UV protection from the sun is a must, and not just for your face.

  • Hair Conditioner:Slather on leave-in hair conditioner or protector with SPF will keep your locks from getting fried by the sun.
  • Sunscreen:Fight harmful UV rays with a sunblock. Don't forget easily missed areas such as the toes and ears.

These extras make all the difference when you say cheese to the camera. Now, that's babelicious.

  • Foundation: If you need more coverage than a tinted moisturizer can provide, try using foundation. Stick foundations typically offer the longest wear and stay resistant to sweat and water. If your skin is oily, set with a light dusting of loose powder.Try: Shiseido Sun Protection Stick Foundation, an extremely water-resistant stick foundation which provides powerful protection against UVA and UVB rays.
  • Cream Blusher/ Bronzer: Bronzer helps define the contour of your cheeks and eyes, especially under the bright sun, where the face can look flat. No powder blusher will be able to stay on your wet cheeks for long, so use a cream or gel blusher.Try: Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Makeup Palette features bronzing powder, highlighter and glosses all in a compact.
  • Lipstick: Color your puckers with lipstick, and get ready to pout for the camera. Pick matte lipsticks, which stay smudge-free longer.Try: Clinique Color Surge Lipstick for a rich, creamy, saturated color while keeping your lips moisturized.
