This season, we’re turning up the heat on our beauty routines. After spending more than a year indoors, we’re ready to pull out all the stops and create beauty looks that make up for lost time. From bright and bold eyeshadows to sensual vacation scents, this summer is all about embracing the sun and having a good time.

And it's not just us; celebs are also embracing color and ease this season. Whether they're working out in the heat or planning a trip to the beach, everyone is ready to showcase their personal style and get some sunshine. Ahead, we chatted with influential actresses, models, influencers, and more to learn what beauty and wellness products are hot on their radar this summer.

Megan Thee Stallion

Maddie Ziegler

Maddie Ziegler loves eye-catching colors in the summer months. In fact, her penchant for bright looks was the inspiration behind her collaboration with Morphe—the dancer recently released the Imagination Palette ($25) filled with radiant shades. “You can create so many different kinds of looks with just one palette,” she tells us exclusively. “This makes it convenient to pack for traveling!”

Camila Alves McConaughey

Camila Alves McConaughey admits that she can't always get a full night’s sleep as a busy mom and entrepreneur.

It glides on easily and has been my go-to when playing up my eyes in a fun way.”

Jada Pinkett Smith

It's not always easy committing to an all-natural deodorant—especially in the summer months. However, Jada Pinkett Smith is a huge fan of her wellness brand’s Hey Humans Naturally Derived Deodorant ($5) featuring coconut oil, rosemary extract, and arrowroot powder. “Before Hey Humans, I had a very difficult time finding an effective deodorant, but I believe we hit the mark with ours,” she adds.

Kristin Cavallari prioritizes hair care, even when her plans include taking a dip in a pool. She swears by the dpHUE x Kristin Cavallari Brightening Powder ($30), which quickly removes minerals, metals, and other impurities that cause hair dullness. “It acts like a magnet and draws out impurities, including chlorine. It's truly a must-have for summer.”

That's why Danica Patrick turns to energy powder, filled with functional ingredients like adaptogens, nootropics, and electrolytes, to power her through a workout. The racing driver explains, “Beam’s Elevate Energy ($39) keeps me going for long days while helping me stay hydrated in the Arizona heat, especially as my training ramps up for the Boston Marathon in October."

For Olivia Munn, gut health is important. And Poppi ($2), her favorite prebiotic soda, makes inside-out wellness simple. "It is the easiest and most delicious way to get my gut health in check, make my skin glow, and get rid of bloating,” the actress explains. “I started drinking it last summer and have been hooked ever since."

Jasmine Sanders

“Owning a jump rope makes it easy to work out when you’re traveling,” the runway model shares. And the Tone It Up Jump Rope ($9) is her trip companion of choice. “It’s the perfect thing to have when you’re on the go. You can throw it in your purse or your carry-on to get your heart rate going during those hotel workouts. Everyone should own one.”

Rebecca Rittenhouse

Rebecca Rittenhouse always finds herself reaching for the same brands in the heat: Epicuren, Monastery, and Saint Jane. “They are my absolute summer favorites,” the California beauty reveals. 

“I love to leave the Monastery Rose Glycolic Gel ($79) on my skin overnight because it makes me feel clean and simultaneously luxe,” Rittenhouse explains. She also swears by the Saint Jane’s The C Drops ($90) for her morning routine.
