Learn to choose the best formula for your skin!

When it comes to choosing the best foundation for you, there are a lot of factors to consider. You want to make sure you are using the best formula to help combat mid-day shine, prevent acne, hydrate dry skin, and cover blemishes, just to name a few. Makeup wearers everywhere tend to see an advertisement for a powder or liquid foundation and assume their skin will look similar to the image, without taking their personal needs into consideration. So which foundation formula would work best for you? Keep reading to see the pros and cons of each to help narrow down your quest for the perfect coverage!

Liquid Foundation

Flawless full-face coverage

Do you prefer a full coverage, dewy appearance? If so, then choosing a liquid formula can give you the finish you desire. A liquid foundation tends to cover pesky imperfections well, while also keeping skin prone to dehydration well moisturized. Liquid foundations also help to smooth away lines and wrinkles much better than powder foundation, which can leave aging woes more pronounced since powders tend to cake into crevices. What if you have oily skin, but have imperfections and wrinkles you would like to cover? Nowadays, liquid foundations come in many formulations based on skin type, so you can cover imperfections while obtaining oil control. Another option would be to use a finishing powder to help set your perfectly applied makeup and give you great oil-control throughout the day.

Powder Foundation

Powder gives your sheer, customizable coverage.

Powder foundations are perfect for those who want coverage options, oily, or sensitive skin. Powders, whether loose or pressed, offer flexible and buildable coverage. You can easily apply a sheer amount to even out and smooth your complexion or you can customize and build your coverage as needed. Oily and sensitive skin wearers do well with powders, because they have oil absorbing ingredients and are hypoallergenic, meaning it is less likely to cause irritation or clog pores.
