Say YES to SPF makeup

By: Finency Anggreni Setioyuwono

“Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... “

Summer sun is finally approaching and we need to start being proactive in incorporating sunscreen to our daily routines. Although it is advised to wear sunscreen daily, the truth is most people don’t. Unless you’re going to go to the beach, it can be very inconvenient to put sunscreen on under your makeup – because it can make you look very oily.

If you still hesitate to use actual sunscreen daily, why not get some protection from your makeup? Many products carry SPF, and although they aren't meant to replace the use of sunscreen, they are definitely worth investing in.

“At this point, there’s no excuse for not using a product with sunscreen—cosmetic companies have gotten so savvy, most formulas have at least SPF 15,” says dermatologist Elizabeth Tanzi, MD

Let's start by choosing SPF to be put on the base of our face. NARS Primer with SPF 20 is the perfect choice because it create a perfect canvas for natural-looking and long-lasting foundation application.
