In an effort to prevent UV damage from harmful sun rays this spring and summer, stocking up on sunscreen makeup duos might serve you well. While you’re likely well aware that sunscreen daily is non-negotiable, you might be curious if makeup with SPF is sufficient on its own. Ahead, we sought to answer the question for good, plus a helpful edit of this year’s best makeup products that feature sunscreen.
Best Makeup With SPF
How to Apply Sunscreen Makeup Products
“One of the biggest misconceptions is that makeup with SPF is sufficient for their daily sunscreen,” dermatologist Dr. Chris Tomassian previously told Vogue. “Unless you are using a massive amount of makeup you are not getting the actual value of the sunscreen.” To stay safe, apply your favorite facial sunscreen, then dive into your makeup routine.
Let these products, below, serve as additional UV protection; not to mention, many feature a handful of skin-conditioning ingredients, too—a reason celebrity makeup artist Elizabeth Seropian would recommend them. “Makeup with skin care ingredients can enhance your skin’s appearance, improving texture, tone, and addressing specific concerns,” she explains. “Choose products with these features to promote healthier and more radiant-looking skin while enjoying sun protection.” Read on to discover our favorites.
Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40
- Why We Love It: Of the best tinted moisturizers, Ilia’s skin tint rises to the top year after year and not just for its nourishing ingredient composition known to improve dryness, redness, and fine lines over time. Its serum-like texture feels imperceptible on and blends like a dream; not to mention there are 26 shades to choose from (meaning there’s something for every skin tone). Expect light coverage and a dewy finish.
- Key Ingredients: SPF 40 (non-nano zinc oxide 12%), hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, squalane
- How to Apply: Ilia recommends applying the Super Serum Skin Tint with your hands, just as you would a serum. Don’t be alarmed if it appears lighter at first, give the formula 60 seconds to adjust to its actual shade.
Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm
- Why We Love It: A cream blush is a surefire way to awaken dull skin all year long. So why not give it an SPF boost too—especially if you’re applying it beach or poolside. Across three fruity shades, this provides buildable color to the eyes, lips, or cheeks while providing mineral protection against UV rays and other environmental stressors like blue light and pollution.
- Key Ingredients: SPF 50 (zinc oxide 12.5% and titanium oxide), iron oxides, jojoba esters, plant-based squalane
- How to Apply: Tap the color onto your fingertips or swipe the stick directly onto your skin; then, blend with hands or a brush. Add more to your liking!
BareMinerals Original Foundation SPF 15 Powder Foundation
- Why We Love It: Though this BareMinerals foundation looks like a powder, it blends like a cream to impart a lit-from-within radiance. Available in 30 shades, the formula is buildable, from sheer to full coverage, feels weightless on skin, and even diminishes the look of pores—all great qualities of a summertime pigment.
- Key Ingredients: SPF 15 (zinc oxide 19.6% and titanium dioxide 25%)
- How to Apply: BareMinerals recommends buffing the foundation into skin with a brush until you achieve your desired coverage.
Supergoop! Shimmershade Illuminating Cream Eyeshadow SPF 30
- Why We Love It: We admit that we often forget to apply sunscreen to the delicate eye area. That’s why we’re fans of Supergoop!’s SPF-enriched eyeshadow. It delivers UV and antioxidant protection, while delivering a subtle shimmer across four different shades.
- Key Ingredients: SPF 30 ( zinc oxide 20% and octisalate 5%), sunflower seed oil, jasmine, rose, and chamomille extracts

The medium coverage, buildable powder offers 24 shades to choose from.

- Why We Love It: Eager for a fuller pout? Consider a lip plumper part of your makeup regimen. Dr. Lara Devgan’s clear gloss is enriched with ceramides and other hydrators to enhance lip volume and texture. For a makeup loop, we’d pair this with an everyday lip liner.
