I really like Clinique Even Better. I was having a difficult time finding one and so far this has been the best for my dry skin, everything else (Urban Decay Naked, L'Oreal True Blend & the Lumi, L'Oreal Liquid Powder, Benefit, Kat Von D, Sephora brands, Smashbox, etc.). I also liked Too Faced BB Creme (liquid), Tarte, and Nars Sheer Glow but it broke me out (but I have sensitive skin). I'm pretty sure Mac has one that is good for dry skin but I haven't tried it and Makeup Forever has the face and body that is also good but I haven't tried it. I also really like Bare Minerals. But if you are planning on buying a high end then I would for sure try a sample first and also using a primer!

You must try Bobbi Brown EXTRA REPAIR foundation. Its so moisterizing, but has a texture like no other foundation. Its a "balmy" texture. It kinda smells herbally but it dissipates once you have it off. But don't get it mixed up with their TINTED BALM which has practically NO coverage.

I meant the scent dissipates after you have it ON.

Tarte's Maracuja foundation might be worth looking into :) it's made with maracuja oil (which they also sell and is amazing. I've been using it for about a year or two now.) and it's very hydrating and good for the skin. I have oily skin so I haven't tried it but as I said I do use the maracuja oil itself and it's good for all skin types. My skin has been very dry lately though due to prescription acne medications and the oil is the only thing that helps some nights.
