You know you should reapply sunscreen every two hours, but when you’re wearing makeup, the thought of smudging your foundation or ruining your look can be off-putting. The good news: with the right products and technique, you can add a layer of SPF without sacrificing your makeup.

COOLA offers several spray-on sunscreens and mists designed for easy reapplication over makeup. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to touch up your SPF while keeping your makeup intact.

Why Spray Sunscreens Are Your Best Bet

Lotions and sticks can smear makeup or leave streaks. Spray sunscreens, especially fine mists, are the most practical option for reapplication over makeup. They deliver an even layer of protection without requiring you to rub or blend, so your makeup stays put.

When choosing a spray, look for a formula that is lightweight and non-greasy. COOLA’s Face Sunscreen Mist offers SPF 50 protection with a transparent finish, making it ideal for use over makeup. It also contains nourishing plant extracts, so it won’t dry out your skin.

  • Hold the bottle about 6-8 inches from your face to ensure even coverage.
  • Close your eyes and mouth while spraying to avoid irritation.
  • Let the mist dry naturally; don’t rub or blot.

Step-by-Step: Reapplying Sunscreen Over Makeup

  1. Blot excess oil: Use a blotting paper or tissue to gently press on your face, removing excess oil and sweat. This helps the sunscreen adhere better and prevents a shiny look. Don’t rub; blotting preserves your makeup.
  2. Shake the sunscreen mist: Shake the COOLA Face Sunscreen Mist well to ensure the ingredients are mixed. Hold it about 6-8 inches from your face. Check that the nozzle is clean to avoid spitting.
  3. Spray evenly: Close your eyes and mouth, then spray in a sweeping motion across your face. Aim for an even layer without over-saturating any area. Two to three passes should be enough; don’t drench your face.
  4. Let it dry: Allow the mist to dry naturally for a minute. Avoid rubbing or patting, as this can disturb your makeup. If you’re in a hurry, fan your face gently to speed up drying.
  5. Reapply lip protection: Don’t forget your lips! Use a tinted lip balm with SPF like Tinted Liplux Lip Balm Sunscreen to protect and add a subtle tint. Reapply lip balm every few hours, especially after eating or drinking.
