Bioderma Sebium Pore Refiner Cream ($26)

"Choosing a mattifying primer is a must for oily skin types and addressing the T-zone problem, and Bioderma Sebium Pore Refiner Cream is hypoallergenic, paraben-free, and noncomedogenic. Massage it into the face right before applying foundation and see the product quickly absorb, tighten pores, and refine skin texture for smooth makeup base results without greasiness. Bonus: it can help limit blemishes for acne-prone skin types." — Francesca Roman, master makeup artist at the Butterfly Studio Salon in NYC
