Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to wait 5 to 10 minutes after applying sunscreen before applying foundation, and then perform subsequent makeup. Different sunscreens have different film-forming times. It is best to choose the waiting time based on the specific film-forming time of the sunscreen.

Wait a few minutes before applying makeup after applying sunscreen

Do not put on makeup immediately after applying sunscreen, otherwise subsequent cosmetics applied to the face may affect the effectiveness of the sunscreen.

However, the film-forming time of different sunscreens is different. It is best to wait until the sunscreen forms a film before proceeding with subsequent makeup work. It is best to wait for about 15 minutes after applying sunscreen and then put on makeup.

Film-forming time of sunscreen

Different sunscreens have different film-forming times. If we want to put on makeup, it is best to choose a sunscreen with a fast film-forming time. Many sunscreens can form a film in just 5 minutes. After applying sunscreen, wait another 5 minutes. If a thin film has formed on your face, it means that the sunscreen applied on your face has formed a film. At this time, you can rest assured to put on makeup, and the sunscreen after film formation can also have a certain concealing effect.
