Okay ladies so here's my issue. I have terrible dry skin. I have tried BB creams and love them, but I am in need of suggestions for a foundation that will work for extremely dry skin. I want a good foundation for times when I want my skin to appear more flawless. Thanks ladies!

You should go to sephora and get a sample of benefit cosmetics "hello flawless oxygen wow" it's not thick so it goes on nicely and I think it would be good for dry skin

Try the Hourglass serum primer :) it's really moisturizing, I use it under the Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation. It looks really good, the primer really helps my dry skin! Here's a pic of that combo on

I personally suffer from incredibly dry, flaky skin due to eczema. And whatever foundation you use over dead skin will not look good even if its high end or not. Lightly exfoliate every morning before makeup and apply thick moisturizer like cetaphil or cerave. Then wait about 10 minutes for it to soak in and apply powder foundation or mineral foundation. Youre probably thinking "what? powder for dry skin?!?!". If you use powder or mineral foundation with a patting motion with a puff or sponge, it will flatten out your dry flakes and make your skin look smooth. Now, all I use is mineral powder foundation because that's the only way I Can get away with any coverage on my face.
