Dry Skin: Dry skin can produce, almost invisible pores, dull, rough complexion, red patches, less elasticity visible lines.When exposed to drying factors, skin can crack, peel, or become itchy, irritated, or inflamed. If your skin is very dry you may want to use:
1. Too faced Poreless and Primed
For dry skin most primers work more for hydration and less for blurring out imperfections like scars and pores. Now, this one is different.This primer does a really impressive job of smoothing out minor wrinkles, filling in pores and scars even to some extent thanks for its silicone rick formula.It aids in seamless foundation application and does helps makeup to lasts longer. The texture of the primer is thick and the finish is dry. it comes in a slight hinted light beige shade,which is not of much concern as this product virtually disappears on almost all skin tones but the deepest skin tones where it can appear a bit ashy. Sensitive skin, if your are allergic to ivy ,then must test before use although the content is very minor,i assume it wont effect most of the skins.
Another plus for this primer is it comes in three forms classic, pure and bronze tint.
The classic works excellent for dry skin. The pure version is mattifying making it more suited for oily -sensitive skin. and lastly the bronze tint which can be used if you are looking to add a little golden glow to your skin.

5. Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Primer
It is an hydrating primer that leaves an immediate cooling, refreshing sensation on the skin. It's basically like giving your skin a quick moisture splash.
This version of photo finish primer has a completely different texture,its super light gel formula.it leaves the skin healthy, radiant and hydrated. It also helps to cover up imperfections and pores.It applies as a thin liquidy gel Although after couple of minutes when it dries completely it has satin finish, very natural.
Color of the primer in the tube and right when it comes out is light blue. No worries ladies - it blends completely clear on skin.So this can be good choice also for someone who has combination skin with some dehydrated areas, or someone with acne who is using a lot of aggressive products and has skin that's dried out and flaky.
6. NARS Pro-Prime Multi-Protect Primer SPF 30
The NARS Pro-Prime Primer with SPF 30 (the sunscreen is chemical, so there’s nothing that will leave a white cast) ,creates the base for a smooth canvas in order to apply your makeup with ease, longevity and flawlessness while supposedly it also promises to nourishes the skin with various plant-based ingredients. Nars Pro Prime is a permanent line.The primer has a opaque white color, lotion-like texture which turns colorless and transparent once applied. The texture is light and almost fluffy like to touch. It's oil free ,though it will not mattify the skin and absorbs into the skin almost immediately without leaving or feeling like a greasy residue on the skin. It works to even out the skin ,and blur minor imperfections, while anyone with prominent large pores would be disappointed on this.If you have dry skin,which needs hydration without the oily feeling and a primer which makes the makeup last really long and also has spf without the white cast then this is your pick.
7. Bobbi Brown - Vitamin Enriched Face Base
Bobbi Brown’s face base is actually a moisturizer but it can also double as a face primer. In fact, I think that this product shines through as a primer more. It has a beautiful rich, thick texture but once applied it absorbs in the skin, cushions and smooths out the skin texture leaves an incredibly smooth, even surface. It’s oil free and contains shea butter which is the main reason for it being so moisturizing. The cream is packed a few vitamins in here too with A, C & E all included to help protect the skin against the environment and help reduce wrinkles etc.
I think the best thing about this product is the divine smell. I mean you need to just get to a counter to smell this product and you will be hooked. The scent is fresh with lemon being the strongest. Grapefruit and Geranium are in there too but they are not so obvious. Its not the cheapest product out there but a little goes a long way,its a great option anyone dealing with really dry and dehydrated skin.
