WWD editors tested and ranked five sunscreens built specifically to sit under makeup rather than compete with it, the kind of quiet homework that matters most in places where sun is a year-round condition rather than a season. The lineup spans both tinted and transparent formulas, chosen to work across the full range of skin tones and skin types. In a climate like ours, that base coat does as much work as anything applied after it.

With reporting from WWD.
