Our top pick overall was the Supergoop!
Powder and solid formulas are great for oily and acne-prone skin as they help absorb excess oil.

In short, yes, you’re free to wear a tinted sunscreen with makeup.
If youre wearing it under makeup, apply your tinted sunscreen first and then add your foundation on top.
How often should you reapply tinted sunscreen?

Tinted sunscreens should be reapplied as often as non-tinted sunscreen, Dr. Engelman says.
The general rule of thumb is to reapply every hour and more frequently if you are sweating or swimming.
We chose formulas that matched our respective skin tones and were free of pore-clogging ingredients like oils.

The coverage is light but buildable, and the color match is literal perfection.
I didnt have to reapply it and it gave me a natural glow without looking too shiny.
The formula is simply dreamy to the touch and glides effortlessly onto skin with little blending required.

It also played really well with my concealer, blush, and bronzer.
It also really holds up to its mattifying claims.
I wore this out to a wedding on the beach in 84-degree Florida (with no shade!)

and it didnt slip or sweat off.
I didnt have any sensitivity or burns after the long hot day in the sun.
This will become my new everyday tinted sunscreen for summer.

This tinted sunscreen is super lightweight and matches my skin tone perfectly.
I would honestly wear this as a foundation.
It didnt leave any white residue that sunblocks containing zinc usually leave.

It also contains zinc oxide, which will protect skin from UVA/UVB damage.
No one wants to trade sun protection for an ashy finish.
But this tinted formula completely won me over.

Not only does it protect my skin, but it also leaves a beautiful, healthy glow.
No chalkiness, no weird cast, just radiant skin.
If you love a skin care routine that doubles as makeup, this sunscreen is definitely worth a try.

The powder itself is very finely milled and immediately mattified my skin after app.
I did apply this twice during my eight-hour workday but found that it generally kept me grease- and shine-free.
But this one does it perfectly.
