Combining sun protection and makeup? Here's how to do it right
You know the feeling. You’ve done your skincare in the morning, applied SPF, finished your makeup... and by midday, doubt sets in. Do you need to remove your entire makeup look to reapply? And even more frustrating: what if your sunscreen didn’t sit well under your makeup from the start?
That’s often where things go wrong. Many sunscreens feel too greasy, don’t absorb well, leave a white cast, or cause your foundation to shift, flake, or shine. The result? We apply too little, skip SPF on days we wear makeup, or simply don’t reapply for fear of ruining our look.
What 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 aging.
But it doesn’t have to be complicated. Once you choose the right products and a smart routine, SPF and makeup work beautifully together.
First things first
Choosing the right base mainly depends on your preference. If you prefer something light, the SPF 50 Skin Shield Drops are ideal: a mineral serum with a light, non-greasy texture and a transparent finish. If you prefer a product that also works well as a primer under your makeup, the High Protection Sunscreen SPF 50 is a great option thanks to its natural tint and pearl-matte finish.
Tip: let this absorb for a few minutes before applying your makeup! This avoids a grainy look.

The Compact Foundation Powder SPF 50 is ideal as the next step in your routine. The velvety soft formula provides an even, natural coverage, subtly mattes, and feels comfortable all day long. This way, your skin not only looks fresh and well-groomed but also stays beautifully protected.
Don't forget your lips
Lips are still surprisingly often forgotten, even though they are especially sensitive to the sun. Especially on days when you spend a lot of time outside, are on the go, or simply enjoy a terrace, protection there is no luxury.
With the SPF 50 Lip Balm and SPF 30 Lip Gloss, you don’t have to choose between protection and a beautiful look. Whether you prefer a nourishing balm with a subtle touch of color or a glossy finish: your lips look great and are protected at the same time.
This way, SPF becomes a natural part of your routine for your lips too.
Refresh
The SPF 50 Sun Brush is the perfect finishing touch after applying your favorite makeup. This self-dosing Sunbrush with loose sun powder offers light, natural coverage and SPF 50 protection against UVA and UVB rays. The brush has adjustable dosing and a lock mode for use on the go.
