If you have dry, dehydrated skin, finding a foundation that won't accentuate dry patches can be hard. We are delving into some of the best foundations for dry skin with the most hydrating formulas that will work with your skincare to help replenish moisture levels whilst offering flawless coverage.

What Foundation Format Should You Choose if you Have Dry Skin?

The best formats to opt for are liquid and cream foundations in sheer or satin finishes, particularly those with a light coverage. Look out for formulations that are oil based, as these will leave your skin looking dewy while covering flaky areas. Alternatively, if you have dry skin prone to breakouts, then serum or water-based formulations are better suited.

Top Tip: Applying a face primer before you put on your foundation as this will not only hydrate your skin, but create a smooth base for flawless application.
