The 11 Best Makeup Products With SPF of 2023,

Best Full-Coverage Foundation

IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream With SPF 50+

For quick, flawless coverage and a heaping dose of SPF, check out this catch-all product from IT Cosmetics. This CC Cream offers a full-coverage finish that blurs the look of imperfections and helps even out an uneven skin tone while also boasting SPF 50+ sun protection. It’s buildable, easy to layer, and doesn’t clog pores. Best of all, it contains a load of beneficial ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin E to hydrate and condition the skin during wear. Despite being a cream, it’s not very thick and actually settles beautifully into the skin, giving it a lit-from-within glow without looking cakey. During testing, we found that wears well throughout the day, and although it transfers a tiny bit when using blotting paper or a tissue, it re-sets nicely with powder and setting spray.

It can be hard to find an exact match, but we recommend taking a look at the warm, neutral, and cool undertones to find one that pairs with your skin tone the best.

Best Lightweight Foundation

bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Mineral Foundation SPF 15

Not everyone loves the feeling of a cream foundation. If you’re team powder or simply just like a light touch of product (as opposed to a heavier application), you’ll enjoy this loose powder foundation from bareMinerals. The formula is designed to sit atop your skin and provide SPF 15 sun protection and sheer-to-full (depending on how you build it) coverage with a naturally luminous finish. In just a few swipes of a brush, you can expect pores and imperfections to look less obvious and oily areas like the T-zone to be less shiny. During testing, we noticed that the packaging has a handy locking mechanism that closes the powder off from spilling everywhere—aka a great choice if you’re frequently traveling or prone to messes. The only downside: We found the packaging (plastic wrap with a pull tab) tricky to open upon arrival. Try to utilize scissors or call on someone with extra nimble hands for help.

Best Splurge Foundation

La Mer The Soft Moisture Powder Foundation

At 140 dollars, this foundation from La Mer does cost a pretty penny, but we swear it contains some type of sorcery. Allow us to explain; it goes on like a powder and has the payoff and coverage of a thicker cream while mitigating oiliness. We were so surprised by how little this formula settled into pores during testing. Oftentimes, powders like this one make pores look more obvious, but we were pleased to discover that this had the opposite effect—in fact, it blurred the look of enlarged pores and skin texture. Coverage that doesn’t quit, paired with the fact that it helps curb shininess throughout the day, sold this formula for us. The only caveat: The shade options skew on the lighter end. We wish there were darker options so that those with deeper skin tones could find a more perfect match.

Best Dewey Finish

Dior Dreamskin Fresh & Perfect Cushion Broad Spectrum SPF 50

This light-coverage foundation compact from Dior is radiance you can hold in your hand. All you need is just two or three pats of the subtly pigmented formula to brighten up your complexion and protect your skin from the sun. It’s loaded with SPF 50 and longoza flower, an ingredient renowned for its anti-aging properties, among a whole slew of other ingredients that help disguise the look of an uneven complexion (think: dark spots, enlarged pores, and redness). After testing, we found that skin looked more luminous, smoothed, and dewy, making it the perfect option for those who love a fresh-faced glow. The only downside is that it comes in three shades.

Best Multi-Purpose Foundation

PÜR Cosmetics Classic 4 in 1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation

Lightweight and easy to apply on the go, this pick from PÜR is great for stowing in your bag. Whether you use it as your first round of defense or as a way to re-apply as the day goes on, the mineral sunscreen-based product has a lot to offer. For one, it’s a concealer, foundation, pressed powder, and SPF, so you’re saving some space by keeping this one on hand. Secondly, we found that it does a wonderful job of soaking up oil and adding more sunscreen without an annoying white cast. Best of all, it soaks in right away, so you don’t have to worry about transfer or a powdery finish. Just be aware that some say it can settle into enlarged pores around the nose.

Best Eyeshadow

Supergoop! Shimmershade Illuminating Cream Eyeshadow SPF 30

We’ll be the first to admit that we often forget about protecting our eye skin from the sun. However, give us an eyeshadow with SPF infused into it, and we’ll never forget it again. Say hello to the very first eyeshadow with SPF 30: Supergoop!’s Shimmershade Illuminating Cream Eyeshadow. The creamy formula adds a subtle wash of shimmer across eyelids while simultaneously keeping them protected from harmful UV rays with SPF 30. It contains a unique hybrid of mineral and clean chemical sunscreen actives and blends perfectly across the delicate eyelid skin without creasing, flaking, or fading. During testing, we especially loved how dreamy and finger-friendly it is to use—you just swipe a bit of formula across your lids for a lit-from-within, glowy finish. It feels buttery to the touch and thanks to the super cute little pot packaging, it travels well, too. The only con worth noting is that the three different shade offerings are very natural and don’t have a bold payoff.

Best Blush

Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Color Balm SPF 50

We’re all for a multi-use product, especially if it contains SPF 50 like this one. Highly pigmented and extra creamy, this flush-colored balm from Colorescience can be used to hydrate and protect lips, lids, and cheeks. The all-mineral formula contains zinc oxide, except without the white cast. In fact, each of the three shades—blush, berry, and bronze—is gorgeously pigmented and leaves behind a nice wash of blush or bronzer to warm up the skin. We tried using it in a few ways during testing (swiping it directly onto the skin, using a brush to blend it out, and even dabbing it on with a finger), and we can promise it lays beautifully no matter what. The only caveat: It can be very pigmented, so if you press too hard, the color payoff might be a little too much.

Best Tinted Lip Balm

MDSolarSciences Hydrating Sheer Lip Balm SPF 30

It’s really hard to find a great tinted lip balm in general; when you throw SPF in the mix, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. This pick from MDSolarSciences pleasantly surprised us during testing and ended up coming out on top because of how subtle yet gorgeous it looked on lips. It’s not shiny—so it’s not a great option for those looking for a gloss, but it—and actually coats lips with comfortable hydration that lasts for hours. Not to mention, the color is subtle but lovely nonetheless. There are seven shades to choose from, ranging from clear and an apricot sheer tint called “Bare” to coral pink and ruby red.

Best Plumping Lip Balm

Sunnie Skin Plump It Lips w/ Hyaluronic Acid

If you’re looking for a lip balm to slightly plump and hydrate your lips, you can’t go wrong with the Sunnie Skin Plump It Lips. It contains chemical sunscreen filters, hyaluronic acid, and a proprietary complex of stimulating ingredients to double down on UV rays and dryness. In just a few swipes during testing, we noticed that lips looked softer and more voluptuous. The formula does tingle upon contact with the skin (so if you don’t like that feeling, this one may not be for you), but it does help lips appear more plump and rosy as a result.

Best Glossy Lip Balm

Cay Skin Isle Lip Balm SPF 30 with Sea Moss and Aloe Stem Cells

A lip gloss that doubles as sun protection? Sign us up. This long-lasting formula from Cay Skin leaves a glossy sheen on the lips (in either clear, rose, or berry) that protects, softens, and tastes like vanilla brown sugar. During testing, we found that it compares to top lip oils on the market like the Clarins Lip Oil or the Dior Lip Oil because of how smoothly it goes on. It doesn’t require much reapplication, and even after eating and drinking, lips feel soft and supple. It can feel tacky and sticky (we noticed some flyaway hairs get stuck in the gloss while in the testing lab), but for this amount of shine, we’d say it’s entirely worth it.
