Best makeup for dry skin

LadyMayBelle

Suggestions welcome. My make up is shocking these days. Blotchy and patchy and cakey. God know what happened as it was grand a few months ago. My eyes in particular, where I use the corrector and concealer go cakey, regardless of how much I put on.

I have a bit of money to buy a new regime (and have started carrying the two liter bottles of water again to improve my skin and rehydrate it). Im thinking Clinuique but is that only because they look all clean and shiny? Usually use a mix of Bobbi Brown and Barbara Daly. As I mentioned already I need an overhaul, but just not sure who to go with!

Skin is dry, but nose is shiny and oily

My skin got that way recently but I've managed to rectify it with the following:

Skin care regime: Loads of water as you said, hydrating masks like you get in sachets from Sanctary in Boots and remember to exfoliate to get rid of dead skin cells sitting on skin!

For makeup I'd recommend a good non greasy moisturiser, Bobbi Brown do a nice one with SPF 15 or the new Vichy Pro Mat will hydrate without making your skin shiny!

The new Rimmel primer is hydrating and then honestly, honestly, order a Skin79 BB Cream from EBay, it's the only thing that doesn't dry out my skin!!

Chanel vitalumiere is a great foundation for dry skin! Expensive but lovely

I know it's expensive, but Dermalogica products have actually transformed my skin in the last few months! I had really dry and dehydrated skin and it's made such a difference. If you get the face mapping done at a salon which specialises in dermalogica they'll tell you which products suit your skin type best! I would suggest trying out one of the starter kits and see how you get on. The moisturiser, cleanser and daily microfoliant are unreal.

I find Bourjois's Healthy Mix Serum foundation/Illamasqua Skin Base good too, and Collection 2000 concealer.

Edit: Ooh Chanel Vitalumiere is a lovely foundation. Got a sample of the lightest shade but it was too dark, so annoying

Thanks all of you. I used to use dermaloguca in my late teens and might see if I can go back; had a reaction to the prep stuff ( can't remember the name; pre cleanse maybe?) and didn't go back.
I see that BB skin79 is now on amazon... Maybe worth a shot.

I'll try get a samPle of Chanel Vitalumiere but I have pale skin too ( lightest Bobbi Brown foundation).

Knocking back the water as well!

I've got combination skin, very oily cheeks and nose, and very dry chin and forehead. I always thought the oiliness was the far worse of the two problems so was using Revlon Color Stay foundation for oily skin for years. I was always lamenting about how my dry patches would look terrible after a few hours and I tried primer after primer to try and rectify it. The other day when I went to repurchase my foundation I actually picked up the one for dry skin and didn't realise until I got home. I feel like such an idiot now because it's made such a difference to how my make-up looks I use an oil-free moisturiser as well as primer under my makeup and translucent powder over it so I should have been trying to focus less on the oily skin and more on the dry skin! My dry skin is something that I'm trying to work on at the moment but for the time being my makeup looks a hundred times better than it did before.

Ok you need a good skincare routine! But you know that:D

The best are : Clinque repairwear or Shiseido lifting (full coverage)
Moisture rich by bobbi brown less coverage
