Which foundation for dry-ish skin?

[MACaholic76]

So after playing with the NW40 shade, I found it too orangy and have settled for my good ol' nc42. My skin is oily but dry on the surface so I'm looking to purchase a different finish. Should I go with Hyperreal, Studio Tech, or Moistureblend??? Thanks~

my ma recommended studio tech for my dry skin, so i got it in june and it was really good... i like to use it with shimpagne msf or an iridescent powder and it has great coverage and staying power. however it can get cakey if over-applied and is best with the foundation brush. also, if it's super hot outside, it's a big no-no because it melts like crazy.

i've tried hyperreal also and it was pretty great. (my skin is super dry and flaky) i used studio moisture fix underneath and i had no problems with flakiness at all.

Hyper Real is great for making skin look dewy and "alive", especially if you use Strobe Cream or Moisture Feed underneath. However, for dry skin, I always recommend Moistureblend.

My skin is pretty damn dry so I just use a really good moisturizer and then apply foundation.
