3. Choose your formula : Now just because someone told you that you can’t wear powder blushes because you have dry skin, doesn’t mean it is gospel. When it comes to makeup, you can create your own rules whenever and however you want, despite what the convention asks you to follow. The good news it, you can rock powder blushes really well if you have dry and flaky skin, without highlighting the dryness and the flakiness at all! Powder blushes should ideally give you a more shimmery, iridescent look, while cream blushes are more your staple.

If you are going for powder blushes, then you should definitely choose the ones which have a semi-sheer finish, and come in bright, popping colors. This is because powder blushes are ideal for a fun night out, when you want your makeup to reflect your mood- fun, loud and sexy. However, when you are using powder blushes, you have to prep your face better, so that the formula doesn’t absorb all the oil from your face and leave it feeling stretchy and dry. You should check out the powder blushes that come with Vitamins and hydrating formulas. It is also advisable that you moisturize your face, and use a cream based foundation before you apply your blush on your cheekbones. Here are our top picks for powder blushes which are great for dry skin.
