I love the Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Hydra Vizor Mineral SPF 30 Refillable Moisturizer 1.7 oz / 50 mL  and I get it in unscented so it's not irritating for my sensitive skin! @megzdib

Hi @megzdib, my skin leans on the dry side and I've found that these sunscreens have worked beautifully under my makeup (no pilling or flaking), which on most days includes some sort of base product (tinted moisturizer or foundation), concealer and either blush or bronzer, or both. 

Summer Fridays ShadeDrops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen 1.7 oz / 50 mL  - super lightweight, has a serum-like consistency, applies easily, absorbs quickly, mineral sunscreen but does not leave a white cast on my fair-to-light complexion, and is lightly hydrating (thanks to the squalane).

Saint Jane Beauty Luxury Sun Ritual Pore Smoothing Face Sunscreen SPF 30 1.7 oz / 50 mL  - mineral sunscreen, no white cast, glides onto skin easily, has a light tint to it but is invisible once spread onto the skin, gives a nautral finish, hydrating, has a soft, floral scent, and a light blurring effect.

OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 30 1.7 oz / 50 mL  - light, creamy, almost whipped cream like consistency, applies beautifully onto the skin, feels lightly moisturizing, has a mild blurring effect on redness and sun spots, gives a subtle radiance to makeup, has a light orange hue out of the tube but color does not show up once smoothed onto skin and a light, citrus scent. 

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA +++ 1.7 oz/ 50 mL , clear, gel-balm like consistency, chemical sunscreen, goes on effortlessly, unscented.

Thank you @megzdib! If you find something you like and have a chance to do so, I'd love to know what sunscreen works well for you under your makeup (I'm a big fan of sunscreen and am always interested to knowing what performs well for folks), whether it's one of the ones recommended on your post or if you found one another way. I just picked up the Kosas DreamBeam Silicone-Free Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 with Ceramides and Peptides DreamBeam  yesterday and will let you know how that performs after testing it out for a few days. 

I don't know if you are close to a Sephora store, but the Sephora Favorites Sun Safety Kit is a great set of mini (and a couple full size) sunscreens, including a few of the ones I mentioned. These sets have a nice variety of products and are a fab way to test out sunscreen before purchasing a full size. Unfortunately, it's out of stock online at the moment  - not sure if it will come back online during the sale 🤞 It's only available in store - not sure if any of the stores near you have it in stock. If you're interested in the kit, you might want to use the "Buy Online & Pick Up" feature to see if it's available - if it is, I highly recommend calling the store to confirm that the store does carry it. There have been times when it mistakenly shows up as being in store.
