What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly champion this sunscreen, particularly for its performance under makeup. The standout consensus is that it doesn't pill, applies smoothly, and plays nicely with foundation while maintaining a natural finish. Reviewers praise its lightweight texture, hydrating ingredients, and minimal white cast. One note: one dermatologist mentions it can feel drying on its own and recommends layering with moisturizer, but this doesn't dampen the overall enthusiasm.

"The Summer Fridays Shade Drops SPF 30 is a mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide. It does have a little bit of a white cast but it's not terribly so. It smooths in the skin really nicely and feels nice. Once it soaks in it has a little bit of reflectiveness but once you apply foundation over it it really is nice. We've got lots of nice hydrate ingredients, we've got glycerin in here, we've got shea butter, vitamin E, no scent to it. Really nice product."

"I also went in with my Summer Fridays Shade Drops Mineral Milk Sunscreen. This is my favorite sunscreen, especially under makeup. Sunscreen is a hit or miss for me when it comes to going under makeup because I find that a lot of sunscreens can pill underneath makeup. This one I've never had a bad experience with. I feel like it definitely prepped the skin."

"The Summer Fridays Shade Drops SPF 30 is a zinc-based non-water resistant sunscreen that comes out as a very thin liquidy milk and I just love how lightweight it is. I do like to wear a moisturizer underneath because it can be pretty drying if worn on its own, but I really love how it rubs into the skin. The finish on this is quite natural so you're not really dewy or glossy but it's also not a matte finish, and that's why I like it because you can kind of wear it on its own, you could wear it under makeup which I do a lot, and it's actually pretty easy to reapply and that's pretty hard to find in a mineral sunscreen."
