Hey, guys!
Welcome back and hello to you new people, too.
Before I jump into this video, I want to remind you all to click the little subscribe button
down below so you never miss my next video.
So, today we're gonna be talking about my top six favorite primers and foundations for
dry skin.
As a refresher, I have dry, sensitive skin with rosacea.
I also have Seborrheic Dermatitis, which is also known as Eczema, around this part of
my nose and my eyebrows, which can be annoying.
Sometimes I end up with having flakey scalp from it, also annoying.
Anyway, I want to talk about the products that seem to work really well for me despite
my skin issues.
So primer number one is the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer.
Yes, this is a super, super pricey primer.
When I first got samples of this from Sephora, I got the little, mini samples and I think
I went through three of them before I decided, "Okay, I really need to buy a full-size of
this because I love what it does for me."
I feel like it gives my skin this nice radiance and "lit from within" glow.
It's very brightening.
It does a good job of kind of countering some of the redness I have in my skin.
It does this whole glowy thing for my skin, which I really love, but it also works really
well with silicone-based foundations.
It's a really great primer, and if I don't know what primer is gonna work with what I'm
wearing, I will usually reach for this primer.
Now, this tube was like $75, but I got it 20% off because I waited to buy it during
a Sephora VIB sale, which is what I recommend you do if you want to buy something pricey
like this.
Wait for the Sephora sale, it's coming up soon.
If it's something you're interested in, you can always get a sample now and then if you
decide you like it, you can pick it up.
But yeah, this stuff is pretty amazing.
I feel like in some ways it's kind of like a little miracle in a tube.
If I'm using a silicone-based foundation these days, this is the primer that I go for.
Next up would be the Too Faced Hangover Primer.
Now, this was the first water-based primer that I bought.
Initially, I received this as a PR sample, didn't like it, gave it away to a friend,
and then when I was like, "Oh, I need a water-based primer," I went back and bought it and I was
like, "Oh, this is actually pretty good."
I feel like it works pretty well for me.
I really like how it smells.
I know some people really don't like it because ... to me it smells like a tropical vacation,
so I think it's a great smell, but a lot of people don't like scent and for whatever reason,
I feel very lucky that this has scent but doesn't cause me to breakout because a lot
of things with fragrance will cause my sensitive skin to breakout.
This is $32 and, of course, it's silicone-free.
So my favorite water-based primer and the primer that I'm wearing today is this one.
It's by First Aid Beauty and it's name is The Coconut Skin Smoothie Priming Moisturizer.
I just call this the Coconut Smoothie Primer because it's name is super long and I hate
super long names.
This gives a nice radiance to the skin, too.
It has a slight beige tint, but it's not very tinted.
It just gives you a nice glow.
So if you see it on the back of my hand here, you can just barely see that it has a tint,
and when I rub it out, it's gonna give my hand this beautiful glow.
It gives it a nice sheen, so it makes your skin look really radiant.
This smells like sweet coconut, too.
Again, I know people don't always like fragrance.
This doesn't cause me to breakout, it doesn't trigger any migraines.
I think it's excellent.
And it's only $28, so it's even less expensive than the Too Faced Primer.
This is 1.7 fluid ounces, while this is 1.3.
So those are the three primers that I love.
Now, onto foundations.
The first foundation that I want to tell you about is Idun Minerals Norrsken Liquid Foundation
in the shade Jorunn.
I know, that sounds like a weird name but that's because it's not English.
This is an awesome water-based foundation.
Now, for me what really makes it stand out, what really makes it special, is I don't have
to add white to this foundation.
Hallelujah!
Because I am so tired of adding white to foundation.
I have to do it with most of the foundation that I own, so having one where I don't have
to add white is just amazing.
It's so great.
For this foundation, I don't have to add white.
I do have to set it to make it last a decent of time, so it will last eight or 10 hours,
because otherwise it will wear away.
But it is a beautiful, radiant foundation.
I love how it looks on me.
I think it is amazing.
It's only $28 and you can almost always find a 20% coupon on Idun Minerals' Instagram,
so if you are interested in trying this foundation, check their Instagram for a coupon first.
It is a beautiful, ultra pale, neutral.
So pretty!
So, the next foundation that I want to talk to you about I really like it.
It's almost perfect.
It would be perfect if I didn't have to add white to it, and that is The Ordinary Serum
Foundation in the shade 1NS.
The shade 1N is too dark.
Shade 1NS is really close, but I still have to add white to it or else it's too dark for
my skin tone.
I actually bought two backup boxes of it in case they decide to discontinue it.
My hope though, is that they'll come out with a lighter shade so I don't have to add white
to it.
That would be amazing.
This foundation is really great and I can get over 14 hours of wear with it, with it
still looking pretty much awesome.
But I do have put it on in a very specific way.
I have to put it on with The Ordinary Serum ... I have to use The Ordinary's Primer, and
then use this foundation, and then set it, and then do the rest of my makeup, and then
use a setting spray, and it will last for 14 or more hours.
I did that when I went to Las Vegas.
It looked awesome.
So I love that, but I wish I didn't have to add white.
Having to add white to everything is so annoying.
So please, Deciem make this in a lighter shade.
A lighter pale, neutral would be awesome.
Anyways, regardless of the fact that I have to add white, the other thing that I think
is really appealing about this foundation is that it's only $6.70, so it's super cheap.
It's cheaper than most of the drug store foundations you will find, and it's cruelty-free, and
it's vegan.
Just, ah.
For dry skin like mine, it's amazing because it manages to hydrate, it doesn't cling to
any dry patches, it doesn't settle in fine lines, it just looks good.
You'll have to check it out.
The final foundation I want to talk to you about is the Cle Cosmetics Essence Air Cushion
Foundation.
Cle Cosmetics is a tiny, little, cruelty-free brand that I met at the Las Vegas Cosmoprof.
They're a super, super tiny brand.
This foundation only comes in four shades; light, medium-light, medium, and then medium-deep.
So the shade range is not very good, but like I said, they are a very tiny company.
I don't know that they have more than five employees, they are so small, so I was shocked
to find a foundation that I can wear from them.
This is based off of Korean Beauty, but it's cruelty-free.
They have this really minimalist approach with their packaging.
It's almost all very simplistic and white like this.
I actually really like it.
I like the aesthetic.
This foundation is expensive.
It's $48, but when you buy it, you're buying this foundation plus a refill.
So technically, you're getting two foundations.
So that makes it $24, which is not as bad.
Much easier to swallow in my opinion.
So what I like about is that so far, I haven't had to add white to it.
I haven't done a wear test with it to see how long it will last, and I haven't done
any photos or videos to see how it matches me as the day goes on.
So I don't know if this one actually oxidizes on me or not.
I basically have been using this in leu of using powder foundation because it's really
quick and easy to apply.
Now, I applied it today with this Real Techniques Foundation Brush just to give that a try,
which was really good except for trying to get around my eyes and my brows because this
brush is too big for that.
So to get around my eyes and my brows, I went in with my Kat Von D Concealer Brush, which
was perfect.
So it works really well with a brush.
It comes with this cushion-sponge thing that I really don't like for application but that's
what I was using.
I just really love how it looks on my skin.
I feel like it helps my skin to look radiant and it hides all of my redness and my flaws
and ... I don't know.
I just feel really pretty with it.
It's really quick and easy to apply.
It dries down to a matte finish so I don't have to set it unless I want to, which again,
that's actually really nice.
I feel like it does a really good job of melding with my skin.
I think I mentioned doesn't emphasize any fine lines, pores, anything like that.
I just feel like it covers things up and I look good, so it is excellent, in my opinion,
for dry skin.
Oh, and it looks great on camera.
I think that anytime I've worn this in a video people have been like, "Oh, your skin looks
so good," and I'm like, "Oh, thank you."
So anyway, those are my top six favorite primers and foundations for dry skin.
