I have super dry sensitive skin and out of the three foundations I've only tried the UD naked skin, I hated it. It clung to every dry spot and made me feel like I had an oily mask on my face. It broke me out so bad, and I usually don't get pimples from products just hormonal acne. It just felt really gross. :/ so if you get that, definitely sample it if you can first.
I don't usually use a powder so I'm a little useless there lol. But my sister used the elf one and likes it. :)
For eye primers I've used the too faced shadow insurance. It's nice :) Very close to UD's. I actually use the avon primer, if you can get it it's usually on sale (I got mine on a buy 1 get 1 free) and it's cheaper than most of them lol. But it works just as well, or better in my opinion, than my UD primer potion. I still have the mini one that came with the naked palette and I never use it anymore since I got the avon one.

Use UD if you have dry skin!
For powder, go with Nars!
And too faced primer is great!

1. Nars defiantly, the UD clung to my patches and the doublewear is a bit too heavy for my skin when it is flaky and feeling sensitive.
2. I don't use powder if I am dry but the only one I Tried out of those is the elf, which isn't good if you take flash photography.
3. I like the too Faced primer.

I've heard the nars one is very moisturizing so it'll probably be a good choice. :)
Do you have anywhere to get samples of the too faced one or do you have to order online? I know eye primers are very different on people. The UD one works for me for like 6 hours without creasing but not like on everybody else where they say it helps for 12+ hours lol. The avon one is nice though, it makes my eyeshadows last at least 10 hours depending on how hot it is. In the winter it lasts all day morning to night though. I know Emma pickles on YouTube uses it too, so you can definitely get it in at least parts of Europe.

Really? Aww. Well here it works by people becoming representatives. If you go on the site it should lead you to one. There might be one in Denmark. :)

I'm not sure. It automatically goes to the Canadian website for me.
But here's a website that lists places that sell avon in Denmark. I just googled "avon cosmetics in Denmark" :) http://www.global-customer.com/luxury/copenhagen/cosmetics_avon.html though it's set to one city, you can change that in the drop down menu though

Haha Aww understandable! In Canada whenever bands or events tour here they always go to Toronto only. Sometimes Vancouver but not usually. And Toronto is on the other side of the country. 28 hour drive from me 😬 Vancouver is a 15 hour drive from me but it's still far to go for a concert or an event lol.

Yeah that's horrible! That's like my best friend always drives to the states for some products we don't get. She saves up 200$ extra to spend on products and clothing we don't get here and don't ship to canada. It's a 12 hour drive to the boarder of South Dakota but she drives there to get US only products every 6 months or so haha.
Have you checked eBay or Amazon? I feel like they'd ship to Denmark, it might be a bit more expensive due to custom duties but avon is pretty cheap already so I think it'd still be cheaper than like too faced shipping fees plus product fees. I think the avon primer was 7$CAN?

Aww that sucks. Avon usually really saves me money, and is good products for the little prices. But at least you got something :) I hope the too faced works for you, I've tried it and it's worked but didn't blow me away haha.

Everyone told me to avoid Estée Lauder because of dry skin but it's amazing my skin looks flawless and it doesn't smudge or come off and I don't reapply all day.
