As we finally finish finals and wrap up the semester, warm weather is ready to greet us. With the summer season comes sunshine, beach trips and more. Transitioning your makeup from the colder winter months to a more bronzed, sun-kissed look that is comfortable in the heat can be tricky. To help, here are some must-haves from Sephora that are perfect for summer!

Prep and Prime

Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer

This primer features coconut water and refreshes your skin while providing a smoothing base for any makeup.

MILK MAKEUP Blur Stick

This smoothing stick comes in a universally flattering shade that evens skin. Its packaging makes it easy to take on the go and apply as a primer or as an invisible foundation for days when you don't want to wear a full face of makeup.

Face

AMOREPACIFIC Color Control Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum SPF 50+

Packaged in a convenient cushion compact, this foundation offers build-able coverage with a high SPF protection for sunny days.

DIOR Diorskin Forever Perfect Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 35

Though it is a bit heavier than the compact above, Diorskin Forever Perfect Foundation is a fantastic summer option. It provides full coverage while still allowing your skin to breath and look natural on days when you need a bit more foundation.

Marc Jacobs Beauty O!Mega Bronzer Perfect Tan

With a high price point, this bronzer may seem like a stretch. However, the large compact gives a huge amount of product and the pigmented powder creates the perfect sun-kissed glow, making it well worth the splurge.

BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Champagne Pop

Beauty Guru Jaclyn Hill's collaboration with BECCA Cosmetics resulted in a beautiful highlighter that is an essential for any makeup junkie.

TARTE Brighter Days Highlighting Moisturizer

For days when you want a natural glow without having to layer on different products, this moisturizer nourishes skin and provides a dewey finish.

Eyes

TOO FACED Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara

TOO FACED's cult classic mascara is now available in a waterproof formula, perfect for days at the beach.

Urban Decay Perversion Waterproof Fine-Point Eye-Pen

This eyeliner provides precision application and a waterproof formula that won't smudge - even on your sweatiest days.

Body

Tarte Better Bod Bronze & Contour + Mitt

For a perfectly tan body, try Tarte's new bronzing lotion. It even comes with a mitt for hassle-free application.

Finishing

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder

These finishing powders from Hourglass are universally flattering. For a perfect sun-kissed look all over your face, dust this all over!

Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray

Keeping makeup in place on hot summer days can be tough. This longtime favorite from Urban Decay locks your look in place for a perfect face of makeup that lasts all day and night.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
