Makeup And Skincare for Dry Skin

A constantly updated list of mostly drugstore / affordable makeup for people with dry skin! Many people around my age (15 - 25) have oily skin, so blog posts with help for people with dry skin like me are rather limited. 

Skincare 

1. Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturising Cream with cooling action
Pros: 
  • 24 hour lasting hydration (colloidal oatmeal and shea butter)
  • no heavy feeling on skin
  • very affordable and accessible 
  • relieves stubborn skin conditions such as eczema
  • menthol leaves a cooling, tingly feeling!
Cons:
  • not travel friendly - one size only
  • may leave sticky feeling for oily-normal skin 

3. Bonne Bell Active Outdoor SPF 30+ Lip Balm 
Pros: 

  • long lasting and super hydrating
  • SPF30+
  • affordable 

Makeup 

1. Beauty Blender - great investment for anyone!
Pros: 

  • buildable coverage (light to full)
  • a heaven-send for DRY skin
  • gives flawless finish in minimal time 
Cons
  • pricey and hard to find in store 
  • hard to clean 

2.  Revlon Photoready Liquid Foundation - medium coverage, hydrating, long-lasting, photogenic 

3. Skin79 VIP Gold BB Cream SPF 30+ - light-medium coverage, hydrating

4. Skin79 Super Plus BB Cream SPF 50+ - medium-high coverage, hydrating

5. L'Oreal True Match Mineral Powder Foundation - only powder foundation I've used that isn't drying and gives medium-full coverage. 


6. Shu Uemura Lightbulb Foundation - medium-high coverage, hydrating, photogenic

7. Face of Australia 3-in-1 Face Primer - moisturiser, sunscreen and primer all in one! Highly recommended for dry skin as it creates a flawless canvas that hides dry patches. 

8. Rimmel Perfect Match Concealer - only concealer that doesn't accentuate dry patches, doesn't crease and covers my dark circles!
