Hitting the beach can be problematic when it comes to your makeup. All the things that are great about the seashore — the sand, the surf, the soft, salty, humid breeze — cause regular beauty products to run, melt, and just plain fail. And that's where these products come in. They're designed to be sweat-proof and waterproof and to keep you pretty. For some brilliant beach-ready finds, just keep reading.
During the Summer, every fabulous New Yorker wants to head to the Hamptons — and why wouldn't they? The eastern end of Long Island is filled with beautiful mansions, adorable cottages, and all of the other perks of a resort lifestyle. If you're heading there this Summer — or if you're just looking for a piece of the good life — then browse my picks for a Hamptons-ready bag of beach beauty.
You may have heard that FabSugar is going to Greece — lucky girl! So in honor of her upcoming island-hopping adventure, I devoted last week's Beauty Mark It challenge to finding the beach beauty essentials she'll need for her trip.
With hair, makeup, and skincare products to consider, this challenge was incredibly extensive, and I really think we've covered all the bases, from beach-inspired palettes to protective hair masks and post-sun balms. You can see all of the Beach Beauty Marks here, and check out my picks below. (To learn what a Beauty Mark is and how to make one, click here.)
Beauty Mark #1: Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock ($8.99), found by Mellie_608, who says: "This is my favorite sunblock. I like the cooling sensation and the ease of use. All you do is spray it on and let it dry. No more greasy hands. I hate greasy hands, especially when sand is involved!"
Beauty Mark #2: Pout Palm Beach Compact ($28), found by Spun Sugar, who calls this her "fave 'do it all' compact for summer. Two lip colors and two cheek/highlighter colors. Great on the go!"
Beauty Mark #3: Juice Beauty SPF 15 Tinted Lip Moisturizers ($15), found by Elpatterson, who calls these "perfect for beachy glamor" and says they "feel great on, like you're wearing nothing but a creamy balm."

Most of you wear some type of sun protection on a daily basis. But what if you're at the beach or out in the sun all day? What's your idea of serious sunscreen?
You may have heard that FabSugar is going to Greece — lucky girl! — and for her vacation, she asked readers to go Fab Finding for all of her Grecian fashion needs. So in this week's Beauty Mark It challenge, I thought we'd help her find some beach beauty essentials for her island-hopping adventure.
If I were headed to Greece, I'd be sure to bring along the new Frederic Fekkai Summer Hair Wash & Wear. What summery makeup, hair, and skincare products would you pack for a Mediterranean adventure? If you haven't already, let me know by Beauty Marking your favorite beach beauty essentials and telling me a bit about why you like them. Just tag your choices with the phrase "Beach Beauty." I'll feature my favorites on BellaSugar next Tuesday, May 29.
