Is it a good idea? Should I put on sun screen then put on foundation or mix them before applying?

I think put sunscreen on then liquid foundation

I'd say mix them together, just make sure it's not a sunscreen that will make you look greasy. Good luck 😋

I would apply it before by pressing it into the skin, wait a few minutes for it to absorb and then apply the foundation

I'd apply it before, the sunscreen could make the colour of your foundation lighter

I would apply sunscreen before foundation and let it sit for a bit. the consistency and coverage of your foundation will change a bit... unless thats what you want:P.

I don't think its a good idea. why apply sunscreen when the foundation has spf? if your foundation doesn't have spf then apply sunscreen first, let it sit for at least 5 mins so it can absorb into your skin THEN apply foundation.

No, absolutely not. Unless you don't mind the rating of your SPF to decrease.. mixing them is not a good idea.
Sunscreen is never meant to be mixed and any good skin care professional worth their money will tell you that.
