Out of all the skincare products out there, sunscreen is the most important. Apart from providing protection against skin cancer, it also prevents premature wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. However, many of us skip applying sunscreen because we just don’t have time! Luckily, there are a few makeup products that come with in-built sun protection to help you get out of the door faster in the morning.
1. Clinique Moisture Surge™ CC Cream Hydrating Colour Corrector Broad Spectrum SPF 30
If you don’t have the patience to go through a multi-step beauty routine, just stock up on this CC cream. The weightless and hydrating formula goes on smoothly to deliver dewy and even-toned skin.
2. Smashbox Photo Finish Protect SPF 20 Primer
With its silky texture and invisible hue, this primer is one of the best ones out there. Use it under your foundation to extend its wear, whilst keeping your skin safe from sun damage.
3. Supergoop Shimmershade
Who knew that eyeshadows came with SPF? These little jars deliver a soft wash of colour and shimmer to the lids, without creasing or flaking. Since the skin around the eyes is thin and delicate, these formulas help slow down any ageing that is caused by the UV rays.
4. MAC Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer
Loved by makeup artists and beauty junkies all around the world, this creamy concealer is a must-have in every kit. The opaque formula covers up all types of skin issues, be it dark circles or zits, whilst controlling sebum production.
5. Maybelline V-Face Contour Blush
Don’t underestimate this palette. Featuring a blush, contouring powder and a highlighter, this handy kit is all you need to get a sculpted look. The sun protection is just a bonus!
6. Estēe Lauder Double Wear Nude
This oil-free foundation is made for our humid climate. With its light-to-medium coverage and satin-like finish, it works beautifully to deliver a natural-looking complexion. If you need more recommendations, here are some other foundations that also contain SPF!
7. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour® Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sheer Tint Sunscreen SPF 15
Lips are often the most forgotten area when it comes to sun protection. This sheer lipstick ensures that your pout stays plush and pretty, whilst guarding it against the UV rays.
Honestly, I would still advise everyone to use sunscreen on a daily basis and think of these makeup products as an additional armour. After all, there’s no such thing as being too safe!
