This lip-and-cheek SPF streamlines your makeup routine

We all have those mornings when we’re short on time, but I refuse to leave the house without a touch of no-makeup makeup so I don’t look like a monster (because you never know who you might run into). This makeup requires little more than a tinted sunscreen or moisturizer, concealer under my eyes, a light swipe of mascara and I pop of color on my lips and cheeks—but this last step often requires rummaging around my makeup drawer.

I found the perfect product to take care of this final finishing touch, as it’s so easy (and versatile) that I could actually apply it in the car if I had to. It’s Supergoop’s Perk Up! Lip & Cheek Treat SPF 40, and the name alone screams YOU NEED THIS.

I rose-tinted balm with broad-spectrum SPF 40 protection, a little dab on the cheeks makes it look as if you’ve been up and running for hours, even if it’s only 7am and you feel like you’re running on empty. It’s also great anytime your lips need a bit of extra moisture and sun protection (which is basically always), and the tint enhances your pout’s natural color.

Best of all, it comes in a cute little compact that you can toss in your bag or tuck into your bag pocket so it’s always there when you need it.
