Dry skin can be difficult to handle, especially when you apply make up as it can  peel or flare up. In India many woman complain of dry skin especially in winters and here is the best way to apply makeup on dry skin:

Moisturize away: Moisturizing your skin is very important to make the makeup set. Apply your moisturiser at least a good 10 minutes before makeup to let the skin absorb it.

Invest in a quality primer: Get a good primer and apply it on your face. A primer creates a canvas for the makeup to set and look perfect. It also acts as a protective barrier and doesn’t let your dry skin show.

Buy Creamy based products: Prefer a cream based foundation, eyeshadow, concealer and blushers. A cream based cosmetic would not tug your skin and make it itch. Use a foundation which has a hint of shimmer as it will highlight your face while hiding dry spots. Stay away from compact, dry blushes and tints as they increase dryness on the face.

Lip Care: Many people complain of dry and chapped lips. Lipsticks look horrible on dry lips. To get soft and smooth lips exfoliate and apply a coat of lip balm before you begin your makeup. Afterwards dab extra lip balm on a tissue and apply a layer of lipstick. If your lips are parched stay away from matte lip sticks, gloss is your best bet.
