Sunscreen Reapplying After Makeup

SOS!  
Looking for product recommendations for reapplying SPF after a full face of make up. 
I moisturize with SPF right before I put makeup on, but what product I use to reapply after my two hours have been done, and I still want to keep my makeup on? 

I’m wary of using powder SPF products because my skin sometimes will get dry. I don’t want powder to clean to any patches and make it look cakey. 

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you!

@samiequinn a setting spray with SPF is what I use.  I particularly like Vacation Super Spritz SPF 50.  Howevet, this isn't sold at Sephora.

My sister loves that brand, I haven’t tried them yet. Their packaging is super cute though . Thank you for the recommendation!

Powder is my current go to, but I understand why you didn't want it.  I used to use setting sprays, like Ulta's or Kate Somerville. Coola, supergoop and Soleil tojours also have one.

 

COOLA Organic Makeup Setting Spray SPF 30 1.5 oz 

Soleil Toujours Set + Protect Makeup Setting Spray SPF 30 with Hyaluronic Acid 1.7 oz / 50 mL 

Supergoop! Mini (Re) Setting Refreshing Mist SPF 40 1 oz/ 30 mL

I’ve always been interested in trying to Coola brand Thank you for the recommendation!

@samiequinn  When I wear more than brow pencil/gel and lipstick, I use Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA +++ 1.7 oz/ 50 mL and a flat makeup sponge (the kind that come in some powder compacts) to reapply sunscreen over my makeup. I put my usual 2 fingers of sunscreen on the back of my hand. Then I dip the sponge into it and gently press the sunscreen over makeup, starting with places that aren’t covered with blush or eyeshadow. I leave those areas for last so I don’t accidentally spread colorful makeup around my whole face. 

You can do this with other chemical sunscreens. I use Unseen Sunscreen because it has a good primer-like texture that’s easy to control and doesn’t make my face look super shiny afterward. I don’t use mineral or hybrid sunscreen for this because on my skin tone, they require more blending out to prevent white/grey cast. 

This is also the only time I use makeup sponges on my face. 😂 If you don’t have one from a compact (Lancôme always the includes ‘em, and I think Laura Mercier’s loose setting powder still comes with one), you can buy a bag of them from Ulta and probably Target (if you’re in the US). Not sure if Sephora sells them.
