Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 ($54)

Editor Quote: "It feels luxurious and creamy whether you apply it with your hands or a brush. And while the coverage is sheer, it can be layered and plays nicely with concealer. You can see that the formula hides patchy discoloration and redness, but it still lets my freckles shine through." — Dawn Davis, former executive director
