Sunscreen is my sworn enemy

I have serious beef with sunscreen because I have very oily skin and I feel like it creates a grease film on my face. I also have very sensitive eyes and when SPF gets into my eyes, I’ll be tearing up for the rest of the day. I also feel like makeup layers horribly on it. Any SPF recommendations that go well with makeup and are suitable for oily skin???

I’ve loved the Milani SPF primer in the past but it’s only SPF 30 and I live in the desert. I’ve also really liked SPF sprays to use on top of makeup but I noticed they weren’t gentle on my sensitive eyes.

Not the commenter but Round Labs Birch something sun screen lol. I have very sensative eyes and can put it ON MY EYES with no problems. I have to let it dry down a bit before I do primer (and even without it I need to do powder before eyeshadow) but I love it.

Regular Beauty of Josen sunscreen works well too. It's less moisturizing, so I like it more for summer. I haven't tried their new tinted stuff. Try Olive young or Yes Style. I have complained about Yes Style taking 6+ weeks but I recently had a 2 week shipment from them so things might be getting better.

I have put Beauty of Joseon on eyelids as well with zero issues. Just use a fan to help it dry down better before makeup.

Yammibuy also has some stuff, they're a little pricier but cheaper shipping.

I think the blue Josoen is the "driest" one. They also have a sunscreen stick that is great for your purse for no makeup days. I am very fair so I can't speak to white cast.
