Whether you have ultra-dry skin year-round, during particular seasons, or have been hitting the retinol products a bit too hard (hello, peeling skin), you’re already aware that dealing with chronically dehydrated skin often requires feeding in some extra TLC to keep it feeling glowy — not flaky. There is undoubtedly an expansive array of mattifying, pore-blurring, texture-smoothing, and wear-extending primers to choose from, but finding a complexion-perfecting makeup primer for dry skin types can feel like a bit more of a treasure hunt than an easy find.
While illuminating primers can be a good option, these formulas often lack the same filter-like effects that the velvet matte alternatives offer, making one feel the need to make sacrifices for either minimized pores and makeup that lasts the entire day (but feels dry and tight) or sparkle-infused creams that sure, catch the light beautifully, but do close to nothing when it comes to the task of holding your foundation in place for more than an hour or so.
Fortunately, while they may seem like a scarce commodity, there are some solid and affordably priced makeup primers that will hydrate dry skin without compromising all the skin-enhancing benefits they have to offer (a.k.a. why we take the extra step to apply them under our foundation). Best of all, if you’re not into the shimmer and strobe effect, these hydrating primers give your skin a juicy glow, but look as though you’ve doused your entire face with an opalescent highlighter.
