All beauty addicts<\/a> know it’s crucial to use sunscreen all year round to protect the skin from UV damage. The sun is the main culprit behind premature aging, so using an SPF is your first line of defense, even before an anti-wrinkle cream. If you\u2019re prone to hyperpigmentation, SPF is essential to prevent or reduce facial spots. But here’s the catch: sunscreen and makeup often don’t play well together. You need the right texture to prevent your makeup from sliding off. You also need to know whether to apply your protection before or after makeup.<\/p>\n

The All-Too-Common Mistake with Foundation and SPF<\/h2>\n

Even if you think you\u2019ve mastered the sunscreen and makeup combo<\/a>, you might still be doing it wrong. In a video posted on Instagram, beauty expert Carole Ballerini reveals how to apply foundation over SPF correctly. The revelations on her account @thecleanjunky will shake up more than a few routines! A few days ago, Ballerini discussed whether retinol is safe to use in summer. Now, she\u2019s tackling the tricky mix of sunscreen and makeup.<\/p>\n

According to Ballerini, applying foundation incorrectly can shift your SPF, making it less effective. When you apply foundation over sunscreen, it\u2019s crucial \u201cnot to move the sunscreen,\u201d<\/em> she warns. \u201cWhen you apply SPF, the filters settle on your skin and form a shield. You have to avoid disturbing this shield as much as possible,\u201d<\/em> she explains.<\/p>\n

How to Apply Makeup After Sunscreen<\/h2>\n

To get it right, you need to wait a bit between your sunscreen and foundation applications. Timing isn\u2019t the only thing that matters, though. The method you use to apply foundation after SPF is key. Forget the brush or your hands, which might disrupt the protective layer. Ballerini recommends using a moistened beauty blender. \u201cI find the sponge is the best way to apply foundation over your sunscreen. It allows you to diffuse the material by tapping, not moving the filters underneath,\u201d<\/em> she advises in her video.<\/p>\n

Concerned followers wondered if the beauty blender might absorb the UV filters from the sunscreen. But Ballerini reassures them: \u201cThe sponge doesn\u2019t absorb the products on your face because it\u2019s moistened beforehand. Plus, you soak it with the foundation. It\u2019s the best method to avoid compromising your sun protection.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve got your foundation in place, the rest of your makeup routine<\/a> is easier. Ballerini concludes, \u201cFor the rest of your makeup, you can use brushes for powder, blush, etc. Just don\u2019t apply too much pressure. The idea, once again, is not to move your SPF.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
