Now that the clouds have parted and it's officially sunscreen season, it's time to start scouring the beauty aisle for the least oily, heavy formula that won't be totally gross and cakey under or over your makeup. Or, thanks to some of our favorite sun-savvy beauty brands, you can eliminate one gunky layer entirely and stick to your favorite beauty products that already have sun-protectant in them! Summer-friendly brands like Bare Minerals, Smashbox, and even Sephora know what it's like to need protection from the sun's harmful rays without feeling like you're wearing a painted-on shield, so they've added SPF to their everyday products like lipgloss, primer, and foundation to allow your skin to stay safe and actually breathe at the same time! Check out the slideshow for a selection of sun-safe products!

Don't fret -- we've got a bunch of quick beauty fixes to add the finishing touches to your hard-earned bod that will have you strutting your stuff on the boardwalk in no time!
