Full coverage foundation for dry skin?

I’m getting married in the fall and will be doing my own makeup. So I want to start testing some more full coverage options, since in my daily life I usually stick with light/sheer coverage. I tend to have dry patches on the softer skin around my eyes, though my full face isn’t usually entirely dry.

Hi Larissa. I have dry skin as well, and something that I have learned over the years is that we need to apply a primer before the foundation so the foundation won't crack. I have been using MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 foundation, and I'm happy with the results.
However, I'm going to follow this thread because I would like to know about other products. : ) Congratulations on your wedding!

While I have combo/oily skin, my sister has dry skin and we both love this foundation. It's lightweight and makes my skin look flawless! You could even use it on top of a liquid foundation if you want to help set it. :)

Hi Larissa! I have dry skin as well, and I have really been loving the Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-in-1 Foundation and Concealer. It is a full coverage foundation that leaves a satin finish on the skin. I find that it wears all day without accentuating my dry patches. When I want a full coverage look with a bit more dewiness, I mix the foundation with Glossier's FutureDew Oil Serum Hybrid. That combination keeps my skin looking flawless and hydrated all day long :)

I am another vote for Milani Conceal perfect 2 in 1 foundation. I have more combination skin but it holds up and isn't over drying for my dry areas. It is really full coverage and love how it photographs and is long wearing for a full day. I do add a hydrating spray and primer before but I am very happy with how good it is at it's price point.
