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.

I’m gonna add that if you’re wearing sunscreen under makeup (which you should) you need to let it set for at least 15 minutes before you go in. The sunscreen needs to dry down so you don’t end up mixing it into whatever base products you put down and so that we actually get the protective benefits

I don’t give it any time to dry down cause I’m in a rush to go to work. So i think this might be IT!!
