THE BEST FOUNDATIONS FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE

Darlings, the foundation you choose can make or break a look! The success of your foundation look largely depends on whether the formula is suitable for your skin type. Some foundations will wear beautifully on dry skin but can cause problems for oily or combination skin and vice versa, so knowing your skin type is the secret to choosing the best foundation for you and avoiding any foundation creasing, caking, or separating.

In this guide, I’m sharing my tips and tricks on choosing the perfect foundation for normal, dry, oily, and combination skin types. I’ll also introduce you to my magical foundation collection and give some tips and tricks on which one I think you’ll love the most!

FOUNDATION FOR DRY SKIN

Dry skin types are prone to dry patches, skin redness, and flaking. This can cause problems when applying foundation as skin texture can become rough and chapped which prevents foundation from gliding on smoothly.

What does dry skin need from a foundation?

Hydrating ingredients to rehydrate skin and create a smoother-looking skin texture

Cream or liquid formulas that are emollient and won’t cling to dry patches

Glowy or radiant finishes that illuminate dull-looking skin

Best Dry Skin Foundation

Dry skin is prone to dry patches and flaking, so it’s important to use a hydrating foundation that helps to quench skin with moisture. Using a foundation that’s enriched with hydrating skincare ingredients helps dry skin to look and feel smooth and supple while creating a beautiful base for the rest of your makeup. I like to use dewy and glowy foundations like my Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint hydrating foundation stick on dry skin types because they hydrate the complexion while creating a luminous finish that helps dry, sullen skin to look healthy and full of life.
