Skin Concerns

Lauren

I have dry and very spotty skin, and I’ve really hit a low in how to cover this. I’ve been trying different samples of foundations and primers for years now and nothing seems to last. Foundations are good for covering my redness. The textured bumpy spots obviously aren’t covered, but do look reduced and not red anymore after Foundation. However, no foundation I ever try will stay on for longer than a few hours if that. I’ve tried various foundations, setting powders and sprays and primers, trying to stick to makeup that is suitable for dry skin, but nothing seems to make a difference. I’m posting to ask if anyone with very spotty and dry skin has found a foundation/primer or powder that is good for their skin? I personally cannot use Matte products due to my skin not being able to tolerate the texture, so dewy and satin finishes are better. Obviously all skin is different and different products work for different people, but I’m just asking as I’m running out of options. I’ve tried the same brands together, a range of products recommended and have spent a lot on samples, with barely any results on longer lasting. Is this my skin just being awful? Or has anyone else been through this and finally found a perfect match? Im also looking for medium to full coverage.
