The Best Essentials to Keep in Your Beach Bag This Summer, According to Experts

Since this Charlotte Tilbury primer contains SPF, it's a quick upgrade. "This invisible primer nourishes the skin to provide a great base for a day at the beach," Garshick says. "It's lightweight, but also hydrating, as it contains hyaluronic acid."

To minimize the number of products in your bag, consider adding a multipurpose product to your rotation. Celebrity makeup artist Shadi Malek loves using this foundation on beach and pool days. "My favorite waterproof foundation is Dior's Backstage Face and Body Foundation, as it's lightweight and leaves behind a natural finish for the beach or pool."

Wander Beauty's coveted Upgraded Lashes Treatment Mascara is long-lasting, and has a two-in-one formula that Garshick loves that helps support lash strength and thickness.

"This lightweight broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen features 12 percent zinc oxide, iron oxide, antioxidants, plus a patented Enviroscreen technology to protect against UVA/UVB, blue light, pollution, and infrared radiation," Garshick says. "The sunscreen uses its iron oxide pigments to adapt to your specific skin tone without leaving the skin feeling greasy, making it ideal for all skin types."

And for a natural-looking rosy cheek on beach days, she opts for this subtle yet impactful blush from MAC. "This blush is the perfect mix of a blush and highlighter. Its luminosity is just perfect, and it gives you that sun-kissed flush without looking like you've actually just applied blush."

Another beloved multipurpose essential Malek swears by is Saie's all-in-one Sunvisor tint. "It's a serum, oil, moisturizer, and SPF in one, and the way it sits on the skin is perfect," she explains. "I always keep this product in my bag."

Garshick recommends using this Bliss balm to remove lingering makeup and sunscreen after a day at the beach, since it effectively cleanses skin without drying it out.

To keep her beauty look in place, Gabbay Braha reaches for this face mist from Supergoop! "To refresh my makeup and reapply SPF without missing a beat, I spritz the Supergoop! (Re)setting Refreshing Mist all over my face every two to three hours," she says.

Here's a tinted balm our experts love that uses a blend of shea and olive butters, along with SPF 30, to keep lips feeling supple and protected.

"A go-to for the body, this easy-to-apply sunscreen absorbs easily and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth, while providing SPF 60 UVA and UVB coverage," Garshick notes. "It also contains La Roche-Posay's Cell-Ox Shield technology, which provides antioxidant protection for both the face and body."

"If your makeup tends to slide in the heat, try KVD Beauty's tattoo pencil eyeliner," Gabbay Braha says. "They're legitimately waterproof since they feature a gel formula and are available in both neutral shades, like warm brown, black, and gray, in addition to more vibrant ones, like cobalt blue and emerald."

Garshick also recommends It Cosmetics' best-selling Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Concealer for seamless, all-day wear. "This concealer's formula contains peptides, vitamins, hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants that work to smooth and de-puff the under-eye area, as well as conceal it," she says.

Malek always keeps this culty spray from Urban Decay in her beach bag—as do more than 11,000 Amazon shoppers who also swear by its makeup setting power. Plus, its formula locks your summer beauty look in place for up to 16 hours with just a few spritzes.

"When reaching for a midday snack while at the beach, it's important to be sure your hands are clean," Garshick advises. "I love this nourishing hand sanitizer from Dove, which effectively removes germs and bacteria without drying out the skin."

"I love the applicator on the Tarte Cosmetics' Lights, Camera, Splashes Waterproof Mascara, as I find it adds length and volume," Malek says.
