Face

Melt-proof your foundation by prepping your complexion with a face primer—while we love Benefit’s brightening formula, choose one that suits your skin best (mattifying, moisturizing or oil-free). After your face makeup has been applied, seal the deal with a setting spray. Trust us, it makes all the difference.

Lips

Set the stage for stay-all-day lip color by priming your pout with a sugar scrub—exfoliating removes dead skin providing a smooth foundation for lipstick and gloss. Additionally, Estee Lauder’s colorless lip pencil enables a budge-proof pucker in a flash... Pretty major, no?

Nails

A favorite of RZ HQ, Deborah Lippmann's DIY gel set will keep your mani fresh and chip-free for over a week! Think of it as your new jet-set staple for summer.

Eyes

Avoiding creasing and smearing by applying primer to your lids before your eyeshadow. In addition to NYX's budget-friendly formula, we champion Anastasia Beverly Hills' multipurpose prepping pencil—you can even use it to touch up your brows!

Hair

Withstand heat, humidity and weekend dance parties by investing in a super-hold spray and styling primer.
