So I have never found the right foundation or powder for my skin type. I never know what to use. everything makes my face look flakey. I even tried just bb cream by maybelline. what can I do?.. I have dry skin. but everytime I try mosturizers I get really oily and breakout. please help. I'm completely lost on what to do!!

Beautylish just had an editorial about finding the right foundation-I would say look for an oil free moisturizer, and try and drink more water? Maybe try and press the foundation with a brush to keep it firm also? Hope this helps :)

Amanda, I have dry skin too and the same problem with foundations. I smashbox's oil free primer and follow it up with Revlon's colors whipped foundation. I love it!! It blends so well into my skin, lasts all day, isn't cakey, and has amazing coverage. I use the beauty blender to apply.

When my skin was on the dry side, I used the mac studio sculpt and I loved it! Stayed on and looked flawless.
