SPF to apply over makeup? (powder, etc)

[raindropstea]

Does anyone have a suggestion for a powder with SPF in it or any kind of SPF product that you can apply OVER your makeup throughout the day? I wear an SPF 30 or 50 under my makeup, but I've been thinking that only applying it once in the morning before I head out is not enough. I think I should be applying SPF again later in the day a few hours apart. What do you do for this? Do you only apply it once and then leave your makeup alone?

I have dryish skin, so I don't use a lot of powder, but I need to find some way to apply SPF again later in the day when I'm out and about.

There is one that springs to mind. Damned if I can remember it though. I think it was aimed at men so perhaps by Peter Thomas Roth (I haven't just made that up, have I? It might be sold at SpaceNK if I do remember rightly.

Chanel Les beiges powder has uva and uvb protection as do some bronzers
SPF 'chemical' creams gave me a false sense of security and now I think it is best not to sunbathe. Most only provide protection for a couple of hours. Your best bet would be to use a zinc oxide formula which lasts longer unless it gets rubbed off.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into the chanel one. I only use a tiny bit of bronzer, so I don't think that would work for me as an adequate amount of SPF to top up. I googled and found a product called Color Science that's a brush on SPF powder. Wondering if anyone here has tried it? I need a powder that doesn't go on cakey or leave dry patches.

Lush do a powder with spf, I think it's called sunshine powder. I used it on my last holiday, it was great.

LRP do an SPF 50facial spray for over make up - it's a bit weird and goes on so finely I'm never sure if it's on my face but I haven't burned so must be doing something. I have to spray by an open window though as it gives off more fumes than spray!!

Jmangel, does it leave your makeup in place after you spray it on? No residue or patchiness?

I have used the garnier moisture bomb spray, it has SPF in it.

I also use Missha aqua sun block

Otherwise lots of people swear by the biore one

Yes it doesn't affect the makeup at all - barely feel anything other than a light mist. Worth a shot.

Oh sounds great! Thanks all :)

The spray sounds great but what does LRP stand for. I googled it and amongst other definitions Urban Dictionary said Long Range Pimping!

Alternatively, could you use one of the all day sunscreens? Boots does an invisible spray that I like.

I use this one: www.bioderma.com/en/our-products/hydrabio/eau-de-soin-spf-30

It works as a setting spray so it's designed to go over makeup.

La Roche face spray as recommended above - it's very light and does not affect your make up at all

Bare Mineals do both a powder sunscreen, and their light powder Mineral Veil has I think about SPF25 either (the colours of their sunscreen were too dark for me so I used the MV one).

Another La Roche Posay factor 50 spray recommendation here - doesn't disturb my makeup at all and it also prevented me from burning on holiday.

Can peeps who use the LRP spray tell me if you end up looking a bit shiny after it? Have been using SP50 for face, but it makes me shiiiiineeeey.

It doesn't make my skin look shiny at all

Good to know seefeld thanks.
