With so many different types of foundations on the market today, it’s hard to know which one to choose.
If you’re new to the makeup world, deciding between liquid foundation and powder foundation can be confusing.
Both types have their pros and cons so which one do you pick? The answer depends on your skin type, the level of coverage you need, and what kind of finish you want.
Liquid foundations have a thin formula that gives light to full coverage, powder foundations have a dry formula that gives less coverage.
Liquid foundations are either water-based, silicone-based, or oil-based. Some liquid foundations like BB creams might also include sunscreen protection.
They offer buildable light to full coverage with the ability of hiding blemishes with only one layer of foundation.
Liquid foundations are also suitable for all skin types which means that there is something for everyone.
For example, people with oily skin look for liquid foundations with matte or satin finishes such as the FVFace Foundation
When using your hands, make sure they are clean. Start with a small amount of foundation and rub the product between your palms. Pat it on the skin and rub it as you move along. Keep blending until you get a seamless look.
Applying a liquid foundation with a makeup sponge gives the skin the most natural look. Sponges absorb the excess product to avoid the foundation from looking cakey.
Brushes offer more coverage, but some of them tend to leave little streaks and lines on the skin. Make sure to use a small buffing brush and apply the foundation in a gentle circular motion to prevent streaks.
A lightweight and moisturizing liquid foundation can be the perfect foundation for winter because it helps to hydrate the skin during cold days.
