Oil-free foundation and concealer - If you're really determined to get as much skin coverage as possible and imagine not wearing a drop of foundation or concealer, have no worries. Look for products that specifically say they're oil-free. Look for products with silica, a mineral that reduces shine.

LycoGel's Camouflage ($58 for foundation, $35 for concealer) was developed to use on the most sensitive skin types in the healing process of acne, rosacea, scarring, burns, chemical peels, laser treatment and other cosmetic procedures. Its gel formula allows the skin to breathe as it conceals, never melting or sliding off your face. Lola's Oil Free Creme Foundation ($35) is packed with SPF 8, plus vitamins A, C and E. Victoria's Secret Oil Free Cream-to-Powder foundation ($15) is lightweight and has an SPF 10, while Cargo's liquid foundation ($30) is packaged in a squeeze pouch an dhas an SPF 30. Cover FX ($35)is a full-spectrum UVA/UVB-blocking concealer/foundation that binds to the skin and is water resistant.

Stay-put eyes - Pick non-oil-based products and look for gel and liquid-based formulas. Eye pencils tend to be wax-based and prone to running in humid weather, so look for smudge-proof and water resistant gel and liquid liners.

To ensure your mascara and liner don't rub and smear onto your brow bones, dust the upper eyelids and brow bones with a light pressed powder. Waterproof mascara, a must-have for humid days, becomes notoriously smudgy against the eyelid, so "priming" the upper eye is vital.

There are lots of liquid liners available, from the inexpensive (L'Oreal Extreme Wear Liquid Liner, $7.95) to the quite expensive (Kanebo 38 degree C Silk Performance Liquid Eyeliner. Gel liners are also great to use in the summer heat.

• For a smokier, sultry look try Stilla Smudge Pots ($16) to line upper and lower lids.
  
  
• If you're a fan of a defined line, but don't like the liquid or gel route, there are products that can transform your eye shadow into a liner in seconds. Dip an eyeliner brush in Paula Dorf's Transformer ($17) and then in your favorite shadow, and you have an instant, waterproof liner. Benefit's She Laq ($24) comes with various makeup tools that you coat with the She Laq liquid formula, then dip those tools into shadows, liners, lipsticks, and cheeks and apply. Your makeup will be frozen in place until you remove it with cleanser and warm water.

Stay-put lips and cheeks - If you tend to have very oily skin, a cheek tint will probably work best for you. Cheek tints have long staying power, and you don't need to apply much to the skin; only 2-3 drops on each cheek are enough for the rest of the day.

• If you're normal to dry, powders are a good bet.
  
  
• Cream formulas work best on normal skin, but remember that a light hand is best. Choose a color that will make your cheeks pop without heavy application, and set in place with a light dusting of translucent powder.
  
  
• For your lips, avoid creamy lipsticks. Again, lip tints work well, as do lip pencils. If you're attached to your favorite lipstick, look for a lip sealant, but remember to blot before applying the sealant over your lipstick.

Benetint for cheeks ($26) is an all-time favorite among makeup artists for a cheek tint that has staying power, as is Lorac's Lip/Cheek sheer wash ($17.50). Jouer Creme Blush and Lipsticks ($18 each) are sheer and can be layered. Pixi's hydrant duo ($38)combines a sheer tinted SPF 20 moisturizer in a tube, and a lip and cheek tint in a bullet-tipped applicator that serves as the cap to the moisturizer tube. If you are not willing to toss aside your lipstick for the summer, try Sephora's Lipstick Sealant ($15). And Lancome's Le Lipstique lip liner and brush gives you the staying power of lip liner with the look of lipstick.

Shine controllers - Shine controlling papers and gels are vital for almost any woman to carry around. If you want a no-muss, no-fuss solution to shine, use the blotting papers; if you're shinier than most and want a product to obliterate any sign of shine, try a gel.

• Some blotting papers are very basic. Paul + Joe blotting sheets come in a wallet-style dispenser, as do Victoria Secret's blotting sheets. fancier. Oil-control rolls are like paper toweling, you can rip off a piece of it when you need it. Napoleon's Voila! Oil Control Roll ($14) and Trish McEvoy's Oil Control Paper ($13) are two popular roll-styles. Biore Shine Control blotting sheets ($5.99) also deposit powder onto the skin to help set makeup and maintain a shine-free look.
  
  
• Biore has a Shine-Control moisturizer ($5.99) that leaves skin looking smooth and matte looking. The hottest product in the gel realm is Lancôme's Pure Focus T-Zone Instant Mattifying Gel ($26) a "powder gel" that can be used under or over makeup to combat shininess or to touch up makeup.
