Celebrity makeup artist Elizabeth Seropian has a few tips for those with dry skin who need a good primer. “Those with dry skin should look for a hydrating primer that moisturizes and nourishes the skin,” she explains. “Choose primers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and botanical oils for added hydration. Opt for primers with a dewy or luminous finish to create a healthy, hydrated base for makeup.”
Seropian says there are also a few ingredients commonly found in many primers that those with dry skin should avoid. “Avoid primers that contain drying ingredients such as alcohol, fragrance, and harsh chemicals,” she says. “These ingredients can further strip the skin of moisture and add to your dryness. Additionally, silicones and mattifying agents may not be the best choice for dry skin as they can create a barrier that prevents hydration from reaching the skin’s surface. It’s best to look for primers with nourishing and moisturizing ingredients that are gentle and soothing for dry skin.”
