How to find the right foundation for your skin...

So you want to find the best foundation for your skin type right ? well my oily/combination/dry skinned girls, I'm going to point you in the right direction so you know what you should be looking for. I myself have combination skin so I get the odd dry patch here and there in the winter and a couple of spots every now and again so I can vouch on the best foundations for you as my skin like to chop and change. Foundation is the canvas to our makeup so we need it to be looking as flawless as possible, that can be achieved when you wear the right foundation.

Dry skin
If you have dry skin and find your usual foundation to be clingy to those pesky dry patches you may want to consider a foundation with a rich formula as oil free foundations are a massive no for your skin, you need your skin to be nicely moisturized all day don't you?  You should be looking for an oil based foundation that is very hydrating, this will make your skin feel comfortable and not so tight which is a problem for you ladies with dry skin, another benefit of using oil based foundations is the dewy glow it gives you which then results in you looking glowing and radiant, who doesn't want to look healthy ?! If you have more mature skin your skin has likely dried out as you have aged, A good option for you are the anti-aging moisturizers and foundations all rolled into one. Here are my top  foundations for dry skin:
