Dry Skin Foundation: Basics 

Us girlies with dry skin are blessed, because we don’t have to mask large pores, acne breakouts or excess sebum like girls with oily skin. You don’t need to care too much about blurring and mattifying your skin either or very long-lasting foundation for dry skin. Did you know that dry skin holds makeup better than any other skin type? 

But what to look for in a foundation for dry skin? Of course, your skin requires extra hydration that you can take not only from moisturiser but from foundation, too. Another important thing to remember, especially if you do full coverage foundation for dry skin, is to look for liquid and smooth textures with a dewy finish.

How to Apply Foundation on Dry Skin 

Start by cleansing your face with a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove any dirt or excess oil. Following up with a moisturiser is the way to preventing flaky foundation. Allow the moisturizer to fully absorb into your skin before applying the foundation. 

For liquid or cream foundations, use a damp makeup sponge or a dense, synthetic brush to apply all over your face. 

Start by applying a small amount of a hydrating foundation onto the center of your face and blend outwards towards the hairline and jawline. Use gentle tapping or stippling motions to ensure even coverage without exacerbating dryness. 

If you need additional coverage, layer the foundation gradually instead of applying a thick layer all at once. This technique helps to avoid cakey or heavy-looking makeup. 

Once your makeup is complete, spritz a hydrating facial mist over your face to lock in moisture and give your skin a fresh, dewy finish. 

Tips to Prevent Foundation from Flaking on Dry Skin 

Exfoliate Regularly: Exfoliate once a week to remove dead skin cells as it will give you a smoother texture. 

Hydrate Your Skin: Prioritize moisturising your skin both morning and night with a rich, hydrating moisturizer to create that smooth canvas for makeup application. 

Avoid Over-Powdering: Limit the use of setting powders, especially in areas prone to dryness, to prevent the foundation from clinging to dry patches and appearing flaky. 

Patting Motion: Instead of rubbing or buffing the foundation over dry patches, gently pat as it is a great even coverage technique. This prevents the foundation from emphasizing the dry texture of your skin.

FAQs about Top Foundations for Dry Skin

Q1. How to choose a foundation for dry skin in winter?  

Dry skin type is the most prone to damage and irritation during winter. Stick to liquid or cream foundations but the richer the better. If it has hyaluronic acid or glycerin, your skin will thank you for it. 

Q2. How to pick the best foundation for dry skin in summer?  

Use foundations that mention that they moisturise. This will avoid dehydration during the hot summers. To reduce the cakey or flakey effect, go for lightweight textures. Finally, if the foundation has SPF, that’s a bonus. 

Q3. What foundation texture is the best for dry skin?  

If your skin lacks hydration, you should avoid dry powder, hard textured or stick foundation for dry skin. Though you can always add a moisturiser to dry textures, it’s better to choose creamy and liquid foundations with a smooth texture and dewy finish.
