Sun cream and make up - help out a novice!

So I just started wearing make up for the first time in November when I turned 30 and dyed my hair. I loved my hair but looked seriously washed out so following advice, I went for bare minerals which I'm using most days and starting to get the hang of.

But after a day in the beach yesterday and getting a little burnt I started to think about sun cream.

How do you use it with powder foundations if you're out and about. Surely just putting the cream on before you do your make up wont last all day?

I'm convinced that there is some answer that I'm missing completely. How do you do it?

Use a tinted sunblock - Roche Posay 50+. It's marvellous.

There's a mineral powder sunblock you can buy, which comes in a little tube with a built in brush, which you can top up with, over your make up. It's by Peter Roth, I think.

See tinted sunblock - I never knew it existed!

I'll check it out and the powder thanks :)

Mac 50 spf primer, keeps the sun from burning you and acts as a primer all at the same time.

But surely it won't last all day notmostpeople?

This is the first time I've really missed my pre make up days Shock
