6. THE BODY SHOP Moisture Foundation SPF15: Price- Rs 1295 for 30ml
While TBS makeup might not be so popular with our team, but their foundation receives alot of love from our dry skinned members. The TBS foundation instantly hydrates the skin making it a boon for dehydrated and dry skin. Despite the hydrating texture it feels lightweight and blends seamlessly giving a natural finish. It has a light-medium coverage and is one of the best foundation for dry skin in India.
7. L’Oreal 24H Infallible Foundation: Price – Rs 1325 for 30ml
This drugstore foundation for dry skin has a thick and creamy texture which spreads evenly. The coverage is medium but can be built upto a full coverage by layering. The finish is satin, something between dewy and matte which will not make your skin look oily in summers or under harsh lighting, The price is slightly on the higher side for a drugstore product, but it is worth every penny!
8. Bourjois Happy Light Foundation: Price- Rs 1485 for 30ml
Bourjois makes some great dewy foundations for dry skin but our personal favorite is the Happy Light variant. This light-medium foundation blends easily into the skin. It gives a natural glowing finish perfect for everyday wear. The beauty of the product is that it suits both dry and oily skin and the only downside is its slightly expensive price tag.
9. Kryolan Ultra Foundation: Price – Rs 900 for 15gms
This is another amazing product which is worth every penny! It’s a heavy duty foundation which provides full coverage, hiding all blemishes easily. Since it has a thick consistency, blending requires some effort. It provides a nice dewy finish to the skin and we recommend this over the Kryolan Supra Foundation as this is made of natural oils while the latter is made of mineral oil. Available in a wide range of shades, the foundation is also available in refill sizes making it even more affordable. A highly recommended for foundation for dry skin.

10. Colorbar Full Cover Makeup Stick SPF 30: Price- Rs 675 for 9gms
This is a foundation in a stick form and due its creamy texture, its very suitable for dry skin. It blends easily and does not stick to dry patches though adequate moisturization is always necessary for any foundation to go on smoother. The Colorbar Stick Foundation gives medium to full coverage and can also be used a concealer. Only downside is that it creases on humid days so best to top it powder and the shade selection is also quite limited.

You can include lancome Teint Miracle foundation, YSL touche Eclat foundation and Chanel Vitalumiere.. excellent picks for dry skin :D
On the revlon colorstay bottle it is mentioned for oily to normal skin. Is it so? I have dry skin and no foundation can hide my dry patches I definitely wanted a post like this. I currently use only MUFE HD foundation or airbrush kit. They both work well for me.
