What is a good liquid foundation for really dry skin?

Preferably one you have used and worked well.What is a good liquid foundation for really dry skin?
I am a makeup artist.





I just have to say: I've never heard of BeeLusious, EVER, so they can't be that good..and for the prices they charge, you can by Dior!!!





With that said, you should have a good skin care regime. You should wash your face with a gentle cleanser made for dry skin, and ALWAYS use a rich moisturizer after washing your face, try..


Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer Lotion ($24):

or Sephora Brand FACE Moisturizer ($18):

..and right before you put on foundation. If you have some flaking, use a slightly abrasive scrub once a week to help remove them.





For foundation, tinted moisturizers are the best way to go. They will keep your skin hydrated throughout the day, a good one to try is Physician's Formula Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer ($10 at CVS), or Sephora Brand Tinted Moisturizer ($18 at Sephora.com). However, they don't provide very much coverage.





Liquid foundations will give you more coverage. They will help keep moisture in and will glide onto your dry skin easily. Some to try are..


Cover Girl Advanced Radiance ($14):

Creme foundations may be better than liquid at providing coverage AND moisture. You could also try oil-based cremes, but be careful, as they can clog pores easily. Try these...


Covergirl Aquasmooth ($9):

Remember to stay away from powders, as they will only make your skin drier.





If you find that even moisturizing foundations are making you dry, add some moisturizer to your foundation. Scoop out a little bit of liquid foundation on your hand, squeeze a few dots of moisturizer on top, and mix it with your foundation brush then apply immediately. You can also try using a primer (apply after moisturizer and before foundation), such as Rimmel's Fix %26amp; Perfect Primer ($6 at Walmart).





Hope this helps! :)What is a good liquid foundation for really dry skin?
I have been a professional makeup artist for over 20 years and I love helping and giving advice.





I have seen great success with bee luscious cosmetics liquid minerals and their new photo touch mineral foundations. My clients have been raving over this product line since I brought it to my salon 2 years ago. I also recommend the retexturizing face primer.





Its a very safe product line and skincare is FAB!!!
