Properly Applying Foundation on Dry Skin
Aside from selecting the right product, you’ll also want to know how to set your skin up for success when dealing with dry skin. The process begins well before you even consider adding foundation to the mix, so let’s look at the steps you need to take to get the most out of your new makeup.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating once or twice a week gets rid of all the dry flakes from your face, creating a smooth blank canvas for you to apply your makeup on. To exfoliate, use a mild scrub, gently applying it to your skin. For the maximum benefit, focus on problem areas. While these will depend on your own personal skin situation, oftentimes problem areas occur near the nose, chin, and between the eyebrows.
Moisturize
Having an exfoliated and moisturised face is the key to hydrated skin. To achieve the best results, use a moisturiser that works deep into your skin. This type of moisturiser will also help retain moisture throughout the day, ensuring long-lasting benefits. To ensure the most thorough hydration, apply moisturiser to your clean and exfoliated face for about 10 minutes prior to adding foundation, so that the moisturizer is completely absorbed.
Use Hydrating Primer
Add another layer of hydration to your skin after exfoliating and moisturizing by applying a hydrating primer. If your skin is extra dry, add a few drops of facial oil into your skin before using the primer. Combining the oil and hydrating primer will add extra glow and will create an even more smooth base for your foundation.
Select a Dewy Foundation
Foundations come in two primary types - matte and dewy. If you have dry skin, avoid matte foundations, as they can make your skin look flat and drier than it already might be. The best foundation for dry skin would be one with a dewy or satin finish. Apply the foundation with a brush across the face, and finish it off with a setting spray to lock in your makeup. Look for a setting spray that offers a glowy or dewy finish that will work well with your foundation.
