Best SPF to go under make-up

[Dirtyjellycat]

Can anyone recommend a good SPF as a final step before I apply my makeup? I use a Retinoid so have to use SPF but can’t find one I like. I have one by The Ordinary but it’s a bit chalky looking and one by La Roche Posay but that seems to flake. Any suggestions?

I’m a big fan of Olay Regenerist. It’s a great non-greasy moisturiser base for makeup.

I use an ultra sun one. It has spf, and a pollution shield... I’ll look for a link

Also available in m&s. am really impressed

I use Kiehl’s 50 SPF under Clarins foundation.
It’s very light, but a bit shiny (which I don’t mind, makes me look more youthful)

Biore Watery Essence. It's the only one that doesn't make my eyes water.

Thanks everyone, I didn’t expect many replies to this! I’m going to go and investigate now.

@mrsmaiselsmuff I’m a watery eye person too - though only one eye for some reason. It drives me mad!

Revlon Colorstay Prep & Protect Primer. SPF25. Doesn't make me chalky, has no discernible scent and doesn't make my eyes water (I have this problem too). I think it helps my makeup stay on pretty well. If you are in the UK I don't think you'll need higher SPF than 25 for the winter season.

The body shop one is fab

The La Roche Posay one is brilliant after makeup.

After = under

Heliocare or YSL colour corrector is SPF35

But are the spfs in moisturisers strong enough?

La Roche posey Shaka fluid. Also like biore watery essence

Where do you get biore watery essence from?

I buy mine on amazon. It gets imported from a Japanese store, and they often include a little piece of origami with it!

Biore, lrp melt in cream (better than other lrp sunscreens), dermalogica spf primer or spf50 sunshield, ultrasun face
