Beauty Loot: 11 Summer Makeup Must-Haves

Every Cosmo chick's much-awaited season is finally here! Summer is all about celebrating your natural glowing beauty. Think basic clean neutral shades accentuated with a sun-kissed rosy glow. Keep your strong-colored lipsticks and eye shadows at the back of your dresser drawer--you wouldn't be needing them this season. It's time you made room for just the heat-friendly essentials: lightweight foundation or pressed powder, sheer blush, and a shade of lipstick closest to the natural shade of your pouters or a light gloss in a classic or girly hue.

Be sure that under all that naturally gorgeous makeup, you keep your skin protected from the sun. You can put sunscreen prior to applying makeup, or pick out products that have a high SPF level in them. Your summer preparations should not stop with working out and dieting for a bikini-worthy body. Be sure to keep your face looking fresh and blooming, as it radiates your awesome and fun personality. You never know when you might bump into a HOT guy who can be your next summer fling!

For some fab summer makeup products you may want to try, click on the gallery button below.

65. parang i ilke the maybelline bb cream... kasi i think its going to be effective for me and its really reasonable. I have the shu uemura bb cream, its 4,500 pesos expensive!!! but its actually really effective. makes my skin clear. smooth and really glowing.

42. My friend in Miriam have those beauty products.I'm also jealous 'coz her make ups are appropriate for this season to have a natural glowing beauty.. anyway, I can't wait to buy products from this special brand.. not so expensive and yet it gives a lot of benefits ;). I'm totally interested in fruity jelly and the lightweight foundation.. ;)

13. 1. I love anything with SPF. But the make-up shouldn't be sticky and should be rub-proof. It is such a hassle to be constantly doing retouches.

10. I like Her Bench's lip and cheek tint. I prefer using it during summer. Kahit magpawis ako ng magpawis, it stays put. I don't like using powder blush kasi parang hassle magretouch after pawisan. It doesn't seem sanitary...
