I chat about my oily skin all the time here in the blog, but now I thought I would share makeup tips for you who have dry skin :)
Many people say that a person with dry skin should use a liquid oil-based and moisturizing foundation, and that is of course great but not a must either. I think the most important thing is to be careful with the basics and supplement with several products that help on the stack.
I had invested in the following products:
A face primer for dry skin
2. A foundation I like
A lustrous powder
4. A moisturizing spray (face mist)
1. Face primer for dry skin
A face primer prepares the skin before the make-up, so that you get a smoother and easier-to-work surface. There are primers that have an all-in-one function, but the very best thing is to choose one that is there for your specific needs, in this case a primer for dry skin. This will partly make it easier to apply the basic make-up and get a nice result, but will also moisturize the skin and extend the durability of your make-up. The basic make-up on a dry skin is otherwise easy to "fall off" during the day, but a primer + moisture makes it sit better.
Use a foundation you like!
If you like liquid or powder form is a matter of taste and the most important thing I think is that you should like your foundation. If you like liquid, feel free to choose an oil-based foundation that moisturizes the skin. But mineral powder also works on dry skin, although many claim that it is not recommended. A dry skin can also be sensitive and then it is great with a product that contains few ingredients - then the risk is less that it contains something that irritates the skin. Here you can read my help page on creativemakeup.se with tips on how to get a good foundation with mineral makeup + dry skin.
Luminous pillows
A dry skin can often look a bit dull and lifeless, then a lustrous powder is perfect! Apply either a super-thin layer all over the face or on only certain parts such as the nose bones, cheekbones, chin and forehead. Then you get a nice Victoria Secret glow :)
4. Moisture spray
A skin that is so dry that it flakes often looks powdery, and the flakes can sometimes be highlighted. Then a moisture spray is great to use immediately after laying the foundation. A moisturizing spray is like a skin lotion in a more water form that you can spray on your face during the day - even with make-up on. It moisturizes, both removes the powdery feeling and makes the flakes less visible / not at all. Extra good for you who do not have a foundation that moisturizes!
Products I recommend:
Paese Make Up Base - Face primer that is super good, one moisturizes and the other gives luster and it is also possible to mix them. Read more at creativemakeup.se!

Contains, among other things, rose water and extracts from cucumber and witch hazel which together soothe and moisturize the skin. Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
YAG Mineral foundation do you all know that I love :) Take the opportunity to read the reviews - most people who write have dry and sensitive skin and think it works great!
Hope the post was helpful!
Facemist is the shit when you have dry skin! I always get dry on my nose = the make-up can crackle but a facemist usually "cures" the problem :)
