3Lab Aqua BB, $100, does the miraculous: It provides heavy-duty coverage and moisture without making you feel like you dipped your face in a vat of coconut oil. The velvety formula sets to a dewy, but not shiny, finish that stays put all day long. It's infused with rosewater, which, in addition to sounding fancy, keeps skin hydrated.

Pur Minerals Air Perfection CC Cushion Compact Foundation, $43, isn't technically a BB cream, but a lightweight, mousse foundation. The application, however, is the same: Dab the sponge onto the compact and then gently pat into skin. Even though it dries to a semi-matte formula, it doesn't draw attention to dry patches thanks to superhydrating Brazilian babassu oil.
