I have dry, sensitive skin with rosacea, I would like to get a foundation that is not drying. I tried bare minerals serum foundation but it left my face looking dry and it went into my pores. Also would I need a primer? If anyone has any suggestions would be great. thanks !!!

I'm sorry I don't have any recommendations for you. I too have rosacea and my skin care and makeup have been on hold. I'm so out of the makeup loop that when I was looking at drugstore brands I was so confused on all of it that I left without trying any. I have no idea what bb and cc cream is. Is it foundation-i don't know. But anyway, I'm going to go to Macy's next weekend and check into the clinique redness solution. I will see what foundations they recommend. I will ask about dry skin too. I will let you know what they say. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful and I hope more people help you out.

My skin dr. said Almay was good, I was looking at the Wake-up collection it has hydration in it and Paula Choice gave it the best rating so I was thinking about getting that.

I have rosacea and for makeup it is very individual-you have to try it out for size. I order products from Sephora b/c they have a generous return policy. Use only 1 new product at a time so if you have a flare you can identify the culprit. I have also put a product away and tried it a week or so later and had no reaction-so go figure. I use Bobbi Brown Skin, Chanel Aqua Lumiere, or Erno Laszlo mousse foundation. They are expensive, but work for me. When I first got rosacea I used Clinique and that is what I would suggest for you.

If you don't mind spending a bit of money, I would say try Guerlain - 'Lingerie de Peau' Invisible Skin-Fusion Foundation. I love it and its a light liquid that wears well and covers without being heavy. I recommend going to a store that carries it like Nordstrom, Saks, Neiman Marcus or Sephora and getting a sample to try it for a few days to see if you like it. I always use a primer but even when I skip that step, it looks good and lies well on my skin.

Paula's Choice Resist Foundation!

Tigriss, isn't that one that got best ratings too on her site? I may have to try that.

[Tigriss]

Yeah. I really like it for coverage and feel. There isn't any sunscreen in it, but I use a mineral powder with sunscreen. I did just order her sunscreen to try since it won't clog pores on my face and is SPF50.

This was going to be my recommendation as well. OP, there's a primer built in, but if you feel the need to put a separate primer on first, I highly recommend IT's No. 50.
