1. Prime Your Canvas

Forget multistep routines; try Estée Lauder Daywear BB Multi-Perfecting Beauty Benefit Creme SPF 35 ($45, Estée Lauder counters, thebay.com). A combination of moisturizer, primer, sheer foundation and sunscreen, it also has a touch of shine control.

2. Define Your Brows

They help frame your face, so you can use less eye makeup. Fill in sparse areas with a Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Brow Colour pen ($27, Shoppers Drug Mart, sephora.com) which comes in Light (for blondes to light brunettes) and Medium (for medium to dark brunettes).
