I'm looking for a full coverage foundation (anything that is not too matte because of my dry skin) would the Double wear foundation or the Kat Von D foundation work for my skin type? If you have any other recommendations please let me know :) thank you!

When I had dry skin (I used to be on prescription retina for acne) I tried the double wear and it emphasized my dryness and looked horrible. It's definitely a great foundation but not for us girls with dry skin unfortunately :(

I have never dried the kat Von d however I do really like the makeup forever HD! I know it's not full full coverage however it's very buildable and looks really nice on the skin.

I have dry skin and both of those emphasized the texture on my skin and became flaky. the estee lauder was less noticeable if I put it on while my face oil was still moist, but I just am not happy with it anymore. Its a great foundation and I used to use it when I was in a more humid climate and oilier. The kat von d sample I got didnt get used more than twice because it just made me look so dull, even for a matte foundation. I've seen it look good, in person, on other people so I'm sure it was just my skin.
for full coverage I really like my R.C.M.A. it just glides over imperfections and I just can't say enough good things about this one. It is better for dry skin types because its made of waxes and it has never personally caused me issues on my acne prone skin.
otherwise I find that my coverfx drops work really well at both color correcting and adding coverage to foundations. I like them with my loreal true match lumi (which was a good shade match to begin with, I'm w3 in loreal and g30 in the coverfx), my ex1, and my urban decay one and done, which are all light to medium coverage to begin with but sit well on my skin. I like the revlon colorstay whipped for its coverage and how it wears but I just can't get past the scent it has. its like a real rubbery vinegar taste almost.

I would recommend too faced born this way foundation. I have dry skin and looks great. I would also suggest in getting samples to try before buying first.
