Murad

Perfect Skin Essentials Set, $99 ($151 value); nordstrom.com

As soon as we saw the Invisiblur was included in this set, we were sold; so, when we saw two other products were part of the deal, as well, it became a no-brainer.

Add the other two complexion-boosting skin care products to the mix and you have yourself an Add-to-Cart scneario on your hands.

Not only will it guard against the effects of the sun, but it helps control oil and keep makeup in place all day long.
