Makeup Artists Say These Foundations Are Best for Dry Skin
Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation ($69)
“This celebrity must-have is one you want to splurge on if you have dry skin.It has a lightweight, yet buildable texture and leaves a silky, flawless finish.This foundation acts as a primer and foundation in one.It offers medium coverage, which you can easily build upon depending on your needs, and it never clings to dry patches on the skin.”
—Makeup artist Alexa Persico
“This is one of my classic favorites.It’s a liquid formula, has a buildable, medium coverage, and gives you a flawless, healthy glow.”
—Celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg
“When it comes to dry skin and foundation, I first think we need to tackle which skin care is being layered under the coverage.A great serum and moisturizer combo can make almost any foundation sit and look better on the skin.Some serums I love include Saint Jane Luxury Beauty Serum and Bioeffect EGF Power Cream — Epicuren Ultra Rose Treat Enzyme Moisturizer is a great choice too.
The best glow can always be achieved by using Armani Luminous Silk.
It’s still the best for any skin type, including dry skin, and I love the color range.It can also be layered for more opaque coverage or worn sparingly for a sheer wash.“
—Celebrity makeup artist Molly Stern
“This foundation is buildable with a natural finish and does a great job at blurring imperfections.While it isn’t budget-friendly, it is a great foundation! Again, I love to use a sponge with this.
For dry skin, I find a sponge or fingers almost always beat out a brush!”
—Makeup artist Dakota Alexandra.
