How to Add SPF to Every Step of Your Makeup Routine

The sun's got nothing on you
Gone are the days where sunscreen-loaded products were synonymous with those that left skin a greasy, patchy mess. It Cosmetics' imperfection-blurring formula is made up of flattering light-diffusing particles that are basically like an Instagram filter IRL. It also contains a whopping SPF 50+ physical sunscreen, which blocks both aging UVA rays and cancer-causing UVB rays. Dust it over makeup to use it as a setting powder, wear it as a foundation.

Rosy cheeks can instantly perk up a complexion -- as long as they're not a result of too much sun exposure. This liquid blush kills two birds with one stone by imparting a healthy flush on the cheeks and upping your SPF game with its mineral-sunscreen-infused formula. And there's no need to hem and haw over colors -- Dr. Perricone's one-shade-fits-all blush looks natural on all skin tones.

By now you probably know that tanning is a big beauty no-no. Sure, that golden skin looks good in the short term, but the wrinkles and cancer risk that come with it aren't worth it. That said, we also don't blame you if you miss that sun-kissed look. Enter: Peter Thomas Roth's brush-on bronzer. With this product, you won't have to sacrifice sun protection to get a golden goddess-like glow. Dust it all over your face (or body) for an instant bronze -- as well as another layer of SPF 30.

If the natural glisten you get from sitting in the sun isn't enough for your liking, you'll want to reach for this illuminator. The highlighter, which comes in a handy self-contained fluffy brush dispenser, dusts skin with a natural-looking glow, as well as a mineral sunscreen. Add a highlight to your cheekbones -- and then feel free to use apply it liberally on your collarbone, shoulders, arms, legs, or wherever else you want to rock a shimmering skin ('tis the season to bare it all). Even better, whether you're sweating during beach volleyball or splashing around in the waves, you can count on your glow to stick around: This illuminator is sweat-resistant up to 40 minutes.

Even if you're diligently applying the recommended amount of sunscreen to the rest of your face (a whole teaspoon, for the record), we'll bet you still neglect your lips from time to time. That's where this sleek lip tint comes in. It kisses your pucker with a healthy dose of color (choose from four shades), while protecting them from the sun's rays and nourishing them with shea butter and a cocktail of hydrating oils.
