I've been through all kinds of foundations; MAC, MUF, Lorac, Dior, Smashbox, Lancome, all types of brands and i cant seem to find a foundation that works for me. My skin is very dry and am I sensitive and VERY FAIR SKIN. The past Foundations that I use crack on me even with a PRIMER!

HELP :(

I highly recommend Gabriel Moisturizing Foundation SPF 18...I have combo skin that gets dry in the winter and very sensitive skin. It doesn't make me break out and is one of the most natural foundations on the market, while still providing decent coverage. Their color selection is a bit limited, but other than that its amazing stuff. Vegan and Cruelty-Free as well. I use Pale Ivory and its almost too light for me lol. You can also use bronzer though or mix too colors together.

Have you ever tried using a drugstore brand instead? This may sound weird, but when I had my really dry skin days, I would exfoliate and cleanse my face first, and then I would take a little bit of olive oil and a light moisturizer and massage it into my skin and then blot with a tissue. After that I would take my foundation ( the one I use is Revlon PhotoReady ) and apply it with a stippling brush. Then I would set it with a powder. It kept my skin moisturized all day and foundation glowing not greasy. It was good for the winter months. You could also try the Revlon ColorStay one. Its a matte finish and lasts all day. But try the olive oil and light moisturizer under it and blot. You'll only need a pea size amount. Then prime if you want. The foundation won't slide off your face and your skin shouldn't crack. Hope this helps.

The problem might be your moisturizer, you might want to change it & get a moisturizer that truly keeps your skin moisturized throughout the day. Don't give up on your high end foundations without trying a better moisturizer. Eucerin and Olay work great for extremely dry skin :-)
