Rain or shine, sunblock is a must. But it can be a pain to search for one that has the right consistency to go under your makeup. The last thing you want is for your sunblock to be the cause of your mid-day makeup meltdown, leaving you with a patchy, greasy face. These eight foundations and tinted creams have built-in SPF protection to keep you safe from UV rays.

 

1. Rimmel London 25h Breathable Foundation SPF 20

Wearing your foundation for long periods of time often leaves your skin looking patchy, clog your pores and cause breakouts. But the Rimmel London 25h Breathable Foundation is so lightweight that you won’t feel it on your skin. Its spreadability allows smooth and even application to give you flawless coverage that lasts up to 24 hours. Despite its thin and liquid-like consistency, you can still achieve up to medium coverage to hide those blemishes.
