In summer makeup, one unbeatable makeup product is sunscreen, which many people hate. So how should it be used?

If you’re looking for a healthy summer glow, youthful glow and a natural tan, you should dig out the sun powder. Consider these three points and you cannot fail.
The right composition
Liquid and creamy sunscreens are suitable for many, especially dry, cracked and aged skin. They are easy to apply and fade naturally using just your fingers.
On the other hand, the powder versions are suitable for easily oily and combination skin. With their help, you can also control the shine.
Not all sunscreens are the same, and they are not all suitable for the same purpose. For example, you can conveniently use a matte product to shade your face. Instead, to highlight the face, you should choose a product with a pearl shade and a shimmer. However, sun powder is not a contouring product.
Choose the right shade
The most important thing when choosing a sunscreen is to choose a shade that complements your own skin tone. The sunscreen is supposed to be a couple of degrees darker than your own, natural skin tone. In addition, it is necessary to find a shade that bends in the right direction for your skin, either warm or cool.
Those with a cooler complexion, i.e. those with fair skin and paler skin, should choose a shade that bends a degree towards pink, because too warm make-up shades often look too orange on them. Shades with a warm undertone are suitable for darker and olive-toned hair. Shades with hints of pink can make their skin look gray and lifeless.

If you’re not sure if your skin tone is warm or cool, you can do an easy test. Check the color of your blood vessels on the inside of your wrist. If they are more blue-toned, you have a cool skin tone. Instead, the blood vessels turning green indicate a warm skin tone.
The right distribution tactic
In order to avoid excesses, it is recommended to layer the sunscreen thinly. The product should be added to the highest points of the face. When using sunscreen, the most important thing is to carefully fade the product.

Depending on the composition of the product and your own preferences, you can use either your fingers, a brush or a makeup sponge.
Those who prefer brushes should choose a brush that is as airy as possible, large and sparse: this way the product is spread more evenly and naturally on the face, and the borders are not so striking.
