What is the best mineral makeup for dry skin (both foundations and finishing powders)? I currently use Pure Luxe and like it, but it seems to be making my dry skin even drier.

 
Bare Faced Minerals formulates their foundation with Vitamin E and the coverage and finish is very nice.

 
I recently started using the bee luscious liquid powder mineral foundation and love it!

It never dry's my skin it leaves it smooth and even its truly a great product.

It's good to know that EDM is okay for Dry Skin. I have Keratosis Pilaris on my face, which is a dry skin condition. But so long as I keep moisturized it's okay.

 
Moisturizing should help,also using a primer.My moisturizer doubles as both.I put MMU on right after I put it on(moisturizer)...flawless.

 
Some girls seem to really like Lumiere's Flawless Finish foundation for drier skins. You could try using a water mist/spray after applying the foundation (I use Evian) and that helps settle the makeup to make it look more even and natural.

But primers can ensure your makeup base to last longer.
I haven't tried it but there have been good reviews on Becca's Mineral SPF 30+ Primer.

 
always moisturize and exfoliate

also, wet application helps. i have dry skin as well..

see thai's tutorial

 
Thank you! So primer isn't necessary, but it's good to have.

I might have to try it. I'll see how things go with my MMU samples first.

 
I use my own MMU but find that with dry skin applying damp with a nice hydrosol that is for dry skin makes it look hydrated. My favorite out of the three I tried (fennel, corn flower and rose) from Garden of Wisdom is the rose hydrosol. Two spritzes into my swirly bowl, then a sprinkle of foundation. Moisturize, exfoliate often. I also use humidifiers around my house in the winter to keep the air hydrated. Every little thing helps.

 
I like Lumiere's Cashmere foundation, and a lot of Silk Naturals stuff. For foundations and finishing powders, I'd stay away from Pure Luxe, and check which EDM formula - PL has kaolin clay in it, and that's drying, and so does some EDM and a lot of other companies, so check the ingredients.

And yes, hydosols make all the difference - I like Sarafina's lavender one myself.
