The 13 Best Foundations with SPF for an Extra Layer of Protection
May 20, 2025
Sun protection is having a better year than most. We’ve seen a surplus of SPF pop up in body lotions, lip balms, and even added a few tinted versions to our beauty arsenal. That brings us to the next stop on sunscreen's beauty tour: makeup. If you're a fan of tinted sunscreens, which offer broad spectrum protection with sheer coverage to avoid white casts, the best foundations with sunscreens may be your next best purchase.
“Nowadays, most foundations have sunscreen, and for good reason. The best way to find the right foundation is to color match for the right shade,” explains celebrity makeup artist Brielle Pollara. Foundations that contain SPF add an extra layer of sun protection, although the SPF in foundations don’t provide enough sun protection (two-finger rule, people!). “If your favorite foundation doesn’t have SPF, you can apply SPF first, then follow up with your favorite foundation,” Pollara adds.
Shopping for foundation is already a battle in itself. Add sunscreen to the mix, and now there are additional things to consider, from the SPF number to the added skin care ingredients. Here at ELLE.com, we’re no chemists, but we are experts at sourcing top-notch suncare products. We consulted a celebrity makeup artist, perused ELLE editors’ foundation collections, and pored over dozens of online reviews to bring you the 14 best foundations with sunscreen money can buy.
