This Stuff Is Magic!

Fix any skin issue with these easy solutions.

Fix It! Redness

Smooth on a cream-to-powder compact foundation, such as Prescriptives AnyWear Multi-Finish Powder Foundation SPF 12, $32.50, prescriptives.com. Micronized pigment spheres form a veil over skin, lightly diffusing redness and spider veins.

Fix It! Dry Patches

Infuse moisture with a rich cream formula like L'Oreal Paris Age Skin-Support Perfect Makeup SPF 12, $16.59, drugstore.com. Intensely hydrating ingredients, including water, keep skin dewy, plus collagen and peptides will help plump up deeper layers.

Fix It! Fine Lines

Light-diffusing ingredients, like the ultra-fine pearls in Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Cream Foundation, $9, maybelline.com, help create the illusion of a smoother surface.

Fix It! Visible Pores

Apply a product that contains a mix of oil-absorbing powders plus pigment, such as Shiseido The Makeup Dual Balancing Foundation SPF 17, $35, Nordstrom.com. The combination minimizes shine in oily areas, so skin takes on a finer texture.

Fix It! Dark Spots

Brush on a mineral-powder foundation like Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Foundation, $12.25, ulta.com. Titanium dioxide covers freckles and evens out undereye circles without looking opaque or masky. Plus, it naturally blocks the sun's rays to prevent new hyperpigmentation from forming.
