s convenient to apply whether you’re at home or on the go; just swipe it on for instant warmth. It's challenging to convey how creamy the formula is, but it contains skin-loving ingredients like shea butter and mango seed butter. While it may not suit those who prefer a defined, contoured look, if you want an easy-to-use bronzer that yields
