These SPF-Packed Makeup Upgrades Will Make You Rethink Your Summer Glam

By Jackie Fields | Beauty & Health Editor at People

Let's face it: SPF-infused makeup isn't always great. Yes, it provides UVA/UVB protection, but makeup application is about so much more, from the way a product glides across your lids, cheeks and lips to the feeling you get โ€” or don't โ€” the seconds, minutes and hours after it's been on your skin.

These editor-tested finds shield your skin from harmful rays (all are SPF 30 or greater) and don't skimp on experience โ€” a win-win for makeup enthusiasts looking for their products to pull double-duty. From an invisible primer to a radiance-boosting setting spray, and everything in between, these sunscreen-infused makeup products will make you reapply because you want to well before you have to.

Primer: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Invisibly Radiant UV Primer.

When it comes to SPF, few brands cover as much ground as Neutrogena. Its new mineral SPF 30 primer, which melts seamlessly into skin, is an essential first step in any makeup regimen. (We also love the radiance-boosting formula for our hands.)

Skin Tint: Versed Skin Solution Multi-Serum Skin Tint SPF 40.

As skin tints grow in popularity, so do their benefits. For Versed's version of the light-coverage complexion product, it boosted its serum-like formula (which comes in 14 flexible shades) with hyaluronic acid โ€” and SPF 40.

Highlighter: Supergoop! Glowscreen Sunlighter Glow & Protect Stick SPF 45.

Supergoop! is always innovating in the SPF space, and its pearlescent SPF 45 stick that can be applied all over or solely on the high points of your face (such as your cheekbones and just above and/or below your brow) gives skin a gorgeous, healthy faux glow.

Blush: Naked Sundays SPF 50 Glow Balm Mineral Peptide Stick.

Blush is booming but none of the best recent launches pulled double duty with SPF until now. Naked Sundays' creamy, Vitamin E-infused SPF 50 balm, which comes in a muted and bold pink, imparts a soft wash of color while sealing in moisture as well.

Tinted Lip Balm: Iris & Romeo Weekend Skin Lip SPF 30.

Since breaking into the beauty industry with its Best Skin Days tinted skincare, Iris & Romeo has become known and loved for its skin/makeup hybrids. Trust us: its lip SPF 30 is as comfortable as they get with absolutely zero scent or flavor, just beautiful coverage color that lasts hours.

Setting Spray: Kopari Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist 50.

When it comes to getting sun-kissed skin, nothing works wonders quite like Kopari's mica-flecked mists and sticks. This SPF 50 setting mist not only locks makeup in place (though you don't need to have on makeup to use it), it hydrates skin with every spritz.

Body Balm: Dolce Glow SPF 50 Body Balm.

Celebrity tan artist Isabel Alysa has been helping her A-list clients get a healthy glow for years. But for her, it's about more than bronzing products. Her latest SPF 50 balm protects skin from the neck down, but true to Alysa's art form, it also leaves a luminous sheen.
