Just as we trade our sweaters for sundresses this time of year, many of us also trade our heavy, let-no-imperfection-show foundations for lighter BB creams. Luzern's formula brings everything we look for in a BB (think: pollutant-fighting antioxidants, hydrating hyaluronic acid and flattering sheer coverage), plus some additional perks. Not only does this product guard against sun damage, but it also helps shield skin from free radicals emitted from blue (aka the light given off by phones, TVs and computer screens). Use it as a traditional BB, or wear it under foundation like a primer.

A full-coverage foundation might not be the first thing you think of when it comes to summer makeup go-tos. However, those of us who can't fathom hitting up rooftop drinks or a beachside blowout without looking totally flawless will want to have this on hand all season. With one or two small pumps of product, this medium-to-full coverage foundation successfully hides imperfections, leaves skin with a slightly matte finish, acts as another line of sun defense and holds up all day, making it a perfect choice for the next al fresco engagement where you know you'll be seen.

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.

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.
