5 Sunscreens to Wear Under Your Makeup

SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30

We love this sunscreen’s glowy finish — it’s almost like applying a liquid highlighter before your makeup. Infused with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, it’s also super hydrating and can even out your skin while protecting against sun damage with broad-spectrum SPF 30.

Garnier Green Labs Pinea-C Brightening Serum Cream SPF 30

Talk about a multitasker! This is a brightening vitamin C serum, lightweight moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen in one. It’s oil-free and non-comedogenic, so it’s easy to pair with any foundation, tinted moisturizer or CC cream of your choice.

Black Girl Sunscreen SPF 30

If you have dark skin and are sick of covering up the pale cast sunscreen leaves on your face with foundation, reach for this vegan, cruelty-free option. Broad-spectrum SPF 30 is infused with avocado and jojoba oils to deeply nourish skin.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral SPF Moisturizer With Hyaluronic Acid 

Hydrate and protect your skin at the same time with this soothing mineral sunscreen. While it works for all skin types, the dermatologist-tested, hyaluronic acid-infused formula is a particularly good choice for those with sensitive and dry skin.

CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen Face Sheer Tint SPF 30

This lightweight, non-greasy sunscreen has a sheer tint that allows you to get away with applying less makeup on top — though it won’t crease or pill if you pile more on. It has protective ceramides to coat the skin’s barrier and niacinamide to brighten and soothe.
