Many cosmetic lines have recognized the demand for products with sunscreen, including M.A.C. cosmetics with an SPF of 8 in all their foundations. Other lines offer products that have sunscreen with an SPF rating of at least 8, with many at 15 while some pushing the envelope at 30.

Clarins has a great variety of products to protect face and body with prices ranging from $18 to $28. Clarins is one of the few lines to offer “After Sun” skin care products.
For those of us who forget our sunscreen you can keep their handy sun block stick in your handbag. Lancome cures two ails at once with their version of the sunstick with Vitamin E for face and lips with a SPF of 30.

I suspect staying away from the bright colors will do us good since I’m not so sure that returning to the make-up excesses of the 80’s is such a wise idea.
"Keep it simple" is still my motto.
Use a dime sized amount of tinted moisturizer, applied with fingertips, a light coating of waterproof mascara from Maybelline, then dust your face with a bronzer some lip gloss and voila, you' re set to go!
