Glowscreen SPF 40 is designed to do double duty as sunscreen and a luminous makeup-prep step. Supergoop! says you can wear it alone or use it as a primer, while its official Drug Facts label describes a pearlescent formula. To use it as sunscreen, apply the labeled amount and follow the sun-protection directions; a small dab used like conventional primer is not a substitute.
Which Supergoop! sunscreen is meant to work like a primer?
It is Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40. The brand positions it as a glowy sunscreen that can be worn on its own or beneath makeup as a primer. The product’s official Drug Facts label describes a lightweight, pearlescent formula.

That makes Glowscreen a plausible primer alternative if you want a luminous finish. It does not mean every complexion or foundation will look the same over it: the available product information does not establish a universal shade match or how it performs with every makeup routine.
How to apply Glowscreen under makeup
Supergoop!’s makeup guidance places sunscreen before makeup. The brand describes Glowscreen as the last skincare step before makeup, so use it after your skincare and before foundation or other complexion products.
#1 Best Overall
- MULTITASKING SUNSCREEN - Supergoop! Glowscreen is a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 40 that helps filter blue light and doubles as a makeup-gripping primer for dewy, glowing skin that isn’t greasy or oily.
- YOUR NEW GLOW-TO - Glowscreen’s hydrating formula perfects skin, giving it a healthy dose of pearlescence and creating a totally dewy base layer for your look.
- GOOD TO GLOW - With hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, and niacinamide, this face sunscreen leaves skin naturally supple and dewy from the inside out. One step, and you’re good to glow.
- POWERFUL INGREDIENTS - Our hydration blend helps boost moisture in the skin, leaving it feeling soft and nourished. Sea lavender provides antioxidant protection, while supporting long-lasting hydration.
- HOW TO APPLY - Apply generously and evenly as the last step in your skincare routine and before makeup.
- Apply Glowscreen generously and evenly 15 minutes before sun exposure, following the Drug Facts label.
- Let it sit as your sunscreen and makeup-prep layer, then apply makeup over it if desired.
- Reapply at least every two hours. If swimming or sweating, use a water-resistant sunscreen, as the label directs.
Because the amount needed for sunscreen protection is more than a typical small primer dab, do not reduce the labeled application just to make it behave like a cosmetic base. Use the current package and Drug Facts label as the final authority if its wording or formula differs.
What to check before choosing it as your primer substitute
- Finish: The brand positions Glowscreen as glowy, and the label describes it as pearlescent. If you prefer a less reflective base, that finish may not suit your look.
- Tint and shade: Check the current product page and package details for shade information, then assess the match for yourself; the available evidence does not establish a match that works for everyone.
- Makeup layering: Whether it works well beneath your foundation depends on the products and application you use. No comparative performance testing is established here.
- Activity: The label says to use a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating. Do not assume Glowscreen itself is water resistant.
