Super basic question. This has always baffled me and left me just not bothering with SPF moisturizer, but now that I'm old and smart enough to realize I've been bad for too long and it's time to start. SPF moisturizer is worn under the makeup, but SPF requires reapplication every 60-90 minutes, so how do you wear makeup and SPF together? I know no one is reapplying makeup every hour+. Just thinking about this makes me annoyed and wanting to throw my arms up and say screw it and wear my hat as usual. Heck, by the time I get out of my house after applying, the SPF will be ready for reapplication! Is there something I'm missing here?
Lol that's a very good question! You can always reapply a bit of moisturizer again on top of your makeup after it has set. I do it & it doesn't ruin my makeup :) hope that helped!
