My Top Foundations for Dry Skin

Hey My Loves,

So as promised I'm here with my top foundations for dry skin . So if you read my last blog post on my top foundations for oily skin, you will know I personally have oily skin, but I have tried plenty of foundations which is specifically targeted towards those who has dry skin. Why did I try them, because I am a sucker for foundations and when I see a new one come out I just buy it. haha and that's why I'm always broke.

Again like said before I am not a trained Makeup artist I am self taught so this is just my opinion.

So foundations which you dry girls need to stay clear of is matte foundations, like Estee Lauder Double wear, these kind if foundations will just make you look cakey and dry.

So my top picks are:

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk 

This is a beautiful foundation, as the name suggests it is luminous  which is why when I tried it, it would not stay on my skin what so ever.
For those with dry skin, the finish of this foundation isn't totally shinny its somewhere between shiny and matte.The coverage is sheer to medium and it does leave your skin looking amazing, by giving it a beautiful dewy finish, it a perfect foundation for you guys.

M.A.C Face and Body:

One of MAC's most loved foundations. its a water based foundation so its ideal for dry skin. The finish is dewy and leaves the skin looking perfect. It is a sheer to medium coverage but, it can if you work with it, be built up to a full coverage foundation.
A tip with this foundation, its very runny nearly like water, so if you take a bit of the foundation and rub it between your hands for about 8 - 10 seconds you will see the foundation start to thicken then start to apply it to the skin with your fingers or a very stiff brush.

Diorskin Star

This is an incredible light weight foundation with a radiant finish it has an amazing brightening effect on the skin. The coverage is light to medium coverage and makes your skin still look and feel like skin but at the same time covers blemishes and imperfections. It really is a beautiful foundation.

Nars Sheer Glow

Nars foundations are amazing and Sheer glow is one of their most loved products. Like MAC face & body this foundation is water based, so its quite runny, but its a good thing because it means a little bit of this foundation goes a long way. The finish to this foundation, it is said to be a light to medium coverage but it can be built to a full coverage foundation. Nars sheer glow doesn't leave a dewy finish, it does exactly what it says in the name, it makes the skin glow. Its beautiful.

Guys like I said in my last blog post for a foundation to work on your skin it all rely's on your skincare routine. Everyone needs to have a good skincare routine in order to look after your skin. Once you have that in place you will have no problem finding foundations to match your skin type.

I hope this helped any of you who suffer from dry skin and if you want any further help on primers or skincare products leave a comment below.
