‘Must have’ Garnier SPF that ‘doesn’t affect makeup’ now less than £7 on Amazon
It’s almost officially summer and that means that we will need to give our skin some extra protection from harmful UV rays.
Although we should ideally be using SPF all year round, the potential for any vacations means it becomes even more popular at this time of year. While any will do the job, many beauty buffs will ideally want one that doesn’t ruin their makeup.
Which is exactly where the Garnier SPF Ambre Solaire Super UV Over Makeup Mist comes in handy. With an “ultra light” texture, this spray-style sun protection can has been hailed as “magic” by shoppers who aren’t fans of the thick, greasy texture of sunscreen.
Boasting a very high sun protection of 50+, this SPF can be sprayed under or over your finished makeup as it leaves an “invisible finish” that won’t cause it to smudge. There’s also hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to keep thirsty skin “hydrated” in the summer.
Currently a bestseller on Amazon, this SPF mist has been reduced from £13 to £6.96 – saving shoppers 46 percent. It’s on sale at Boots and Superdrug for £8.67, while Lookfantastic stocks it for £8.71.

With a 4.4 rating based on 5,757 global ratings on Amazon, beauty buffs say the Garnier Ambre Super UV Over Makeup Mist is a “godsend” and a “must have” for when you are wearing makeup during the summer season.
One five-star review read: “Love this stuff. As someone who wears foundation more or less everyday this is a godsend. I can’t believe this hadn’t been made sooner. No longer do I fear my face burning because I cant apply spf over a full face of makeup.
“Doesn’t leave white dots or splotches on the skin, it’s a really fine mist. It does leave your face looking a little dewy, but I just powder afterward to remove the shine as I have oily skin”.

A second positive review read: “Must have for summer. This second time l brought this product. Very easy to use .You don’t need much just a light over face closing your eyes . It protects your skin from the sun while keeping your makeup put. 50 uv use under or over makeup. Really handy size spray.”
Another wrote: “I LOVE this – it sprays over makeup and stops me from going red in the sun – I have super sensitive skin and yet I have no issues with this. Love it but wish it was a bit cheaper.”
