An easy way to reapply sunscreen throughout the day over makeup.
make your own “Sun Pack” for on-the-go easy sunscreen touch-ups.
I always wondered how to reapply sunscreen during the day when I’m already wearing makeup, and now there is finally a simple, easy, solution.
After I watched South Korean Beauty Youtuber UNA Beauty Cloud’s video “How to touch up,” (see link for the vid at the bottom of this post) I was inspired to make my own “sun pack” (the purple compact) for on-the-go sunscreen touch-ups.
Here are the steps: *by una beauty cloud youtube
SPRAY A HYDRATING MIST ONTO SKIN (and over original makeup and sunscreen) FOR PREP— Spray a soothing mist over your makeup. You could use those little Evian bottle misters. I chose an antioxidant mist ampoule with camellia oil.
USE TISSUE TO GENTLY BLOT YOUR SKIN AFTER SPRAYING— This step helps set the facial spray into your skin and prepare a fresh canvas for the sunscreen.
APPLY SUNSCREEN— Apply the sunscreen you used in the morning over your makeup.
USE A MAKEUP POOF TO SMOOTH AND BLOT IN SUNSCREEN— Use a makeup sponge your choice to gently blot sunscreen over your makeup. That’s it!
SEE VISUAL STEPS BELOW:
Spray facial spray over makeup and lightly blot facial spray into the skin using a tissue.
2. Apply sunscreen on top makeup.
3. Smooth and blot sunscreen using a makeup poof or sponge.
4. Smooth and blot sunscreen using a makeup poof or sponge.
HOW TO make YOUR OWN “SUN PACK”
But how can you carry tissue and a makeup sponge around with you every day in an easy, compact and sanitary way? This is where the “SUN PACK” comes in, see steps below.
put together your own “SUN PACK” steps:
Pick a compact with enough space inside to hold a few organic tissues and one make up sponge or poof. (Maybe you already have a spare! I bought mine for $8.99 in Koreatown, Los Angeles.)
Pick a make up sponge with the type of finish you want. For example, a denser and smoother sponge will give a heavier finish, while a lighter sponge will give a lighter finish.
Insert a few organic tissues on one side and one makeup sponge on the other side, and this makes your compact “sun pack.”
If you don’t have a spare compact, organic tissues or flat makeup sponge, consider my suggestions at the very bottom.
visual “Sun Pack” Steps:
All the products needed to reapply sunscreen over makeup. Skin hydrating mist (facial spray), sunscreen, organic tissue, make up sponge, a compact.
STEP 1: A compact that comes with a divider is super helpful to divide the tissues and makeup sponge. This compact came with a poofy sponge (not the finish I want for the sunscreen) so I replaced it with my own denser sponge, which is a non latex makeup sponge.
STEP 2: Insert the organic tissues on one side of the divider.
STEP 3: Insert the makeup sponge on the other side of the divider.
STEP 4: Your “sun pack” is ready to go and throw into your purse! Add your sunscreen and facial spray into your purse, too :)
Here are product suggestions via amazon that work for making your “sun pack”
