When the heat is on, there's nothing we want more than to splash cold water on our faces. But obviously, we can't—doing so might ruin our makeup, and you all know how hard it is to make a flawless cat-eye...
The next best solution? Face mists with sun protection! For the newest edition of Cosmo.ph Beauty Wars, we tried three that aim to set and mattify your makeup, and refresh and protect your skin.

Belo SunExpert Transparent Mist SPF50
Price: P480
Where To Buy: The SM Store
What It Is: A spray-on sunscreen that will protect every inch of your face and give your skin that sunkissed glow with or without makeup.
Why We Love It: We loved how this lightly misted our faces! It wasn't heavily perfumed either, so we were able to spray on as much as we wanted throughout the day. Plus, it gave our makeup looks a natural finish—not too matte and not too glowy. YAAAAS!
Nivea Protect & Light Feel Refreshing Invisible Sun Mist SPF50
Price: P569
Where To Buy: The SM Store
What It Is: This non-greasy and fast-absorbing face and body sun spray boasts of a highly effective UVA/UVB protection system, and will leave your skin cool, refreshed, and silky!
Why We Love It: We found this quite greasy and strong-smelling, especially after we sprayed it a few times to get the proper amount of sun protection our faces needed. The good part? It worked well enough for our bodies. It's perfect to bring to the beach when all you care about is protecting your skin, since you'll be jumping in the water anyway!
Disclaimer: The NIVEA Protect & Light Feel Refreshing Invisible Sun Mist SPF50 has been reformulated and is now called the NIVEA Protect & Refresh Cooling Sun Mist.
Supergoop! Defense Refresh Setting Mist With Rosemary SPF50
Price: P663
Where To Buy: Sephora.ph
What It Is: A setting mist that gives a matte finish to control oil, while also delivering UV protection.
Why We Love It: It was light (no overpowering scent!), refreshing, and mattifying, plus it didn't disrupt our makeup! It would have been the ~perfect~ sunscreen face mist, if it weren't for the price. If you want to try it out, though, we recommend buying it during a sale. ;)
