Summer Must-Have: A Simple Makeup Routine With the heat and humidity you won't want to wear a full face of makeup this summer, but that doesn't mean you can't look polished. One way to instantly look put together: well-groomed brows (whip them into shape with tweezers, like Tweezerman Slant Tweezer, $20, and keep them in place with clear brow gel like Tweezerman BrowMousse, $9). Perfect brows showcase eyes -- no makeup necessary!

Other ways to lighten the makeup load are to use a tinted moisturizer with SPF in place of regular foundation (try Bobbi Brown SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizers, $40) and a tinted lip balm with SPF, like Benefit Benetint Lip Balm SPF 15, $20, instead of lip liner and lipstick. A quick swipe of blush and waterproof mascara (check out the best ones here) and you're good to go! Just be sure to keep blotting papers around to sop up any shine, they're less messy than powder.

Can't do without sunscreen year round in the FL sunshine, but I'm starting to wonder about the self tanner. I like the tan look but if it leads to cancer, forget about it!

This list was a little boring. Not sure why it didn't grab me--I love summer!

I use the Coppertone Tanning lotion and it's pretty awesome.
