Dolce & Gabbana The Foundation Matte Liquid Foundation, $66
Dolce & Gabbana makes truly beautiful (if pricy) foundations, but the formulas are often too rich for women with oily skin. Well, not anymore. This new version is mattifying, and it'll keep you shine-free all day.

La Prairie Cellular Emulsion Matte Pore Minimizer, $225
This toner-like product does it all. It slows down oil production to keep your skin from getting shiny, it soothes irritation with botanicals, it brightens dark spots with vitamin C, licorice, and algae extract, and it fights fine lines at the same time. Plus, the texture is silky and amazing.

I love dewy skin. It looks pretty and makes me look healthy. But too often, I leave my house with dewy skin and 10 minutes later it's crossed the line into shiny territory -- especially this time of year.

That's where mattifiers come in. Unlike powders, they won't take away your dewiness completely, but they will keep you from getting shiny. Plus, the newest versions do so much more than mattify. From skin care benefits to full-coverage color, they're fantastic multitaskers. Bonus: Just think of all the money you'll save on blotting papers.
