When it comes to nailing that effortlessly sun-kissed summer vibe, no one does it quite like Selena Gomez. Thanks to celebrity makeup artist Jenna Nicole — the talent behind the faces of Brenda Song, Ashley Park, and more — we’ve got the inside scoop on Selena’s natural makeup routine. Spoiler: it’s a Rare Beauty lovefest. Think radiant skin, softly defined eyes, and a pop of pink on the cheeks — the kind of glow that looks like you, only better. Lightweight, breathable, and beginner-friendly, this look is as easy to recreate as it is to fall in love with. Consider this your summer skin cheat sheet.
Base
Start by evening out the complexion with your choice of Rare Beauty’s Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer for sheer, dewy coverage or the Liquid Touch Foundation if you prefer a bit more polish. A dab of Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer helps spot-correct while keeping things light and breathable. To lock it all in (without losing the glow), Jenna sweeps on the True To Myself Finishing Powder, blurring everything to a soft-focus finish.
Next comes the warmth: a kiss of bronzer dusted over the temples and cheekbones — not for harsh contouring, but for that believable, back-from-the-beach kind of radiance. For the cheeks, Jenna custom-mixes Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Worth and Virtue for a fresh, sunkissed flush. And the finishing touch? Faux freckles dotted across the nose and cheeks using a brown eyeliner — playful, effortless, and peak summer beauty.
Eyes & Lips
To softly sculpt the eyes while keeping things minimal, Jenna begins with Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Liquid Eyeshadow in Nearly Neutral, a warm neutral beige that creates a soft wash of color across the lids. For added depth, she layers on Armani Beauty Eye Tint in 22M Cashew, a warm, matte tan that blends seamlessly into the crease, subtly enhancing the eye’s natural shape. She tightlines the upper waterline with black eyeliner for quiet definition, then coats both top and bottom lashes in black mascara for a flirty, wide-eyed finish.
On the lips, Jenna maintains an effortless yet polished vibe. A deep pink lip pencil adds soft structure, then she finishes with one of two go-to summer staples. For a sheer flush of color with a hydrating feel, she reaches for the Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil in Serenity, a warm rose that delivers that fresh, just-bitten effect. For something a little more luminous, she swaps in the Positive Light Luminizing Lip Gloss in Glimmer — a rose gold gloss infused with champagne and rose gold pearls that catches the light just right. The overall look is easy, radiant, and summer-ready — the kind of makeup that works whether you’re on the beach or heading out for rooftop drinks.
Natural, radiant, and totally wearable — this is summer beauty, the Rare Beauty way.
