Ace Your Base... "Most foundations are made for women with normal skin and are geared more towards being long-wearing than moisturizing," explains Sotomayor. First and foremost, stick with liquid or cream formulas and pass on powders. Then, look for ones labeled as moisturizing or hydrating (steer clear of those made for oily or combination skin, as they'll have the opposite effect, he cautions).

Two that fit the bill: The new Merle Norman Timeless Illuminating Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 30, $28 and Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation, $44.
