Hi Jamie!
It’s been SO HOT OUTSIDE here in NYC and I’ve been struggling cause when I’ve been hanging out I realize I need to reapply my sunscreen but I’ve already spent a good hour making sure it doesn’t melt off of my face, LOL. Any advice?
Thank youuu.

Hi M!
This is a great question and, like you said, very timely for summer. So, here are your best options for reapplying sunscreen over makeup.
Oh, and a note for everyone reading: Don’t forget that you should always apply SPF to your face before you apply makeup, too. 😉
xo,
Jamie
3 Ways to Reapply Sunscreen Over Makeup
1// A makeup setting powder with SPF
Makeup setting powders are great for when it’s hot out, so why not use one that has built in SPF?
My pick: bareMinerals Mineral Veil Setting Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 25
This version from bareMinerals is completely sheer so it won’t mess with your foundation shade, etc.
2// Powdered Sunscreen
I’ve been raving about how much I love mineral powder SPF for years, and especially this one – it’s great for on-the-go (I keep one in my car since it’s powder and won’t degrade), and it’s also good for your scalp!
My pick: ColoreScience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50
Like I said, I’ve used/loved this product for years and they recently improved the formula by adding hyaluronic acid for hydration, as well as proprietary formulas to help with antioxidant and pollution defense. I seriously LOVE this stuff.
3// Makeup setting spray with SPF
Similar to the makeup setting powder, this is just in spray form!
My pick: Supergoop (Re) Setting Refreshing Mist SPF 40
This spray SPF is formulated for this exact purpose, which I love. It’s got a matte finish and the subtle hint of rosemary and mint, which also I love.
