SPF and makeup: how to combine them perfectly
You know the feeling. You’ve done your skincare in the morning, applied SPF, finished your makeup... and by midday, the doubt starts to creep in. Should you remove your entire makeup look to reapply? And even more frustrating: what if your sunscreen didn’t sit well under your makeup from the very beginning?
That’s often where things go wrong. Many sunscreens feel too greasy, don’t absorb properly, leave a white cast, or cause your foundation to slide, flake, or become shiny. The result? We apply too little, skip SPF on days when we wear makeup, or simply don’t reapply because we’re afraid of ruining our look.
Such a shame, because sun protection remains one of the most important steps in your routine. Not only to protect your skin, but also to help prevent premature skin ageing.
Still, it doesn’t have to be complicated. Once you choose the right products and follow a smart routine, SPF and makeup can work beautifully together.
First things first
The right base
Choosing the right base mainly depends on your preference. If you prefer something lightweight, the SPF 50 Skin Shield Drops are ideal: a mineral serum with a lightweight, non-greasy texture and transparent finish. If you prefer a product that also works beautifully as a primer under your makeup, the High Protection Sunscreen SPF 50 is a great option thanks to its natural tint and pearlescent matte finish.
Tip: let it sink in for a few minutes before applying your makeup! This helps prevent a grainy finish.

The Compact Foundation Powder SPF 50 is ideal as the next step in your routine. The velvety formula provides even, natural coverage, subtly mattifies, and feels comfortable all day long. This way, your skin not only looks fresh and cared for, but also stays beautifully protected.
Don't forget your lips
Lips are still surprisingly often forgotten, even though they are particularly sensitive to the sun. Especially on days when you spend a lot of time outdoors, are on the go, or simply enjoy sitting on a terrace, protection is essential there too.
With the SPF 50 Lip Balm and SPF 30 Lip Gloss, fortunately, you don't have to choose between protection and a beautiful look. Whether you go for a nourishing balm with a subtle touch of colour or prefer a glossy finish, your lips look beautiful while being protected at the same time.
This way, SPF becomes a natural part of your lip-care routine too.
