Bobbi Brown Instant Confidence Stick, $63.

Adorable name aside, this works like an eraser to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles by plumping skin with peptides. An oil-absorbing powder helps to keep shine in check. It can be applied before or after foundation (even powder ones). Simply swipe it over lines or pores, then tap in product lightly.
