how stars look amazing all summer! Hot temps and humid days could mean frizzy tresses and melting makeup for most people, but leave it to these celebs to know which products to use to beat the heat! Find out what their must-haves are and even score a few expert beauty tips from their makeup artists!

WATERPROOF MAKEUP
"Selena has beautiful skin and likes to have a slight tan in the summer. She doesn't need a lot of coverage, so a lightweight foundation works best. You have to keep product to a minimum in the warmer part of the year. However, layering is key to making it last all day. If you want your eyeshadow to stay put in the humidity, apply a thin layer of a matte powder shadow to your lids, then take one of the CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlastsand tap in on top. Your shadow will become practically waterproof and stay gorgeous all day. Also, it goes without saying water resistant formulas always work best, like with theCoverGirl LashBlast mascaras."—Selena Gomez’s CoverGirl Celebrity Makeup Artist Karan Mitchell



LIP BALM

"During the summer, keep everything very minimal. Instead of wearing foundation, do a tinted moisturizer instead. Wear waterproof mascara, and stick to blush and lip gloss. Not even lip gloss — lip balm!"—Victoria Justice



DRINK TONS OF WATER

“Drink lots and lots of water because it can get really, really hot out. You want to make sure your skin doesn’t get any breakouts or dry areas. It’s also really good for your hair, especially if you have color-treated hair.”—Ariana Grande



BABY SUNSCREEN

“My skin is so sensitive, so the best beauty trick I've learned is to use baby sunscreen. You also have to have waterproof mascara — that's a must. You can just throw it on and you're done. And some kind of wave spray for your hair — it's going to naturally happen anyway, so why not take the opportunity to enhance that natural beachy thing and make it a look.”
Jennifer Stone




CREAM BLUSH

“In the summer, I don’t like to wear a lot of foundation or powder because I feel like it melts off. I’m a huge fan of cream blushes because I feel like it gives you a doe-y look. I like Tarte and Stila— they make really good ones. As far as hair goes, I let my hair air-dry and it’s sort of wavy, so I just make sure to put some spray in it. There’s Bumble and bumble. Surf Spray, which is good. Then there’s a John Frieda wave spray that protects against frizz too, so that it will dry naturally wavy.”— Lucy Hale



LIP BALM WITH SPF 15

"I know it is hard to believe, but you can burn your lips. A lip balm with SPF 15 is in every single one of my bags."—Kim Kardashian



TINTED MOISTURIZER

“I prefer tinted moisturizer to foundation, and I put it on with a foundation brush, so it doesn’t cake it on too thick. It’s great for summer.”—Debby Ryan




CLINIQUE SUN SPF 30 BODY CREAM

“I like Clinique Sun SPF 30 Body Cream. It’s really gentle for sensitive skin and oil-free. And it doesn't leave any greasy residue!”—Whitney Port




LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER

“If you can avoid your blow dryer and straightener in the summer, that's a plus. Go natural and don’t fight your hair. Use leave-in conditioner — you can apply it in the morning and reapply mid-day. Or you can use other moisturizers during the day to keep your hair shiny and soft. Also, wearing your hair up and piled on top of your head is a very cute look for the summer. It shows your face and neck and beautiful tan skin. Putting your hair up will also keep it protected.”—Rihanna's Hairstylist Ursula Stephen




SMITH'S ROSEBUD SALVE

“I love Smith’s Rosebud Salve. I did this trick last summer, when I was on vacation: I used it to prime my lashes before curling. It was like a natural mascara. It made the lashes hold the curl and look shiny. I use it for everything! And I love L’Oréal Elnett hairspray . It’s very light and holds whatever hairstyle you want.”—Beyoncé



FACE POWDER

"When it's hot out, I like to wear more face powder and I'm really good at washing my makeup off. That's my trick — wash off your makeup before you go to bed. Also, use lotion before you go to bed. I don't like the sun and I'm not in it very often."
Taylor Momsen



BLOTTING PAPER

“My secret to keeping my makeup looking great when it's hot out is blotting paper. It takes moisture off your face without adding layers of powder.”—AnnaSophia Robb
