Reapplying face SPF during the day when wearing makeup

What do you do? On sunny days like today I feel I should reapply during the day but I don't want to redo my whole makeup.

Why would you need to? Assuming you are wearing make up because you are at work, surely it isn't necessary?
And if you are just at home why would you be wearing make up anyway?

Can't you just buy a foundation that contains a high SPF?

You could use a spray, there were a few choices in Boots, I think L'oreal do them.

Bare Minerals do a powder sunscreen that can be applied over make up.

I've got a Bioderma spf 50 spray which I use over make up on holiday or on very hot days here. It's good but does leave a bit of shine. I use spf 50 under my make up every day too.

You can't just use a foundation with a high SPF. You wouldn't use enough of it to get sufficient protection.

Only option is to get a spray version of SPF and this can go over the make-up or reapply the SPF and yes ruin your makeup.

I've forsaken foundation now and reapply SPF twice a day. My dermatologist actually says apply three time a day if you look at your phone in the evening.

Ultrasun facial sunscreen. Anti-aging and available in spf 30 or 50 depending on your preference. And most importantly it’s once a day so no need to reapply. I burn pretty easily and it even works for spring skiing.
