Sunscreen Reapplication over Makeup

Does anyone have any tips on reapplying sunscreen over makeup? I personally havent tried sunsticks because I cant imagine that being sanitary, and also dragging something over my face might end up ruining my makeup? I’ve also doubted using powders with SPF since I wouldnt know how much I’d need to properly protect my face. The only safe option I know is to just not wear base makeup to make re-application easy 😭

I personally love sun sticks, they do remove some makeup but it’s never made me look crazy afterwards. You can sanitize after each use. But if you perfer liquid SPF try reapplying with a sponge. Blot your face first from oils, then apply some SPF to the back of your hand, bounce your sponge in it and then dab all over your face. This works great over makeup, just have to find a sanitary way to keep a sponge with you or maybe one of those flat circle cushion sponges. Also there are those cushion spfs which could be an option.

hmmm if youre not into sun sticks, maybe consider sprays or sun cushions? sun sticks are still the most convenient over makeup imo. if you feel icky about the hygiene, you can wipe the stick clean before and after every use ☻

Sunsticks and sun cushion pacts are the most practical for reapplication but the best method is still using the normal creamy/liquid sunscreen that we use daily but instead, apply it over makeup with a dry velvet microfiber sponge. Here’s a demonstration by the person who started the method 👇 https://www.instagram.com/reel/CiJE5VghRx-/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
