13
items I have dry skin with some hyperpigmentation and spots on my face, with a light tan, yellowish neutral to cool undertone, so most of my picks here are tested with that skin type and tone in mind.

I've been using this hydrating milky lotion as my go-to makeup base for cosplay, and it's amazing for locking in moisture! It does feel a bit heavy right when I apply it, but after about 10 minutes, it settles into my skin smoothly.
Since I use cream foundation, this lotion pairs so well with it, my makeup stays anti-shift and lasts through long cosplay sessions without budging. Honestly a must-have in my routine if I need my base to hold up all day.

High Coverage Base
dry skin type
Okay if this cream foundation were a person, I would genuinely marry it.
I'm using the yellow orange shade, and this waterproof cream foundation has the craziest full coverage I've ever tried, I don't even bother with concealer anymore because of this.
What I love most is that it doesn't look patchy at all on my dry skin, as long as my skin prep is good beforehand. The staying power is insane too, like if I skip washing my face, this thing probably won't budge for 3 days.
And if you ever want even more coverage, just mix it with another foundation and it instantly bumps up the intensity. Everyone genuinely needs to try this, it's that good.
