Having dry skin can be a constant battle, as you are left with fine lines, flaking, patches, cakeyness and redness. If you are using the wrong foundation, your skin will not only become dryer but you will face bigger skin problems. This is why it is so important to choose products that are suited for your skin type!
What is dry skin?
Dry skin is a lack of naturally produced sebum. There are many causes of dry skin; the most common causes are age and climate.
How can I tell if I have dry skin?
- having a tight feel to your skin, especially when you wake up in the morning.
- a dull complexion
- fine lines which are constantly visible
- constant flaking
The best foundations for dry skin:
1. Mac Mineralize Moisture Foundation:
This foundation gives a healthy and dewy look to the skin which is a must for those with dry skin. It has a lightweight feel to the skin. It provides light to medium coverage, it is build-able and super easy to apply! The only disclaimer is that it can seep into pores which is why a solid primer is needed.
2. Smashbox Studio Skin Hydrating Foundation:
This foundation is medium to full coverage, it covers everything without getting cakey and one pump goes a long way. The finish is beautiful, it gives a glowy and healthy look to the skin which helps one to look wide awake and healthy.

3. Mac Face and Body Foundation:
This foundation is not only perfect for dry skin, but it is great for those who don't want a full coverage foundation. It is a very lightweight foundation that evens - out your skin and gives a beautiful natural finish.
4. LA Girl Pro Coverage Foundation:
I have always struggled finding a drugstore foundation that hydrated my skin and that didn't make my skin flake. This foundation exceeds all my expectations and it is great for those who are on a budget. This foundation is SO hydrating and dewy, and I love how it doesn't make me feel like I am wearing any foundation.
How to choose the right foundation:
- Never pick a powder foundation. Always pick a liquid or stick foundation if you have dry skin.
- read the ingredients. For example, if you have acne prone skin choose a foundation that contains zit- fighting salicylic acid. If you have dry flaking skin, choose a foundation that contains serum-infused products- this will keep your skin hydrated.
- decide what coverage you want: light, medium or full coverage.
