Cream, powder, or liquid foundation?

I don't normally like using foundation day-to-day because I don't have any major blemishes. However, i would like to turn over a new leaf and try it! Maybe even out my skin tone. Do I use cream, powder, or liquid? What does what? What are the pros and cons of each? Thanks!Cream, powder, or liquid foundation?
If your skin is dry definately go with a cream or foundation (but definately not a ';cream to powder';) because you will look cracked with a powder. If you have oily skin go for a powder which will absorb some of the excess moisture. I tend to go for a tinted moisturizer in the summer and a cream foundation in the winter because my skin is a little on the dry side.Cream, powder, or liquid foundation?
If you don't have any major blemishes, powder works quite nicely. I use Neutrogena or Almay; the compact includes this sponge but I throw that out and use a big fluffy makeup brush instead. It evens out my skin tone and looks natural; foundation tends to cake.





For evenings or special events you can use foundation but make sure you use enough moisterizer first so it doesn't cake (unless you have oily skin, you'll want to get a water based foundation). Then finish it off with some powder.





I personally don't use foundation on a daily basis because I think it clogs pores and isn't that great for the skin.
Try a tinted mosturizer. You can get a bottle for about $3 American or $6 Canadian dollars from wet n wild. It's a lotion for your face that is tinted to ad a very small amount of coverage to even out your skin tone.





Cream foundations usally offer full coverage-too much coverage for you





Powder is ok but a little drying





Liquid foundation usally offers full to medium coverage but too much if you have perfect skin.
What I do [I have quite sensitive skin] is moisturise my skin every night, but only lightly. Then when I wake up, I lightly exfoliate my skin and pat it dry, then use a liquid foundation for a base. I then use powder foundation over the top, but only a little; just to get rid of any shiny bits, like my nose can be sometimes. Then use whatever you normally use. The pros of powder foundation are that they are easier on skin, and they allow your skin to breathe, whereas liquid foundation clogs your pores and can be quite heavy on your skin. But if you use both, which I do, I find it quite a good combination, but I guess it's different based on your skin type. :) xo
Cream: many contain oil so leave your skin feeling greasy by the end of the day and you have LOTS of shine on your face.





Liquid: many are pink or orange based so you need to choose your skin shade carefully. it is easily blendable (depending on the brand) and touch-ups are easy to do.





Powder: i prefer mineral if you choose a powder foundation. they are the lightest feeling foundation and provide buildable coverage (sheer-max). many now contain antioxidants as well to keep your skin nourished.
Cream- Thick, creamy, goop. Sort of a mixture between powder and liquid.


Powder- Powdery, easy to apply, messy. Leaves a mess but it is easy to put on,


Liquid- Watery, messy, and probably the best if you don't mind makeup.


Personally, I hate foundation, but if you don't like makeup, powder is the best. If you don't care about the feeling of makeup, then use liquid. I don't like cream at all.
well personally i would go with the liquid coverup because it works wonders! i love the liquid and cant go back to powder anymore. but the cons of liquid is its bad for the enviorment.


as for cream i have never really gotten into that yet.


but my suggestion is you use the liquid to cover up any belemishes or freckles that you want to hide and then powder your whole face with the powder foundation.

ok so:


cream is good but it can sometimes look to thick! and if u have the wrong color its totally bad!


powder is ok... its more noticeable and lets people no u r wearing foundation and sometimes looks like u put chalk all over ur face!


i use liquid cuz it spreads easily around ur face and u can even it out!
Well if you don't have any Major skin issues and just want a nice even tone i would try mineral powder makeup. It makes your skin even and will not even look like your wearing it which is always good. It can sometimes be slightly more expensive though
cream, i like the cream because it goes on easy and its not too runny like liquid and i wouldnt use powder foundation if i were going to wear a little blush (im really pale) so cream works better!!
powder.
I like my liquid foundation but powder is good in the summer to help soak up oil
Mineral make up is the best. Does not run, smudge and blends PERFECTLY!
powder is better for your skin. the others break u out
