What is makeup primer and what's the difference between cream liquid and powder foundation?

also what's the difference between, broze, blush, and luminizer? I'm so confused, i know nothing about makeup.What is makeup primer and what's the difference between cream liquid and powder foundation?
Makeup primer is what you put on before your makeup. There's foundation primer, eyeshadow primer, and lip primer. They all make the makeup stay on longer and look better.





Liquid foundation is the most common foundation and it's just liquidy. LOL, not much to say about it.





Cream foundation is thicker than liquid foundation and powder foundation is dry, like the consistency of baby powder. Powder foundation can come be either loose or pressed. Loose is going to be the most like baby powder, because it's kinda messy, and pressed powder is what you'll find in compacts.





Bronzer is a product that's meant to give you a look like you've been in the sun a little. It's supposed to be a bit darker than your skin color to make you look a teeny bit tanned.





Blush is what you put on your cheeks to look like you're blushing or a little flushed, like after a run or something.





Luminizer is also known as a highlight. It makes things look brighter, or more prominent. You could put a luminizer in the corner of your eyes to make your eyes look more open.





I hope that helped!! Good luck!

Help finding the right foundation color tone in maybelline mineral powder foundation makeup??

hiiii im asian and im using maybellines mineral powder foundation makeup and i cant seem to find the right color for me;. [ i dont have a good picture of my skin to show you at the moment but i can tell you that i am quite tan but still with a somewhat golden tint ]what color suggestions would you have for me?? thank you(:Help finding the right foundation color tone in maybelline mineral powder foundation makeup??
The basic technique is to take a mirror outside and try different shades, but that seems impossible when your buying inside a store. Try buying a warm (W) warm shade or a shade that has golden in it. If not then,


Try using a bronzer on your cheeks and forehead if your shade is too light. I become very tan in the Summer and instead of trying to do an exact match to my face.. I just do add a bronzer to my routine. It really works! Revlon, Estee Lauder and Bobbi Brown have great bronzers without the hint of pink in them.





I hope this helps!

Flawless powder mineral makeup?

After reading reviews on bareminerals (causes itchiness, breakout) i've been freaking out and i'm planning on returning the starter kit since i haven't opened it yet. Now, i'm looking for another powder mineral makeup that'll give a flawless look. Can anyone suggest me a good brand that won't cause itchiness/breakouts?Flawless powder mineral makeup?
well i don't use the powder, because in my mind it will all cause breakouts, so i started using Dinair airbrush makeup a little over a year ago and i love it!! My skin is really sensitive and always broke out and since this makeup is all water-based it has helped my skin keep from breaking out. Any breakouts i do have it covers them extremely well and makes my skin look really smooth. If you wanna know more about it just go to google and type in Dinair and you'll find their website. Hope this helps...i also hope you can easily return ur starter kit...=(Flawless powder mineral makeup?
As a previous bare minerals user; I am very pleased with Maybelline's mineral power mineral powder. It gives me flawless all day coverage. I've been using it for months and am very pleased with it I have three containers stocked piled. I also use a large kabuki brush. Daily I'm asked what foundation am I wearing.


Hope This Helps
everyday minerals. or the maybelline mineral powder called mineral power i think i heard good things about it. the concealer works rly good
bare minerals made my skin look flawless it didn't make it break out or itchy.


you should try it, because it works different for everyone.it could work great for you
why not try physicians formula, its cheap and affective! you can buy it at drugstores like cvs and walgreens

Hey guys, will my sunblock lose it's efficacy if I add mineral powder/makeup to it?

It has Zinc and I want to get rid of the white cast it leaves on my face by trying to tint using some mineral makeup. Anyone tried this?Hey guys, will my sunblock lose it's efficacy if I add mineral powder/makeup to it?
I've never tried it but I'm sure it would be a great idea. A lot of the mineral powder makeup add extra sun protection, so adding it to sunblock should only make it better.

  • Is liquid makeup or powder makeup better?

    I think powder make up is WAY better because liquid make up looks kinda patchy and cakey...


    Powder looks more NATURAL!


    :)Is liquid makeup or powder makeup better?
    To me the mineral powder makeup seems to work better. If you want some good make up try bare essentials powder makeup.Is liquid makeup or powder makeup better?
    Powder make up is best and the best is Sheercover. It is a mineral powder that covers any flaws on you face. It is lightweight and trust me it works. Go to sheercover.com and see for yourself. I have finally found a foundation that gives you a flawless look. If you are not satisified you can get your money back even if you use all the product. Who gives that kind of guarantee? Trust me its the best!
    i prefer powder just cause it doesn't look trashy and cakey.
    It really depends on the person and the type of skin you have.Personally,i like powder because it doesn't cause you to break out.i'll say,when your're in hot and humid weather liquid is better,because powder comes out faster.just try and see which works better.hope i helped!
    i prefer powder makeup
    depends on your skin tone. if yuor on the oily side, deff go with powder. if your dry or just normal, go liquid cause it gives you a dewey healthy look.
    powder makeup.
    for foundation, I like liquid better. It simply provides better coverage. Liquid shadows also go on nicely, just make sure to have a good base before applying.


    Powder blushes, and shadows are great. But I am not a fan of powder foundation.
    Liquid makeups such as liquid eyeliner, bronzer, and eyeshadow tend to stay on longer but they are harder to remove later in the day and get into your pores. Powder makeup like eyeshadow or blush, etc. smear more easily but they are easier to remove.


    So...they both have their pros and cons.
    powder.... when u use a liquid, it makes most girls look orange/fake/ like they have spent to much time in the tanning beds. powders look the most natural
    depending on your skin type... if you have dry skin liquid make-up is better, If you have oily skin the powder makeup is better. I personally use a mixture of both, it give me a non cakey more natural look. Nutrimetics and Clinique both have excellent ranges in both liquid and powder makeup.


    hope this helps...
    I had used both I prefer liquid make up better. I guess the best is the one you see you look better

    Is is ok to use expired makeup kits; loose powder, compact powder, rouge, lipstick tc?

    Normally the shelf life of comestic is two years, when we purchased it, it can be left with a few months or a year. By the time we used it, it can be three or four years.Is is ok to use expired makeup kits; loose powder, compact powder, rouge, lipstick tc?
    Yes, if they look ok, then I think you can still use them.


    I do all the time ;-)


    If the powder looks cracked, or dry I wouldn't recommend using it or if mascara has dried up, don't use it.


    Hope I helped ;-)Is is ok to use expired makeup kits; loose powder, compact powder, rouge, lipstick tc?
    No I would not use it, it can make your skin break out.
    wd u buy and use expired food from the supermarket or take expired medicines? u can see why that is a bad idea.





    hint: buy makeup only when it runs out, use the makeover counters to experiment with new stuff so u dont end up purchasing stuff u hate.
    expired make up isnt a good idea. its really bad for your skin.
    no. it can cause all sorts of infections.
    No. Never. There are chemicals in there that can really screw up your face once they get expired.
    no you shouldn't use expired makeup. it could create skin rashes and whatnot.

    Makeup- Whats the difference between liquid and powder foundation?

    liquid foundation makes my face look oily by the end of the day and powder foundation just sits on my skin making it look flakey....pls help me xMakeup- Whats the difference between liquid and powder foundation?
    I used to have the SAME problem.. it's cause we have like combination skin.. so the liquid just makes us too oily, and the powder just doesn't work haha..





    I started using Lauren Hutton's Aqua Elements.. it's a mineral based type of foundation.. you can see it here: http://www.laurenhutton.com/aqua-element鈥?/a>





    I absolutely love it! It's the perfect foundation for your skin type.. and there are several shades to choose from, so that you can have the best match for your skin tone.





    Hope this is helpful.Makeup- Whats the difference between liquid and powder foundation?
    Well, the name really explains itself. Liquid is usually a water based formula or some other liquid whereas powder is a powder based formula. I would say you should get a makeup primer to mix in with your liquid foundation. Make sure you are using a good moisturizer. I like Cetaphil because it is gentle and although it looks heavy it isn't greasy at all.
    I'm pretty sure they have non oily liquid foundation. If thats what you want to use, then do some research on it and find some good ones.


    MAC has them. You should try it out.





    All powder foundations make you look kinda' cakey. Using a brush instead of the sponge that comes with it will help it looking less flakey.
    liquid foundation seeps into your pores. get bare minerals. i used to say the same about powder foundation until i switched to BM and i am sold i will never stop using it. it's the best foundation EVERRRR covers every single flaw and makes my skin glow. i love it!
    i use a tinted moisturizer to sort of prime my skin, and then i use a coverage powder over it.


    i use Stila Tinted Moisturizer and Estee Lauder Double Wear Powder
    the use a mixture of both! lolz thats what i do=]





    the liquid is suppose to have the dewy effect, and the powder is just powder.





    Sammy
    They give you different coverage.
