Best Foundation For Dry Skin 

Using make up on dry skin is always a tricky business. Most of the time, the creams and lotions you use will make your dry skin stand out in sharp relief against the not so dry part of your face, thus making the face look like a roadmap of some sort. In order to avoid this, it is always better to use make up cleverly. On the day you will be applying foundation, make it a point to cream your face heavily from the morning onwards. Towards the middle of the day, steam your face and then apply cream again. Wash this off in the evening, and about a couple of hours before applying your make up, apply a light coat of non greasy cream to your face.

You can use pretty much any foundation for your make up base, but it would be wiser to go for a foundation that contains special moisturizers. These are now made by many companies and are freely available in most high end department stores. It would be an expensive investment, but a worthwhile one to make. Once you have applied a cream based foundation, you must follow it up with a powder based one which is one shade darker than the cream based one. This will hide any stubborn patches that have thus far refused to disappear.
