Buy It: $60; bobbibrowncosmetics.com

Our beauty editor confirmed it—this balm is the ultimate moisturizing multitasker. Thicker and more hydrating than some more sheer formulas, this miracle in a jar can stand in as a primer, moisturizer, foundation, and concealer. Although it’s great for hot summer days when you want to go light on makeup, it will keep you moisturized during the dry winter months, too.
