Any foundation form - liquids, powders, and mineral powders work well with normal skin types. Choose a formula that feels comfortable on your skin.
If you need minimal coverage, a tinted moisturizer followed by powder, is a good choice, especially during hot weather. A nice powder to try is Alexis Vogel's Pressed Powder in translucent shades.
Dry skin:
You'll need to choose a foundation that camouflages dry, flaky skin. A good choice would be a moisturizing form of liquid foundation or a crème foundation, which help to make
skin look dewy and moisturized, and help soften
appearance of wrinkles.
Be sure to use a good moisturizer to help hydrate and soften your skin prior to application. Also, a foundation primer provides additional moisturizing benefits and helps to make your makeup stay on longer.
Use powder sparingly - especially around dry patches, so that unflattering areas aren't accentuated, making you look older.
For Flawless Coverage:
Choose a crème foundation for flawless coverage - which is superior to liquids and powders to insure coverage of any skin discoloration; scars, broken capillaries, dark circles and other marks. A great crème foundation is Alexis Vogel's Crème Foundation.
Adjust as needed:
Once you've found
perfect foundation for your skin, you'll need to adjust
shade seasonally between summer and winter, if you tend to tan.
Perfect Application:
Apply foundation from
center of your face and blend outwards. Apply all over - even to your eyelids, lips and down below your chin for a more natural look. This also helps to "set" eye shadow and lipstick, so you'll get longer wear.
