I try not to rub my face when applying makeup or concealer after sunscreen. To assure sun protection, I use a finishing powder with spf 30 after I’m all done and before I am out the door. Also,I apply the powder before I go out again later in the day. It does not substitute for the proper use of sunscreen, but it helps.

In reply to audrey. Sounds like a good way to do it. Thanks for sharing, Audrey.

In reply to Gio. I always use makeup sponge (have been using it for the past 2.5 years) to apply sunscreen & makeup. And it does soak up the sunscreen and foundation (we can see the colours of foundations & sunscreen on it because it has red colour). so I always apply more than the recommended amount of sunscreen, because i'm worried about the amount of sunscreen my makeup sponge take with it.

In reply to audrey. Audrey, it really depends on how you apply them. As long as you're not rubbing away the sunscreen to put them on, you should be fine.

What about using a full face of makeup (foundation, setting powder, bronzer, blushers, highliters, eyeshadows, contouring powders, makeup setting sprays) after using physical sunscreen? Will it effect the effectiveness of my sunscreen?

In reply to Maya. Maya, can you share the link? I'd like to check it out as, from what I know, mineral sunscreens are the most effective.
