Setting powder is not always necessary for dry skin, as it can sometimes make dry patches more noticeable. However, if you choose to use setting powder, opt for a finely milled, hydrating formula to avoid a cakey appearance.
To touch up makeup for dry skin, start by gently blotting any excess oil with a tissue. Then, use a hydrating setting spray to refresh your makeup and add moisture back to your skin. Avoid using too much powder during touch-ups, as it can exacerbate dryness.
The best type of foundation for dry skin is a liquid or cream foundation with a hydrating formula. Look for foundations labeled as "hydrating," "moisturizing," or "dewy finish" to ensure they provide the necessary moisture and coverage without emphasizing dry patches.
