BellaSugar — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 12:00:13 PDT

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.

Beauty Marked! Beach Beauty Essentials

BellaSugar — Tue, 29 May 2007 11:55:08 PDT

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."

Three more beach beauty essentials when you

Beauty Mark #4: Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes! Waterproof Mascara ($18), found by Flutterpie, who gets extra credit for finding a waterproof mascara with a nautical theme. How cute!

Beauty Mark #5: Clinique After-Sun Rescue Balm ($17.50), found by Gruaig_rua. Just in case you do overindulge, this cooling lotion will help soothe sunburn, minimize peeling, and repair your skin.

Beauty Mark #6: Propoline Deep Moisturizing and Repair Hair Mask with Honey and Almond, found by Tinywhale. This heavy-duty hair treatment protects and repairs your locks before and after the beach. Bonus: It's a Greek brand!

What SPF Sunscreen Do You Wear at the Beach?

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?
