Be a Beach Blanket babe: here comes the sun... (GL Beauty).

 New York Color Brush-on Lip Glaze in Marvelous, and you're out the dorr. Going out later? Dust eyelids. Oneeks, nose and forehead with a bronzing powder, like Rimmel Sunshimmer Natural Bronzer, if your face is oily. If your skin is normal or dry, highlight your cheeks with Sonia Kaskuk Illuminating Color Stick in Glowify. Make you lips sand out by layering your NYC Marveious gloss over L'Oreal Colour Riche lipstick in Sandstone. Everyone will ask you how your day at the beach was. Just s mile knowingly.

Dare to go nude...

Look like you are wearing no makeup at all...or at least that's the idea. The hottest color this summer? Shades that barely show. Nude tones like beige, sand and linen look best on skin that's moist, dewy dew·y

1. Moist with or as if with dew: dewy grass in early morning.

2. Accompanied by dew: a dewy morning.

. Then let eyes shine with a shimmery sheer (we used Clinique Touch Tint for Eyes in Nude Sparkle). Nude lipsticks can totally wash you out, so pick a shade that's a little lighter and brighter than your skin, not darker, And this is one color that looks terrific on everyone's nails (check out Sothy's Nail Polish in Perle de Rosee). Soft, pretty and natural--yep, that's you!

SUMMER BEAUTY BUMMERS Bummers was a nickname applied to foragers of Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman's Union army during its March to the Sea and north through North Carolina and South Carolina during the American Civil War. ... SOLVED!

Help! I can't stand chemical SPF sunscreens. I know I need to use something to keep from burning but what?

Yes everyone (and we mean everyone) needs to slather slath·er

Cf Sunscreen.  30 minutes before setting foot outside (even on cloudy days). If you don't believe in better sunstopping through chemistry, look for sunblocks with allnatural ingredients. Lather Botanical Sunscreen with Green Tea Extract and Origins Beach Blanket both use titanium dioxide (doesn't sound natural, we know, but it is) to keep you sun-safe. Spending time in the woods? Try Joey New York Outdoor Activities. Not only does it protect you with SPF 15, but it contains botanicals and extracts to ward off mosquitoes, fleas and ticks. And we love Noode Shield Me Pure SPF 15, ($14.50). It's hypoallergenic; PABA-, oil- and fragrance-free; quick-drying; and protects against UVA and UVB UVB ultraviolet B; see ultraviolet. ...all without leaving your skin feeling greasy. Perfect!

Yuck! My skin lucks like it belongs to an alligator!

 Body Scrub. A cheaper solution? Make your own body scrub by mixing 114 cup granulated sugar, two tablespoons canola oil and two tablespoons fresh milk. Scrub the mixture on while standing in the shower, and rinse off with warm water. Follow up with a rich body moisturizer and--if you really want to combat the Casper look--a self-tanner.

Aargh! I have short hair, and there is nothing cute I can do with it at the beach to keep it from just looking like it's lying there.

Headbands and little hair clips are two cute options. But short hair is perfect for our favorite new product--KMS Turnstyle Head Wetter All Wet Spray ($13). Spray it on short hair, and you'll get a wet, sleek style that looks really cool on the beach. Like you just went into the water and came out with perfect hair. Nifty.

We loved last summer's twists, but who has the 10 extra hands needed to create those cute 'dos? Claire's Twist 'n' Clip (S6.50) to the rescue! This is the best hair toy we've seen for a while. Slip on the headband, grab sections of hair, twist and clip into the clasps built into the band. It works on just about any hair length (we tried it everyone), and you can use it even if your hair is wet. Joyous!
