Spring has a way of making me want to simplify everything, including my makeup bag. Less heavy coverge and more light and glowing skin.
This season I have been gravitating toward products that feel light, look effortless, and actually care for my skin while they work. The bonus is that many of these clean beauty favorites are on sale at Credo Beauty right now, making it the perfect time to refresh your routine.
Here is what I have been loving.
Lightweight Base: Skin Tint with SPF for Everyday Wear
ILIA Beauty Skin Tint with SPF 40
This has been my everyday base for a while. It gives just enough coverage to even things out while letting your real skin show through. The SPF built in makes it feel like skincare and makeup in one, which on busy mornings is everything.
It is lightweight, breathable, and gives the most beautiful natural finish. I use shade Diaz.
Defined Lashes Without the Heavy Look
ILIA Mascara
This mascara completes that fresh-faced look without feeling like a full face of makeup. It lengthens and defines without clumping and wears beautifully throughout the day and washes off easily.
The Glow That Looks Like It Comes From Within
Westman Atelier Highlighting Stick in Petal
Petal is a soft luminous pink that looks like light from within rather than shimmer sitting on top of the skin.
Cream Blush That Looks Like Real Skin
Westman Atelier Blush in Garconne, Olive Rose, or Counter Chai
These are my three favorite formulas that blends so seamlessly.
- Westman Atelier Garçonne: soft mauve with warmth for a cool-toned flush
- Olive Rose: sweet rose, warm rosy nude that works on many skin tones
- Counter Chai: dusty rose tone
Any of these are beautiful for spring.
Effortless Lip Definition
Tower 28 Beauty Lip Liner in Paint My Number or Fill Me In
These liners glide on smoothly and can double as an all-over lip color.
- Paint My Number: muted mauve
- Fill Me In: rosy nude
The Perfect Everyday Pink Lip
MERIT Signature Lipstick in Baby
This is the shade I reach for almost daily. A true your-lips-but-better pink that works with everything. The formula is moisturizing and never feels heavy or dry. This Morphosis Lip Balm from Finding Ferdinand is currently in my credo cart. I love a nourishing lip balm with a blend of botanical oils that conditions and evolves with every swipe.
Highlight and Protect at the Same Time
Dermatology Highlighting Stick SPF 15
I love a multitasker. I use this on inner corners of the eyes for a little glow and extra sun protection. It gives a lit-from-within luminosity and feels weightless.
Spot Coverage That Still Looks Like Skin
Olive Rose HT Serum Concealer
On days when I want a little more coverage in specific areas, this is what I reach for. It blends beautifully, does not crease, and still looks like real skin.
The Common Thread: Makeup That Makes Skin Look Better
Every product here does something most makeup does not. It makes your skin look better, not covered.
They are clean, thoughtfully formulated, and designed to work with your skin rather than sit on top of it.
Spring is the perfect season to lean into that effortless, glowing look. And with so many of these on sale at Credo Beauty right now through May 3, it is an ideal time to try something new.
