Clarins Beauty Flash Balm and Guerlain's Divinora Pure Radiance are really good bases for dry skin.

This is the ONLY Chanel product...500 bucks later (long story..sheesh...) that I still use. I use it to lighten my undereye area and highlight (the Chanel website has more uses). I've had the same container for almost a year...a little goes a long long looooong way and it is well worth the investment IMHO.
The best trick I've seen a makeup artist use with this is blending it with concealer...HOLY MOSES the results are amazing!  It works well under fluid foundation and even MMU (which I use over it).
Anyway...if you go to a chanel counter, they'll probably give you a sample (that's how I got hooked).
Give it a try!!!!
EDIT: I have oily skin too and it works for me! |

Are you referring to her spackle primer?
I ordered this from QVC and it didn't work well for me.
It made me break out...BUT BUT BUT that doesn't mean it will make everyone do the same!
I know folks who love this! |

Sonia Rykiel Treatment Makeup Base - it's supposed to hydrate your skin. Their Supreme Compact Foundation supposedly contains 80% water.
Here are the ingredients - I've yet to see a makeup base with better ingredients (apart from the parabens of course)
Aqua - Butylene Glycol - Glycerin - Mineral Oil - Squalene - Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Seed Extract - Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein - Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract - Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract - Hydrolyzed Conchiolin Protein - Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein - Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract - Mucuna Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract - Nasturtium Officinale Extract - Panax Ginseng Root Extract - Saxifraga Sarmentosa Extract - Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract - Tocopherol Acrylates copolymer - Alcohol - Aluminum Hydroxide - Carbomer - cetearyl Alcohol - DEA-C8-18 - Perfluoroalkylethyl phosphate - Dimethicone - Dipentearythrityl Hexahydroxystearate /Hexastearate/Hexarosinate - Candelilla Wax - Glyceryl Stearate - Glyceryl Stearate SE - Hydrated Silica - Hydrogenated Coconut Oil - Hydrogenated Lecithin - Hydrogenated Palm Oil - Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose - Lecithin - Rice Bran Wax - Paraffin - PEG/PPG-24/60 Copolymer - Petrolatum - Polysorbate 80 - Sodium Hydroxide - Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate - Sorbitan Sesquioleate - Stearic Acid - Talc - Triethanolamine - Triethylhexanoin - Methylparaben - Propylparaben - Fragrance - [May Contain (+/-) Iron Oxides - Mica - Titanium Dioxide]
Phew *wipes sweat from forehead* that was a long list. Although I don't understand most of it, all those extracts in the beginning just makes me feel like it's good for my skin (comparable to other primers). |

Joey NY Correct-a-Line for face is wonderful for use as a primer. Makes pores and wrinkles invisible (although, I don't really think it can "correct" anything except temporarily  ) It contains hyaluronic acid which is good for dry skin and makeup glides on over it. It also looks great on its own  |

| Monistat Chafing powder/gel. Although I have not tried the fancier types, this works great, and is easy to find (and cheap, which doesn't hurt! ) |

| Smashbox Primer all the way! It makes my skin feel like SILK! My MMU goes on very nicely. I've had the same bottle for almost a year now...almost all gone! |

SMASHBOX~my skin feel silky.
I use it with & without foundation-it gets rid of that greasy look you get from high SPF sunscreen. |

| I second/third (whatever) the Smashbox. I've only tried it for a few days and it's amazing. My only other Primer experience has been Laura Mercier and for me there's no comparison. |
