I grabbed products at Sephora that will last through the summertime heat.Jimena Venegas

  • The Sephora Collection Love the Lift curling-and-volumizing waterproof mascara doesn't flake on me.

Sephora offers tons of great products, and as an employee, I'm always looking to find the best ones.

Over the nearly two years I've worked at Sephora, I've loved stocking up on the best makeup for each season. This summer, I'm focusing on products that will look good no matter how hot it gets.

Luckily, the store carries plenty of long-lasting, sweatproof beauty items that are sure to withstand the summertime heat. Here are five beauty products I'd recommend grabbing at Sephora to prepare for summer.

The Sephora Collection Love the Lift curling-and-volumizing waterproof mascara doesn't flake on me at all.

The Sephora Collection Love the Lift waterproof mascara is by far one of my favorite products for the summer. I like that it's waterproof, so I can wear it at the beach or to other summertime events without worrying about my mascara running.

I've worn it in the pool, and it's never flaked or left me with "raccoon eyes." I also love that the formula is made with wax, so it curls and lifts my lashes beautifully.

The Estée Lauder double-wear stay-in-place foundation lasts all day, even in the heat.

This liquid foundation has a beautiful matte finish and can last up to 24 hours on the skin, making it perfect for busy summer days. I find this oil-free foundation lasts in hot, humid weather while still feeling lightweight and comfortable.

I wear the shade 2N2 Buff, which is a light-medium color with subtle golden undertones.

I use the One/Size On 'Til Dawn mattifying waterproof setting spray when I need my makeup to stay in place all day.

This waterproof setting spray gives my skin a matte finish that lasts all day. It's made with green-tea extract and witch hazel, which help tighten pores and absorb oil, respectively.

It also has a transfer-proof formula, which means it won't easily rub off and will keep my makeup in place all day through the heat. Even if I'm sweating, I know my makeup isn't going anywhere as long as I'm wearing this setting spray.

I love the formula of the Kosas Blush is Life dimensional-and-brightening blush.

This talc-free powder blush is made with squalane and hyaluronic acid to keep skin hydrated and balanced. The silky smooth blush melts into my skin and seamlessly blends to create a radiant look.

The blushes come in buildable, dimensional pink, orange, and mauve hues for a long-wearing, healthy flush of color on the cheeks. I have the shade Blissed, which is a perfect combination of peach and pink.

This lightweight moisturizer with SPF protection makes my skin look glowy and plump each time I apply it. It can also help reduce the appearance of pores and dark spots.

This two-in-one moisturizer and sunscreen has SPF 30, so it's perfect for wearing at the beach or out in the sun. It gives me natural-looking coverage and comes in various tints — I wear shade four.
