Which Foundation Formula Should You Be Using?
Cream, powder, liquid, tinted moisturizer, oil-free, firming -- take this quiz to learn (finally!) what face makeup is best for your skin type and issues like dry, oily and sensitive skin
Your Results
The best foundation for you is an oil-based, sheer liquid formula
Why: Any oil-free foundation or powder foundation will accentuate the dryness of your skin, so you want to instead opt for something that will add moisture, says Stiles.
Products to try: For light/medium coverage try MAC Face and Body, $32. For full coverage, try Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, $65, which has a bit of luminosity to it, so it will make your skin look dewy and glowing since dry skin can often look a bit dull and lifeless, says Stiles.
Tip: "Use a rich moisturizer. It will be a good base before you apply your foundation. You can even use a product like Josie Maran's Argan Oil, $52, an oil from Morocco that is deeply moisturizing, but doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy.
