Sunscreen mist for over make up?

Does such a thing exist? How do you reapply suncream throughout the day and still wear make up if out and about all day? Thanks!

That looks fantastic (geddit?). Can you buy it in Boots?

Undethetree · 05/06/2024 18:05

I bought some in Tesco yesterday if that helps? (Not used it yet tho)

I use Ultrasun. It's long lasting so I wouldn't normally need to reapply - see their guidance for how long it lasts.

I wish these things would come in handbag size as well.

Bondi Sands,it's fabulous stuff

Another recommendation for the Garnier one, great value and most importantly works!

itsnothingoriginal · 05/06/2024 19:43

Agree this one doesn't mist very well and it leaves a white cast over my makeup.

I might try the LRP one as I haven't had much luck with any of the over makeup mist sprays and they are a great idea!

purplemunkey · 05/06/2024 19:58

It’s more expensive, but the Ambre Solaire was unusable for me so with the extra!

smooththecat · 05/06/2024 20:00

I have the powder one, it suits me better with oily skin

suburburban · 05/06/2024 20:35

The Garnier one didn't last long either

mdinbc · 05/06/2024 21:17

I like the looks of la Roche Posay one! Sadly I don't see it available in Canada. have you thought of a powder sunscreen? I have one from Eminence that I use as a last step over makeup.

Most liquid foundation contains an SPF.

TheSquareMile · 05/06/2024 21:48

There's actually a brush-on one which might be a suitable alternative for you.

The spf in moisturiser / foundation isn't enough.

Body shop do a good spray, over make up, just don't get it in your eyes!

Can you recommend one please? Also have oily skin which is impossible with suncreen which seems to make my face melt even more!

LimeCookie · 05/06/2024 22:10

I use Vichy Capital Soleil Mattifying 3-in-1 SPF50+ under my make up. And in the day time if I need to top up I use the garnier dry mist spray at a distance

suburburban · 05/06/2024 22:12

I find the Garnier spray effective but it ran out quickly and was relatively expensive

I'm using the Garnier cream sunscreen

Notquitethere60 · 05/06/2024 22:39

La Roche Posay is recommended by dermatologists. Not sure how good the Garnier one is. The mist of the LRP is very fine. Have used is for years.

User170451 · 05/06/2024 22:54

Naked Sundays hydra glow mist. It is expensive but lookfantastic often offer 20% codes

Ihatepineappleonpizza · 05/06/2024 22:56

Still looking for a good one - the Bondi Sands one is incredibly greasy 😭

La Roche Posay do a handbag size anthelios spray

Yes, I have this one and think it’s really good, I forget to use it though. Wish it came in more shades, I’m quite fair but tan easily and it’s on the light side for me. When I used to use a mineral foundation powder as my actual foundation, it would always keep my face from tanning at all so I do think it’s effective.
