I have no idea about foundation. I've been reading up on the discussions to learn more. I needed some help with what kind of foundation to use: for sensitive skin that gets dry too a lot. I don't want the foundation to clog pores. should I try mineral foundation, liquid made my skin look patchy and dry, I tried thr clairins foundation out should I use something compact-y, so lost. Help please ladies :)!

Most days, I don't wear foundation. I'm a huge fan of Dermalogica's age smart primer. It has light coverage, makes skin luminous, has SPF and makes my face smooth with no drying. Works well under foundation too.

I've tried many liquid foundations and also some bb creams... Bb creams are lighter than foundations, but both clog pores... Now I'm using mineral foundation and I love it!!

Huda..I have psoriasis and dry skin is something I stay on top of. It works for me, personally. You can ask for a sample. Although it is a primer, it does everything a BB cream does..only better, in my view.

It's very light, but silky. Light coverage, but most days that's all I need. Ulta is very good with samples. Good luck. Laura Mercier also makes a hydrating primer, as does Hourglass..in a serum. Those may help.
