How to apply sun cream under make-up

Why can you apply sunscreen under make-up without compromising its effect?

It is a common misconception that sunscreen loses its effectiveness under make-up. In fact, both products can be effectively combined to ensure both protection and beauty. Make-up should always be applied as the last step after sunscreen to ensure that the skin is not too oily and the make-up lasts well. We show you what to consider when applying sunscreen under make-up.

How do you apply sunscreen effectively under your make-up?

What type of sunscreen should you choose?

It's important to choose a sunscreen that absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a white film. Sun creams that are specially formulated for the face, such as the Sun Protect Drops from Beauty Mates, offer a light texture that is ideal for wearing under make-up and does not make the skin greasy.

How do you prepare your skin?

Cleanse and hydrate your skin thoroughly before applying sun cream. The best way to do this is to use a rich moisturizer. Allow the sunscreen to absorb for a few minutes before you start applying make-up to ensure that it is fully absorbed and forms a good base. This makes the use of sunscreen under make-up an optimal addition when it comes to protecting your skin.

How do you combine sunscreen and makeup without compromise?

To maximize the effectiveness of your sunscreen under makeup, apply thin layers and allow each layer to be fully absorbed. Then use a make-up primer to set the make-up and maintain the sunscreen's protective effect. Make-up fixers can also help to set both the make-up and the sun protection and sun protection.

Why shouldn't you apply too much sun cream at once?

Too much sun cream under make-up can cause the latter to slip or settle. Apply several thin layers and allow each layer to be fully absorbed before applying the next.

What should you do if your make-up interferes with the sunscreen?

With Beauty Mates we recommend using makeup products with SPF to boost sun protection if you are concerned that your makeup is interfering with the effectiveness of your sunscreen. This provides an extra layer of protection against UV rays.
