I always struggle with reapplying sunscreen over my makeup.

Reapplying sunscreen is always a dilemma for me when going out in the summer. I worry that applying it directly over my makeup will ruin my base, but if I skip it, my skin tans too quickly. I’m especially curious about the cleanest way to reapply sunscreen when wearing foundation or cushion. I’ve heard that patting it on with a puff works, but when I actually tried it, it often clumped or looked patchy. I’m wondering if spraying a mist first and then layering a small amount of sunscreen on top is effective, or if using a sun stick would be better. What tips do you use when reapplying sunscreen over makeup? Please share any methods that allow me to maintain my complexion while ensuring effective UV protection.
