You’re out, your makeup is perfect, and the sun is brutal. Reapplying sunscreen feels impossible.
The real issue? Most SPFs pill, streak, or leave a greasy film that melts your foundation. So you skip it. Bad move.
Enter Supergoop!’s Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40. It’s $38. I tried it because they claim it’s a “makeup-gripping primer.” Skeptical, but intrigued.
Truly Invisible
Zero white cast—on anyone.
Makeup Primer Base
It’s silicone-based, so makeup glides over it.
Reapplication Friendly
The key feature. Layers over itself—and your makeup—without disturbance.

It’s a chemical sunscreen. The filters are modern and broad-spectrum. The real magic is in the texture agents.
- Red Algae: Helps protect against blue light.
- Frankincense: A soothing extract, not just a fancy name.
- Meadowfoam Seed Oil: Gives that velvety slip.
- Dimethicone: The silicone that creates the primer effect.

It feels like a blurring primer. Slick, then dry-touch in 15 seconds. Not sticky. Not dewy. Just smooth.
After two weeks, the surprise? I started using it as my morning primer, too. One less step. Genius.

My makeup lasted longer. No new sunspots. But it’s not moisturizing—dry skin needs cream underneath.

It solves a very specific, annoying problem perfectly. That’s rare.
