    Good Day New York Pool Party Must Haves 🏝️

    Nobody wants a makeup meltdown or a sunburn while lounging by the pool this 4th, so I’ve packed some fun ideas that multitask all the coverage and protection you need while keeping you looking hot! 

    Let’s face it—it’s going to be hot! We want products that stay put and don’t slide down our face at the first sweat or dip. We also want products that multi-task! This tinted cream is feather light, has a powerful SPF, and has skincare perks.

    If you’re looking for a more makeup-free look or want to cover undereye darkness, we are obsessed with this concealer. It vanishes into the skin with a matte finish, has a brightening serum, and is packed with SPF 35. It’s a favorite of my MEN!
