A short YouTube clip (Shereene Idriss) discussing whether makeup that contains SPF provides adequate sun protection. The speaker argues effectiveness depends on the amount of product applied, notes typical application is unlikely to give full-face SPF coverage, suggests it may be acceptable in winter when UV index is below 3, and mentions applying makeup with SPF after eye makeup.

Number two, my makeup has spf and so it should be enough to protect my skin. Debatable in my book because it depends on how much you're using this much of your foundation, expecting it to give you full face coverage. You're gonna get it wrong. Right amount, width, you're going to get enough coverage. Good enough for winter when the UV index is less than 3. And fun fact, I always do this after doing my eye makeup.
