Shop for the foundation that matches your skin tone, works well with your skin type and delivers the amount of coverage you need. Oily skin is best suited to a powder or creme base, while dry skin will look more hydrated with the help of a liquid formulation. If your dusty skin is relatively blemish-free, stick with light to medium coverage. On the other hand, feel free to use an intensive coverage foundation if your skin breaks out regularly. Dusty-skinned beauties with no blemish breakouts can even use a foundation with very fine light-reflective particles for a complexion that appears to glow.

Dot and blend an oil-free moisturizer on a clean face. After about 5 minutes, press a facial tissue onto your skin to lift away excess product. Squirt a pinch of face primer into your palm and blend it from the center of your face outwards. Prepping your skin for makeup is important if you want your foundation to go on even more smoothly and last longer throughout the day.

Blend an even coat of foundation on your face. Buff away any demarcation lines with a makeup wedge for the most natural-looking coverage. Set your foundation with a light dusting of translucent powder, lightly applied with a large fluffy face brush.

Apply a blush that is a more vibrant version of your natural flush to the apples of your cheeks. Use a blush with the same texture as your foundation for flawless--not cakey--skin; wrinkly, crepe-like skin resulting from the wrong combination of makeup formulas is especially unflattering if you have a dusty complexion. Fade any hard lines in your application with the makeup wedge for a seamless finish.

Tips & Warnings
Combine a healthy skin care routine with your makeup regimen to make the most of your dusty skin. Aside from washing and moisturizing your face with the skin care products appropriate for your skin type, you can also apply a facial lotion to eliminate freckles you weren't born with, which are known as "sun spots."
