Whats better for the face Liquid or Powder foundations?

I have oily/dry skin kinda ofWhats better for the face Liquid or Powder foundations?
The simple answer is if you want more sheer, natural-looking coverage go for a liquid and if you want more matte, concealing coverage go for a powder.





If you have oily skin wear powder because it will absorb the oil. If you have oily skin and you still want to use a liquid foundation, make sure it's oil free (like Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation or MAC Studio Fix).





If you have dry skin wear a liquid because it will add shine and luminosity to your skin and won't wear off.





If you have fine lines or wrinkles don't wear a powder because it gathers in the creases and will make you look older.





Hope this helps :)Whats better for the face Liquid or Powder foundations?
if you have any dryness, please do not use a powder! it settles in the flakiness and shows up as rougher, scratchy patches on your skin.





try and find an oil-control liquid.





maybelline pure is one option


you can also try one of clinique's liquid foundations. on their website, look for foundations labeled with II, which is a complexion oily in the T-zone, and dry in the cheeks/eyes. some clinique choices:


1. perfectly real make-up


2. superbalanced make-up


3. superfit make-up


4. stay true make-up


5. almost make-up





those are all good choices. i have the exact same skin type, and i'm looking at the superbalanced make-up.





good luck!
I am a huge mineral makeup advocate. It is a powder, and some people don't like that, however just blend a squirt of your facial moisturizer with it for a great liquid foundation that's good for your skin! Traditional liquid foundations have all kinds of nasty ingredients and chemicals, plus most animal test which is just awful.





I use http://Simply-Minerals.com





It is 100% all natural, chemical free, cruelty free, and vegan!
