Best Gel Moisturizer to Use Under Makeup

Eau Thermale Avène Hydrance Aqua Gel 3-1 Moisturizer ($38)

Makeup artist Daniel Martin, who works with Jessica Alba, Elisabeth Moss, and Meghan Markle (he did her wedding-day makeup), is obsessed with this moisturizer, which he uses as makeup prep. "I love this stuff," Martin says. "It locks down foundation in such a way that it doesn't feel heavy on the skin and the gel cream texture doesn't feel sticky, either."
