May 26, 2021: As lockdowns ease up and the world prepares to re-emerge after months of social distancing due to the coronavirus pandemic, we’re all thinking about what we need (and want) to enjoy summer 2021 and look fashion-forward while doing so. Thankfully, beauty brands got wildly creative over the last year, unveiling makeup products that double as accessories, including options from Fenty Beauty and the soon-to-launch Valentino Beauty, among others. No matter what you choose to use, we’re preparing for a summer where we’re not just wearing makeup but accessorizing with it, too. Our picks ahead.
fenty beauty

Rihanna has, yet again, gifted the masses. This time, she turned everyone’s favorite lip gloss into a cute accessory: a clip-on pan (kind of like a barrette) for easy access and juicy lips. Fenty Beauty‘s new Gloss Bomb Dip Clip-on Lip Luminizer is the easiest way to reapply the fan-fave Gloss Bomb lip glosses. The gloss comes in a sheer, universally flattering rosy color that can be clipped on your clothes, belt, or wallet, so you never have to worry if you remembered to pack your gloss.
Valentino beauty

We’ll never forget when Valentino unveiled tiny crossbody clutches designed to hold lipstick and powder compacts at its Spring-Summer 2017 runway show. Apparently, we’re not alone because the luxury label is reviving them for the debut launch of Valentino Beauty, coming this summer. The itty-bitty bag hangs on a delicate gold chain and looks like a standard cool-girl accessory, but its secret is that it comes with a powdered bronzer, blush, or highlighter inside, perfect for on-the-go application. And when it runs out, you can swap the pan out for $50.
Guerlain

This one isn’t brand-new, but it’s the epitome of luxury and a must-have if you refuse to contribute to our nation’s beauty waste problem. Guerlain launched its customizable, refillable Rouge G lipstick program in 2018. How it works is that you choose your shade and then choose the case that catches your eye to match. The best part? The casing doubles as a mirror to help you apply your lipstick without having to use the selfie mode on your iPhone’s camera.
