2. Shiseido Sports BB Broad Spectrum SPF 50+

There are some people that absolutely hate putting on sunblock at the start of the day, and there are those that cannot leave the house without it. I am part of the latter. Putting on SPF is one beauty tip that must not be forgotten, as getting exposed to harmful rays speeds up skin ageing and causes a lot of other problems. Good thing there are lots of better (read: non-sticky) formulas in the market now, with the likes of Shiseido's Sports BB SPF 50, made for rapid drying of sweat and water to prolong makeup; protects even when exposed to water, and has a cooling effect.

3. Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Leg Makeup

Not even models are blessed with blemish-free legs, but they can definitely be created with a wonder product such as this. This product perfects the appearance of your legs by covering freckles, veins, and imperfections, and stimulating microcirculation for healthier and firmer looking legs and feet. Water resistant and transfer resistant, it's the perfect ally for active days outdoors.
