6 Splendid Makeup Products With Sun Protection

Summer has always been notorious for taking a toll on your skin. From darkening your complexion and causing premature signs of ageing to increase the likelihood of skin cancer, there are multiple adverse repercussions of prolonged exposure to the scorching summer sun. No wonder, sunscreens are considered to be completely indispensable, not just during summer but at every moment your skin comes into contact with the sun's harsh UV rays. 

However, ask anybody who puts on a full face of makeup every morning, the step of applying sunscreen complicates our beauty regimes further. Do we apply a layer before getting to the base makeup? Or do we smear some as a finishing layer to our makeup look? And while we're at it, what do we do about that greasy white sheen left behind? To simplify such questions about using makeup and sunscreen simultaneously, we decided to eliminate the need for 2 separate products altogether. Instead, here's a curated listicle featuring the 7 best makeup products with SPF that'll take care of both your beauty and sun safety needs!

 

1. Revlon Photo Ready 2-Way Powder Foundation SPF 20 

 

This 2-in-1 foundation slash compact product is extremely useful and the additional quality of SPF 20 PA+++ makes it a must-have for your beauty counter. The pressed powder can be used for various purposes, both wet and dry, and it comes infused with a photochromic pigment that reflects and diffuses light, thereby making your skin look brighter, clearer and more radiant. The product delivers medium to full coverage, which looks natural and leaves a matte finish.

But our favourite pick has got to be this non-sticky, ultra-lightweight compact with SPF 40 PA+++. The price point of this product makes it perfect for everyday use, and its powerful ability to ward off the damaging effects of sun exposure only helps the cause further. The formula spreads easily over your face and leaves behind a matt, flawless base.

3. The Body Shop Fresh Nude Tinted Beauty Balm SPF 30 

 

If the idea of slathering on three different products for just the base doesn't sound like you one bit, here's a makeup product you can reach for during summer instead. This tinted beauty balm from The Body Shop works remarkably well to give you a fresh, naturally radiant appearance. The balm can be used for various purposes, from concealing dark spots to serving solely as a base, to contouring with a darker shade. The formula of the product is sweat and transfer-free, while simultaneously being immensely hydrating for your skin. Not to mention, the SPF 30 PA +++ gives you UVA and UVB protection when you step out in the sun!

6. Colorbar Crème Touch Lipstick SPF 15
