10 Spf-Infused Makeup For Sunstruck Beauties

The sun’s come out to play, but we’re not about to play with our makeup – summer’s scorching arrival means we need to up our makeup game so we can stay pretty but protected. For us, the key is lightweight formulations with heavyweight protection

These double-duty, SPF-infused makeup wonders are already in our cart, and we’re about to tell you why they should be in yours. Not only are these lightweight, but they are also super buildable with a high coverage. They spread easily and protect it from the harsh UV rays. Unlike winter makeup essentials that are high on hydration, these essentials are less oily and more matte. So, without further ado, let’s look at some products that need to be in your summer vanity before we enter the dead of heat.

Why Should Summer Makeup Have SPF

There are a few obvious reasons as to why your summer makeup should have SPF, but more often than not, it is forgotten.

1. Extra Sun Protection:

   Even though you have to wear sunscreen underneath, before you head out, some extra protection during the summer season does you no harm. SPF-infused makeup gives you broad-spectrum protection and protects you from UVA, UVB, and blue light rays.

2. Convenient:

   When your makeup also has SPF protection, you need not worry about safeguarding your skin because the products will do it for you. Rest assured, and enjoy your tropical vacation or summer strolls with all the glow and no damage.

3. Easy Reapplication:

   When you only use sunscreen in the form of skincare, reapplying SPF can get difficult. Although there are sunscreen sticks and sprays you can opt for, if you don’t want your makeup to budge at all, then an SPF-infused setting powder or a blush can help you touch up your makeup, and retouch the sun protection.

Parting Thoughts

SPF-infused makeup sounds like a lot and greasy for the humid weather, but in fact, it’s lightweight and buildable, keeping the summer skin in mind. These products add a layer of sun protection, also making reapplication a breeze. If you are not looking to completely change your makeup vanity for the summer, we recommend carrying a matte cushion compact and a lip balm that works against the sun to protect you from the harsh summer UV rays.
