I love olay alot, try the multiradiance one, or if you like a natural build up tan, the touch of sun moisturizer
I like mac's prep and prime a lot for a foundation base, but I don't feel like it's really moisturizing, I thing that you need a good moisturizer for that. If your skin feel dry duing the day, maybe you can try a bit of fix + or Dove face mist to moisturize your skin without messing up your makeup.
I hope this helps

I have dry skin and Prep and Prime was too drying and Photofinish was awful on me. I am dying to try Laura Mercier's new Moisturizing Primer!

i have really dry skin as well, and also use SFF too. What i do is i use clinique's moisture on line, then use the city block sunscreen (i use this as a semi base for foundation), then i dabb a bit of strobe cream on. I apply the SFF over the top of this then squirt some fix + onto my skin, buffering it in with my 187. It tends to make my foundation last a good solid 8 - 9hours, leaving my face hydrated.

Face Primer for super dry skin??
I have very dry skin &I'm looking for the perfect face primer. I've been using MAC's regular face Prep + Prime &it works okay. First I apply a thick layer of moisturizer, let dry, &then apply a thiiiin layer of primer. Like I said, it works ok. But I'm almost out, so I would really like to try something else. Any recommendations? Obviously I'm not worried about oil-control. I'm just looking for something that will help adhere my makeup all day &keep it even
TIA

Re: Face Primer for super dry skin??
Revlon makes a primer for dry skin. I picked it up because my skin is so dry that mu tends to look flaky and powdery on me, and all rich moisturizers break me out! I can't win. So I apply Hope in a Jar, then the Revlon Primer, then my Mac Moisturblend.
The primer is ok, it hasn't broken me out and that's why I've kept it. I'm very sensitive. But I don't have a huge problem with my mu fading, so I can't comment on how it does in that respect. I haven't had any problems with it at all, and it makes me mu go on more smoothly and evenly. Smashbox and Sephora brand also have worked for me in the past.

LORAC Aqua Prime is amazing for dry skin types. It uses Sodium Hyaluronate, which is a molecule that binds moisture and can hold 1000x its own weight in just water. So it'll attach to the moisture from the air, water intake, and skincare products that you're using and hold onto it in your skin.

Re: Face Primer for super dry skin??
this is from my January column at Naturally Curly:
Most product fixes are designed to give you a smooth base for applying foundation since so few of us have flawless skin. The most highly-touted product for this purpose is Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. An oil-free, silicone-based formula, it will fill in small lines and smooth your skin before you apply foundation. Use it sparingly because a little goes a long way.
If you don’t want to spend the $36 it costs to buy the primer, Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder-Gel can be had at almost any drugstore for about 10 per cent of the cost. Dozens of members here at NaturallyCurly swear by it as a primer. It’s also silicone-based, and at that price you can afford to use it every day.

Help with Face Primer
Ive been searching for a face primer lately and I'm really not sure which one to go with. I have Dry skin but an oily T-zone. What Primer would you recommend for me? How should I apply it to maximize the benefits it offers?(Before or after moisturizer?etc...) I also use liquid foundation if that makes a difference.

Re: Help with Face Primer
i use smashbox photo finish.. first i loved it then it started gettin 'bobbly' like flaky but now i love it again because i realised you have to apply it when your moisturiser has totally soaked in
its perfect for dry, normal, combo and oily skins so give it a try

Re: Help with Face Primer
I've heard Photofinish is better for drier skin. I personally would recommend MAC prep+prime face. It's great for oilier skin, but for areas that get dry, it won't irritate. I have combination skin and have used this stuff for a long time with great results.
