These 11 Hydrating Foundations Are Perfect for Dry Skin
Outside of finding a match that complements your skin's tone and undertone, there are a number of factors to consider when it comes to choosing the right face makeup. The best foundations for dry skin, in particular, typically contain a bevy of plumping and moisturizing ingredients like squalane, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides to combat flakiness.
"Any foundation that's hydrating and creamy is ideal for people with dry skin," professional makeup artist Beck Wainner tells BAZAAR.com. "These formulas keep it looking extremely supple and radiant—think: fresh and glowy." Celebrity makeup artist Hailey Hoff agrees, noting that the incorporation of proper skincare prep—from exfoliation to your choice of face oils and moisturizers—also plays a key role in keeping uneven texture and unwanted dryness at bay. "I personally love using the Chantecaille Rose de Mai Oil to prep clients with dry skin, but really any kind of oil or hydrating face cream can work," she adds.
To make it simple to optimize your makeup staples, we've pulled together 11 of the best foundations for dry skin that makeup artists and editors are raving about. From luxe favorites by Giorgio Armani Beauty and Clé de Peau Beauté to clean formulas from Jones Road and Kosas, these essential foundations are worthy of any makeup bag.
