Beach Beauty Survival Kit from Celeb Stylist Sarah Uslan

Everyone wants to look hot at the beach, but wearing a pound of makeup with your bikini is just not a good look.   Heavy makeup will smudge, smear, or wash off in about five minutes, and the thick-eyeliner-and-dramatic-lipstick look may work at a club at 1 a.m., but it'll look clownish on a sunny beach.  For some quick & easy tips on becoming a beach bombshell in a flash (after all, it's a little late for lipo), we consulted Sarah Uslan, a celebrity makeup artist and co-founder of the Luxe Beauty Team.  Check out the adorable video here.

Beach Beauty Survival Kit Contents

L’Oreal Sublime Bronze One-Day ($10): this gel immediately gives your skin a natural, sun-kissed look -- and unlike self-tanners, if you make a mistake, it washes off easily with soap and water.
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Pink ($24): this adds a subtle, glowy pink to the apples of the cheek.
Stila Pomegranate Crush ($24): a multi-tasking product that adds a natural color to both lips and cheeks -- won’t take up room in your beach bag, but goes a long way.
Revlon Eyelash Curler ($4.65): the easiest way to make your eyes look huge!  Don’t forget to follow up with some waterproof mascara, or your lashes will lose their curl from the heat or from the water if you go for a swim.
Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara ($5): the drugstore classic that creates lashes out of nothing, in an unbeatable waterproof formula.
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Eye Shadow ($22):  this eye shadow looks natural and lasts no matter how hot and sweaty you get.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist ($9):  a sunscreen you can just spray on, so you don’t have to worry about getting your hands all greasy and gross.
