It’s Summer Friday! 5 Day-to-Night Beauty Products That Beat the Heat Inline

One of the best things about summer is summer Friday—that delicious moment when cubicle-dwellers collectively desert over–air-conditioned offices for two and a half days of sun-soaked freedom. Whether the afternoon itinerary includes a trek to the beach or a staycation in the city, speed the transition with products that last from a morning at work to a big night out—without melting in the heat.

Start with a sheer, sweatproof canvas, like Make Up For Ever’s lightweight Water Blend foundation; to keep things dewy—not shiny—add a drop or two of Cover FX’s mattifying solution, which controls oil production with salicylic acid and diffuses light to blur the appearance of pores and fine lines.

Highlighting just got a lot easier with Estée Lauder's shimmering cushion stick, an liquid cream designed for on-the-go application that lasts for 8 hours (no brush required). Finish off by dotting Chantecaille's gel blush stain a cool pink on lips and cheeks, and spritz a layer of Caudalie’s Beauty Elixir to set it. Bonus points to those who throw the mist in your clutch—it is travel-size, after all.

Here, five products for a look that works overtime—even when you don’t.
