Foundation Primer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15

This foundation primer has a silky texture that slips over skin easily and leaves a matte finish, which is a good prep for a smooth and lasting foundation application. As a bonus, it contains sunscreen that includes stabilized avobenzone for reliable UVA (think anti-aging) protection.

The formula does not include fragrance or other irritants, but unfortunately, it also lacks skin-beneficial ingredients. To be considered a Best Product, a foundation primer should offer added benefit for the skin in the form of cell-communicating ingredients, antioxidants, or skin-identical ingredients. If it doesn’t, you should check out one of our matte-finish Best Serums; they may not be called primers, but they work the same and are better formulated than this one.

Pros:

Silky texture glides across skin.

Matte finish properly “primes” for foundation application.

Provides broad-spectrum sun protection.

Doesn’t change the shade or intensity of makeup applied over it.

Reasonably priced.

Fragrance-free.
