While some makeup primers feel too sticky to apply with fingers, as I do with my sunscreen, none of these SPF-infused offerings feel tacky at all. Since I already applied sunscreen before using them, one or two pumps of primer were more than enough to prep my skin for foundation. And if you’re concerned about a white cast — a common gripe with many mineral sunscreens — not to worry: Many makeup primers use chemical UV filters, which go on clear and won’t leave a trace of ghostly pallor behind, nor will they interfere with makeup. In Ciele’s case, which uses mineral oxide UV filters, the added tint helps offset any unwanted effects.
