Protect & Correct – Makeup with SPF

SUMMER MAKEUP

Of course, we have all been educated more than ever by now to know not to rely on just our makeup for complete sun protection however, with summer finally (almost!) upon us; we really can’t help but seek out cosmetics that offer an extra line of defence for that peace of mind with every single application.  They are also a great way to top up your sun protection throughout the day – no matter what, you should be reapplying around every two hours when in direct sunlight, however, it’s not always the most convenient thing to be applying a sunscreen lotion on top of a full face of makeup, is it?  

Plus, it’s always a welcome treat to find out that your favourite skin-loving product also offers a surprise bonus of SPF! Here are our favourite makeup products with SPF included.....

Jane Iredale Powder-Me SPF30

Part of the ever-popular Jane Iredale range and now recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, this powder brush is available in a variety of shades to cater to everybody and has a generous SPF30. If you have never tried a powder sunscreen then you must give it a try – they are a game-changer for when reapplying over the top of makeup, on the body, on sensitive skin, and on the go, and we love applying it on our hairline. It is even suitable to be used on children – especially useful for those that hate having traditional sunscreen applied! Powder me is particularly good value for money as you receive both the brush and the refills as part of your order!

Jane Iredale Enlighten Plus Concealer SPF30

An under-eye concealer with sun protection? A product that we have always longed for! The eye contour is ever so sensitive, especially so when it comes to using sunscreen, but also prone to photo-ageing so it’s never been more important to protect and look after it from a young age. It’s just a bonus that the product also conceals and brightens the undereye too. The amazingly cooling, antimicrobial stainless steel applicator feels like a dream – even more so when you are lacking a good night's sleep!

Now, here’s the grand finale to complete your look. Fancy a little pop of colour on your lips? Then opt for a shiny, but not sticky, lip gloss like Hydropeptide  lip glosses   Alternatively, if you’d rather something understated and sheer then Eminence lip balm is your remedy. 

 

Of course, the popular Brush On Block SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen can also be used to top up SPF throughout the day.
