What order would you apply?
Tinted Moisturizer
Primer
Foundation (obviously this would go last, so I guess Im asking about the first two)
I cant put any foundation on without a tinted moisturizer bc i have THE dryest skin. Ive used Cliniques for years and love it. I also just ordered the Smashbox Photofinish in the yellow and their High Def foundation.

Re: What order would you apply?
You really don't need foundation if you are using tinted moisturizer. Tinted moisturizer just gives really sheer coverage without using anything else. I actually only use it in the summer.
But, the order you have it in is the order I do it, so
moisturizer
primer
foundation
One thing about primers, is that if it is oil free, it will dry out your face (I get oily with make up so this is what I was told at Sephora and they gave me an oil free one).

Re: What order would you apply?
thanks...I definitely need more than just a tinted moisturizer....my complexion is horrid. Today, I have on tinited moisturizer, foundation and Mac pressed powder and you can STILL see all the redness on my face through it. So I need a color correcting primer for that reason too! UGH!

Re: What order would you apply?
I am not sure if you have tried Smashbox Photofinish, but they have a green color primer which is the color correction for redness and I have used it. It really does work nicely.

have you tried Benefit Hello Flawless? I know you like their products, but I love that stuff when I have something to hide...

Re: What order would you apply?
I have really dry skin too. I get little flakes on my nose all the time and it used to hurt putting foundation on. I could feel it almost automatically dry my face out.
Do you do the clinique 3 step? That has helped me so much. Sometimes aka most of the time when I don't have time for all three I just use the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion and it makes a huge difference.

Re: What order would you apply?
I don't find that tinted moisturizer actually moisturizes as well as "real" moisturizer. I consider it more makeup than moisturizer. I always use true moisturizer as well.
moisturizer
primer
"tinted" moisturizer
powder as needed
(I have two tinted moisturizers - LM and Kiehls. I use the LM with primer when I'm really doing my makeup. For everyday kicking around casual I'll use the Kielhs, just adding a touch of it to my regular Kielhs facial moisturizer in my hand and thats that - no primer).

Hello flawless is a powder based concealing foundation that is AMAZING!..Doesn't feel dry, I don't even use the concealer when I use it anymore...also, Philosophy makes a moisturizing "clear" make-up called The Present, that I put on, then let dry, then put on Hello Flawless...both are staples to me!

Re: What order would you apply?
Do you use a regular moisturizer first?
That will add more moisture than the tinted moisturizer. You may want to look for one that says "calming" or "reduces redness."
I do:
moisturizer
primer
foundation
If you still want the tinted moisturizer, I'd say put it on between primer & foundation.

thats, I do moisturize first, but Im SOOOO dry no matter how much I put on, my makeup just cakes on in the flaky spots, so Im kind of addicted to my tinted moisturizer. Its REALLY sheer so its not like an entire other layer of makeup per se.
When my primer arrives, Ill try it without the tinted moist. first and see what happens. Thanks!
