Smooth your smacker.
Dead, dry skin can’t hold moisture, or your lip gloss. Exfoliate your lips once a week with a homemade mixture of sugar and honey.

Pass on the powder.
No matter what the sales person at the cosmetics counter tells you, if your skin is prone to flaking you do not need to wear powder, says Boston makeup artist Dana Chasen Thomases. If your skin is dry, but you occasionally get shiny in your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), you can dust a bit of powder just in the center of your face over those areas. Otherwise, skip it altogether.

Choose the right lip formula.
If your lips get dry easily, avoid matte lipstick or long-wearing formulas, as they will contribute to dryness. Stick to lip gloss or sheer lipstick. Both make your lips look and feel juicier.

Tote an instant skin refresher with you.
For a midday moisture boost, you can carry a travel-sized hydrating toner. A few spritzes over your makeup will help balance dry skin and keep your makeup from flaking off.
Drink more water.
If your skin and lips tend to be dry, it might help to examine your diet. Are you drinking enough water? A diet filled with a lot of caffeine, alcohol, or sugar could be contributing to your lips feeling parched.

Look for liquids and creams.
If your skin is prone to flaking or dry patches, use liquid or cream foundations that contain oil. Don't need a lot of coverage? Try a tinted moisturizer

Don't skimp on moisturizer.
By definition, dry skin produces very little oil, so using moisturizer to help balance your skin's natural dryness is essential. Instead of a lotion, use a thicker cream that specifically caters to dry skin types.
