So I really need help choosing a foundation. I recently stopped wearing foundation then moved to a new climate and now my foundation just doesn’t work. Here are my issues: Too Faced Born This Way – it had nice coverage, NEVER tacky and was dewy, which I love for my dry skin. BUT he always stained and sat in any crease. Urban Decay Naked – looked good, but still had a dry powdery finish. They also don’t wear a color that suits me (Medium Olive, they all come out pink or orange) Urban Decay All Nighter – has my best match for color, but is so thick and dry with a very powdery finish. Smashbox 3pm – didn’t cover any flaws and was sticky. The foundations are either pinkish but extremely sticky, or far too dry and appear to be hardened. If anyone knows anything with a nice dew but not tacky finish I would really appreciate the help! I gave the foundations back to Ulta 20 times because they can’t swatch them and I’m almost embarrassed to try another one lol.
I really like the Rare Beauty foundation I just bought. Wears well, covers well. It’s a little dewy but I lightly powder mine.

I’ve really been digging Rimmel lasting finish – the serum one. It’s good coverage and satin/leaning on dewy. Clinique 2 in 1 and CYO lifeproof/S&G kickass foundation are good for dry skin too.
ABH Luminous
NARS sheer glow.
The coverage is I think medium? Or at least it is on me, the finish is nicely radiant and it never dried out my skin.
