Niacinamide is a beneficial ingredient in foundation for dry skin since it helps fortify the skin barrier, which is responsible for preventing moisture from evaporating. In addition to its presence in countless skincare products, niacinamide can also be found in Dermablend’s Continuous Correction™ CC Cream SPF 50+. This multi-tasking CC cream foundation also features a blend of antioxidants that includes caffeine and vitamin E, plus broad-spectrum sunscreen to help protect dry skin from environmental damage. In addition, this innovative complexion coverage also provides visible improvement in skin radiance after four weeks as well as up to 24 hours of full-coverage wear.

Creating a customized serum-infused foundation is easier than you think. Simply add a dose of any serum or moisturizer to your desired amount of Flawless Creator Liquid Foundation Drops to give your color and coverage an all-day skincare boost—and you can control the finish by adjusting the number of drops.

All of Dermablend’s foundation options are suitable for dry skin—it really comes down to personal preference. Continuous Correction™ CC Cream SPF 50+ provides color, improvement in radiance and a high degree of sun protection, while Smooth Liquid Camo Hydrating Foundation offers physical SPF 25 along with buildable, long-lasting medium-to-full coverage. Cover Crème offers maximum coverage and physical SPF 30 while strengthening the skin’s barrier to help moisture stay put.

Makeup primer is key for long-lasting foundation wear, and the right formula can provide even more benefits. Insta-Grip™ Jelly Primer is our best primer for dry skin because it provides instant moisture plus a temporary skin-tightening effect for smooth foundation application—and its unique texture “grips” makeup for up to 24 hours.

The best setting product for dry skin depends on the finish you prefer. If you like a powder, our translucent Loose Setting Powder locks in makeup and extends wear for up to 16 hours while leaving skin looking matte and flawless, and our Illuminating Banana Powder gives the same level of makeup-extending power with a brightening, luminous result. For touch-ups when you’re on the go, our translucent Compact Setting Powder makes it easy to refresh your makeup and keep it in place.

Our Lock and Last™ Setting Spray is ideal for those who prefer a mist. Formulated with skin-caring ingredients like witch hazel, willow leaf and allantoin, this setting spray provides up to 24 hours of makeup wear and enhances water-, smudge- and transfer-resistance while offering instant hydration. It can also be used on its own or as a finishing touch after using setting powder.
