I need make-up help please!!!

So I have noticed the last 2 months before AF arrives my skin is getting really dry, in patches.  I normally have used a cream to powder type foundation, but this seems to really show off the dry patches.

Any awesome facial moisterizers I should try?  Any foundation formulas that are better for this?

Honestly anything at the drug store that can be recomeended would be appriciated.  Thank you!

    Have you tried a primer before your foundation? I'm sorry I don't have a moisturizer rec, I just use jergens lotion like the rest of my body.

    I do not even know what a primer is, honestly.

    Personally, I think it's worth it to buy a more expensive moisturizing cream even if you just use drug store make up. I would recommend Clinique.

    I have very dry skin on my face. I have had little luck with drugstore moisturizers, sorry to say (Say Yes to Cucumbers is okay if I had to pick) . I really like an Origins "Vitamins" night cream but it's pricey-ish although it lasts a while. For daytime, I use an Oleg Henricksen vitamin C serum and moisturizer which are great.

    My one new favorite trick is Avocado oil -- I apply it after the shower at night before night cream and it seems to have helped a ton and it is not greasy, absorbs right away and is like 7.99 on Amazon for a bottle that lasts forever.

    I agree. Splurge on a moisturizer, and then you can still use inexpensive make-up with it. 

    I also like Clinque (superdefense).

    A primer will really help your foundation set, but not clear your dry patches.

    Try coconut oil - it's awesome for so many things. Should help your dry patches.

    Coconut oil is great and know a number of people who have stopped buying fancy lotions in favor of it.

    This is a combo moisturizer and primer that could also work really well. I haven't tried this exact product but I love my other Smashbox primers.

    This is the primer that I use. BEST. STUFF. EVER. Some of the other Smashbox primers make me break out, but this one is awesome.

    wash your face with ponds cold cream cleanser and then apply the ponds face cream...my skin has been amazing since... other than that i would try Mary Kays normal to dry skin cleanser and moisturizer along with the primer before makeup app...they also have a dry skin foundation too.

    Bioelements!!! The pumice peel is a manual microdermabrasion (a little pricey but totally worth it and lasts a long time) or the Quick Refiner will get rid of those dry patches. They also have a moisturizer for combo skin called Absolute Moisture. You can buy any of this on Ebay much cheaper than from a salon.
