Moisturizing face cream under foundation

I know many people use facial moisturizers before applying makeup. Tell me, do your pores not get clogged as a result? It seems to me that even pimples began to appear on me from the cream, and then on top of the foundation. How about you? Or what kind of cream do you use under makeup?

I generally use the Clean Line for dry skin
nothing gets clogged and pimples don’t appear either (although my skin is acne-prone)

Both skincare cream and foundation can clog pores, and with equal probability, it depends on the composition of the product and the tendency of the skin to clog pores.

I have very dry skin and can’t live without a moisturizing lotion. Nothing gets clogged

Creams and not creams, you remember already!

I use serums, most often EL. They can be applied in the thinnest layer, since they are liquid and do not clog anything. The foundation is also Estee Lauder. In summer, everything tinted is reduced to a minimum. Well, mattifying serum for the nose is sacred. Nothing gets clogged, combination skin.

I have combination skin - I use mattifying cream under foundation. doesn't clog pores

Creams. No creams will help you, young lady, if your head is empty, you will not become more attractive.

I always use it this way, it never clogs, although my skin is prone to it.
if they get clogged, change the cream or foundation.

I use Lumene Sensitive Touch daytime (with thermal water, on a damp face) and on top of foundation Maybelline (which is NOT long-lasting, but rather runny).
To me, on the contrary, dry foundations, especially if without cream, lie unsightly on the face. and with cream - such a silky shine on the cheekbones, you know, I guess. in short, it looks well-groomed, and the foundation applies much more smoothly to the cream. and you need much less of it and there is no feeling that it is absorbed into the skin.

You cannot apply foundation to unhydrated skin; you must moisturize your face, either with a special makeup base or your regular moisturizer. I use the natural Jurassic spa emulsion for normal to dry skin, my foundation blends beautifully on it))

Creams. No creams will help you, young lady, if your head is empty, you will not become more attractive.

Makeup artists love makeup foundations, but these products rarely find a home in the makeup bags of ordinary beauty users. But in vain, because modern primers are developed for all skin types and are useful both from the point of view of aesthetics and from the standpoint of proper care.

Why do you need a makeup base?

Makeup base, or primer, is a light product, usually without a tinting effect, which is used before applying foundation or powder. This product can do a lot:

prolong the durability of makeup;

visually smooth the skin texture;

adjust color nuances.

What functions does the base perform?

Choose a primer according to the task you want to solve.

With the help of absorbent and sebum-regulating components, the base reduces sebum production. This allows you to extend the durability of your makeup and delay the appearance of oily shine for several hours.

Featuring nourishing and moisturizing ingredients such as oils, glycerin and hyaluronic acid, the primer removes flaking, moisturizes and nourishes skin.

Primers-color correctors contain pigments that allow level out color unevenness skin. Red will hide blue circles under the eyes, green will hide redness, and pink will add freshness to a dull face.

Silicone bases visually smooth the skin. They fill pores and fine lines, making them almost invisible. As a result, foundation or powder is applied in a more even layer.

How to choose a primer

First of all, focus on your individual characteristics, because now makeup bases are developed taking into account the needs of each skin type.

A good choice would be a makeup base that guarantees hydration: it will enhance the effect of the cream and create an additional barrier between the skin and foundation, which often dries it out.

For oily skin

The eternal problem of oily skin is shine in the forehead and nose, the appearance of which can be delayed for a decent amount of time thanks to mattifying primers. They will also make your makeup last longer.

For combination skin

Typically, this type of skin is only shiny in the T-zone, so you can only use mattifying primers in this area. You can also distribute the silicone base there: it will smooth out and visually reduce pores.

For problem skin

It is characterized by inflammation and redness. A green concealer can help disguise red pigment, but be careful: when applied all over your face, it will give an unattractive, earthy tone, so use these products spot on.

Types of primers

Now let's talk about what makeup bases exist on the market and what you should pay attention to when choosing them.

Controls shine through the drying effect of alcohol and absorbent ingredients such as talc. It is important not to dry out oily skin - this will only cause it to produce even more sebum.

When using mattifying primers on a regular basis, do not neglect moisturizing.

Fill in uneven areas, visually smoothing them out. But not every skin likes silicones. Sometimes these products cause clogged pores and inflammation.

The most controversial category of all presented. By neutralizing redness, you can get a gray spot, so makeup artists recommend applying green color correctors not to the entire face, but only locally.

As for pink primers, they are not suitable for skin with closely located blood vessels, as they will only emphasize the redness.

These bases are unlikely to harm dry skin, but can contribute to clogged pores on oily skin due to their high oil content.

Primer composition

Below is a short list of the main components that can be included in a makeup base.

Alcohol is an aggressive substance that cosmetics manufacturers still include in mattifying products.

Talc absorbs fat.

Mika - extra finely ground pearlescent particles that add radiance to the skin.

Silicones smooth out unevenness and form a protective barrier between the skin and foundation.

Oils, glycerin and other humectants soften the skin and prepare it for makeup.

Choosing a foundation for dry skin so that it does not emphasize its main problems - dryness, flaking, irritation, and also cares for it, moisturizes, distributes well and is long-lasting - is not an easy task. The well-groomed beauty portal has set itself the goal of finding the ideal product for dry skin. What came out of this is in the next review.

Foundation for dry and sensitive skin. Basic product requirements

Dry skin is very capricious, but if you satisfy all its “whims”, you can achieve an ideal result. So, what should you pay attention to when choosing a foundation for dry skin:

Photo from the site: kira-beauty.ru

1. First and most importantly, dry skin literally cries out for hydration. When choosing a foundation for dry skin, look for products labeled “Moisturizing”!
2. Dry skin is very thin and delicate, one might say almost transparent. You will never see enlarged pores on her, but expression lines are very obvious. To avoid the “bakery apple” effect of a generously flavored cosmetic glaze of foundation pigment, choose light, breathable consistencies that lie on the skin like a weightless veil. Thick foundation for dry skin is an absolute evil. It will highlight all the wrinkles and, moreover, visually enhance their appearance.

Those with dry skin require not only light textures, but also weightless coverage. It is best to use a brush to apply the cream, or apply the foundation with a damp sponge, this is how you can achieve a light tone without layering.

1. Dry skin is prone to flaking. The most problematic areas are the forehead, wings of the nose, and the triangle between the eyes and nose. To hide annoying flakes, look for creams containing caring oils. Don't forget about a moisturizing makeup base. Moisturizer under foundation for dry skin is a MUST!
2. Dry skin often shows irritation in the form of red spots. This means that owners of this skin type are faced with the task of finding a product that will ideally even out the overall skin tone. Well, and, of course, don’t forget about products such as corrector and concealer, which will help cover up color imperfections in the skin.
3. Dry skin rarely boasts radiance and is usually dull and sallow. To add shine, choose products that contain luminous elements or light shimmer. They will add a delicate glow and revitalize the skin. And, of course, don’t forget about such a beauty product as highlighter, which will help create the effect of dewy skin.

In general, we can say that the foundation is simply created for dry skin, it helps to revitalize and moisturize it. The main thing is to choose the right product. We tried to find the best foundation for dry skin, but more on that below.

Which foundation is best for dry skin? Rating from "Groomed"

Many makeup artists, and women themselves, have noted that foundation for dry skin is the best product from the entire series of toning products. For example, mousse emphasizes dryness even more, powder treacherously indicates flaking, BB cream does not provide sufficient nutrition. The foundation, naturally, correctly selected both in its tone and, most importantly, type, transforms dry skin, giving it radiance and softness.

However, to ensure that your foundation blends completely with your skin, it is important to choose a good product. “Groomed” has compiled its own rating. Naturally, it would be biased to compare products from different price segments, and therefore we have selected the best products in each price range.

So, the best foundation for dry skin.

You shouldn’t be dismissive of the mass market segment. Yes, they do not contain that rich base as luxury cosmetics, but it also happens that the covering abilities of budget line foundations even exceed those of more elite products.

We've rounded up three of the best budget foundations for dry skin.

Voile Hydratant from L'ETOILE

Photo from website: talkyland.com

Ambiguous product. The foundation has excellent moisturizing properties, perfectly evens out the tone and even copes with minor skin imperfections, such as redness, spider veins, and dark circles under the eyes. Naturally, such an effect is achieved for a reason - by choosing the camouflage properties of the product, the manufacturer sacrificed ease of application. The foundation has a rather dense consistency, which mercilessly emphasizes facial wrinkles. The brush that comes with the tube is also not good for the product; it makes the makeup even heavier.

However, it's not all bad. It is enough to mix the foundation with a regular moisturizer or emulsion, and the excessive density of the product will be overcome. Don't pay attention to the brush that comes with the kit; it's better to use your usual thin makeup brush. Using this advice, you will become the owner of a beautiful tone, moisturized skin, and most importantly, this effect will last a long time. Well, the durability of the product is excellent.

Dream Satin Fluid from MAYBELLINE

Photo from the site: lars.in.ua

Again, an unexpected variation for dry skin types is the thick texture. Manufacturers have recently begun to ignore the characteristics of dry skin, highlighting the camouflage component of the product. The foundation from a well-known brand really perfectly covers all the color imperfections of the face, but at the same time shamelessly reveals the age of its owner. If you are still a very young lady, then there is nothing to be afraid of - Dream Satin Fluid will look good on your skin. Well, if you can no longer boast of absolute smoothness of your skin, then again use the advice offered earlier - mix the foundation product with your regular moisturizer, so you will achieve the necessary lightness of coverage. And yes, apply only with a brush or damp sponge.

But what is really great about this product is the satin skin effect that Dream Satin Fluid gives to its users. The face seems to be illuminated from the inside, and most importantly, there is no hint of dryness.

Unfortunately, the staying power of Dream Satin Fluid is slightly lower than the previous product, so be sure to use setting powder. But don’t be overzealous, 2 - 3 strokes of the brush will be enough.

Those with dry skin should not be afraid of powder at all. Yes, it can highlight expression lines and age wrinkles, but this is only possible if the powder is used as the main foundation, and even then on unprepared skin. So make it a rule to always moisturize your skin before applying decorative cosmetics, and most importantly, use products that are suitable exclusively for your skin type.

Healthy Mix from BOURJOIS PARIS

An excellent product - it both tones and cares for the skin, and all because it contains a real vitamin cocktail. There are also extracts of melon, apricot, ginger, apple - they all perfectly moisturize dry skin. And most importantly, Healthy Mix, unlike its predecessors, is a really easy product. The manufacturer did not pay increased attention to camouflage properties, and rightly so! Corrective products can also correct color imperfections, and the cream will give you a light glow of freshness and the perfect tone.

But even in this beauty miracle there was room for a small fly in the ointment - the product has the lowest stability rating among all foundations presented in the rating. But I think a good powder will help correct this defect.

Cosmetics in the medium category are also called intermediate. In terms of pricing policy, it is classified as conditionally affordable, but its higher cost is justified by the content of caring ingredients. In other words, when purchasing such products, you can be sure that in addition to high-quality “scenery” you will receive proper care.

Let's look at the best moisturizing foundations for dry skin in this price segment.

Teint Divin by "CAUDALIE"

An ultra-light product ideal for dry and sensitive skin. In addition, the cream contains minerals that tone the skin and give it a rested appearance. Teint Divin contains a lot of useful substances, which are primarily aimed at solving the main task - moisturizing the skin.

In addition, Teint Divin contains whitening components. Those. The cream not only covers skin imperfections, but also fights pigmentation.

The only negative is the excessive yellowness of the pigment, but if you shade everything thoroughly and quickly, without letting the cream dry out, the transition boundaries will be invisible.

High Performance, IsaDor from ISA DORA

Photo from website: starstore.ru

Another representative in the line of foundation products, where the manufacturer relied on camouflage properties. High Performance covers not only color flaws, but also relief errors - acne, rashes, pimples. But for this opportunity you have to sacrifice age. Due to the rather dense texture, after a while wrinkles begin to appear treacherously. However, if immediately after applying the product you blot the excess cream with a cotton pad, you can somewhat minimize this effect without losing the perfectly smooth skin texture.

Longevity without complaints - 6 hours without makeup correction are guaranteed.

The high cost is not just an overpayment for the brand, it is justified. All self-respecting brands with a high reputation constantly conduct laboratory and clinical research in search of the best formula. By purchasing a product from the Luxury segment, you can be sure of its high quality, and most importantly, impeccable care, because all Luxury cosmetics first of all strive for competent care and maintenance of beauty, and only then pays attention to decorative characteristics. Moreover, these same decorative characteristics are still among the leaders, because all Lux products are based on innovative technologies.

We can say that cosmetics in this class will be considered ideal, but we still tried to find the best of the best foundations for very dry skin.

Luminous Moisturizing Foundation by BOBBI BROWN

Photo from website: wr2buy.com

A truly magical product. It lays down like a thin, weightless veil, but at the same time perfectly evens out the tone, creating a velvety texture, and completely hides wrinkles. The cream has a fluid consistency, due to which it creates a uniform coating without transitions.

The product is very comfortable to wear, does not weigh down the face and allows the skin to breathe. In other words, with Luminous Moisturizing Foundation, your skin will look like there is no makeup on, except even better...

Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth Makeup SPF15 от «CLINIQUE»

Photo from website: temaquillo.com

It has an unusually light, almost weightless texture. The entire line is presented in a version with a delicate pink pigment, which intelligently adapts to the natural skin tone, creating a “naked face” effect. Despite its weightless texture, the cream perfectly covers color imperfections - closely spaced blood vessels and dark circles under the eyes, so no additional help from corrective products is needed.

The moisturizing properties are excellent, thanks to which not only are wrinkles not noticeable, but they will disappear over time. As for the durability of the product, there are no complaints here - 8 hours of guaranteed results, and this without additional fixation with powder!

Skin Caviar Foundation, Concealer from “La Prairie”

Photo from the site: modmod.ru

According to the Skin Caviar Foundation portal, Concealer is the best foundation product for dry skin. This is a truly luxurious product - light texture, moisturizing complex, powerful protection against adverse external influences, support for the skin in the form of antioxidants that slow down aging.

Creates a weightless coating on the face, but for this reason does not cover color imperfections. But it doesn’t matter – the Skin Caviar Foundation and Concealer kit comes with a corrector with a special brush. So an even tone without flaws is guaranteed. Durability – over 8 hours, without additional fixation.
The product has only one drawback - a very high price, but it is compensated by its flawless skin tone and powerful caring composition.

These are the best options at the moment. Which foundation is suitable for dry skin in your particular case is up to you to decide. We just tried to help in this difficult choice.
