Sunscreen or primer first?

What order do you apply your sunscreen and primer?

I’m currently using the FAB coconut smoothie primer (sometimes another one I have on hand), Coola matte tinted B.B.,  and the milk makeup blur stick in my tzone in this order... is that a weird order to use sunscreen and primer 🤔

@mmmiu I always use sunscreen and then primer

@TrysBeautyItems @figureskater007 Thanks for your input! I’m gonna switch it up tomorrow and apply the sunscreen first... maybe it’ll take my base makeup from 100% to 110% 🤗

Re: Sunscreen or primer first?

@mmmiu Some spfs are made to act as primers. 

 

Moisturizer->spf->primer->makeup

 

Can skip the primer step as needed.

 

Is Coola your only spf, rather than a standalone? Standalone is before primer, Bb is makeup. However, you're probably  not applying enough of Coola to get a beneficial amount of spf product, as the ratio is unknown when it's in another product.

Re: Sunscreen or primer first?

@mmmiu I've always thought of sunscreen as part of skincare and primer as part of makeup, so definitely sunscreen first - so that it can soak into the skin and give you all the good benefits.
