Protect & Correct – Makeup with SPF

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!

 

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Colour Balm SPF50

Yes, your lips need sun protection too. So, hands up who loves a makeup multi-tasker?! Originally formulated to be used purely as a lip balm, avid users of the balm soon got creative and began using them on other areas of their body too like the cheeks, eyelids and décolleté and realised how versatile they really were while also adding an extra dose of sun protection at the same time. You can pick from a wonderful variety of colours dependent on whether you want a bold statement colour, something more subtle or copy our other customers and mix multiple shades together to create your very own custom shade! We are obsessed with shade Berry.

 

Heliocare 360˚ Colour Cushion Compact SPF50

A lovely hybrid product between a foundation and a tinted moisturiser, this compact comes pre-loaded with the product so that all you need to do is swipe & go! It blends easily into the complexion leaving a soft, even coverage while also laden with both SPF50 and anti-oxidants such as Vitamin C, E and Green Tea Extracts which help towards giving you the best protection possible and improving your skin with every use. It neatly slots into your handbag so you can easily touch it up throughout the day, too, if you wish. Plus, it’s vegan!

 

delilah Time Frame Future Resist Foundation SPF20

Now, imagine the texture and hydration of a tinted moisturiser but yet the coverage of a foundation and that is what you’re dealing with here. It is ultra-flattering on the skin. It feels lightweight, so easy to apply (regardless of your makeup ability!), and has the added bonus of sun protection as well. Designed within a tube and dispensed out of a pump, it is perfect for travelling as there is no delicate glass bottle at risk of smashing to carry around. Just flawless-like skin every time.

 

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 Colorescience Lip Shine SPF35 to not only brighten your complexion but also soften, plump and protect your delicate lip area. Alternatively, if you’d rather something understated and sheer then the brand new launch from iS CLINICAL - LiProtect SPF35 is your remedy. They are both brilliant products and contain a higher sunscreen than what you would usually find in a lip product.

 

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