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.

They give you different coverage.

What is the best loose-powder makeup?
Thanks guys!What is the best loose-powder makeup?
everyday minerals
bare essentials is horrible, HORRIBLE for your skin, the main ingredient is TALC which not only drys out your skin, but causes breakouts and is also very bad for your lungs, its hard to see but when you use powder, smalls bits of it get in the air and you inhale it, and when talc is in it, its really bad.
everyday minerals is one of the few brands that actually is all natural, and good for your skin.What is the best loose-powder makeup?
KRYOLAN
KRYOLAN MAKEUP Has be going 65 years or so !!
I'm guessing you're talking about a foundation makeup? Bare Minerals is more expensive ($25) but well worth the extra money and it lasts a long time. You can buy it online at Sephora or the Bare Minerals site.

What makeup brand would you recommend for foundation and powder?
My skin sometimes gets acne and I feel like it doesn't always look as nice as I want it to, and I'm sure wearing a little makeup would fix that. But I've never really wore it before so I'm not sure what brands to buy...I need something that is very natural looking but will stay on all day..basically something that you really like and thinks works well.What makeup brand would you recommend for foundation and powder?
NEUROTROGENA! (or how ever u spell it) its dermotologist reccommended and its light covers what u need convered and is oil free...it doesn't cause break outs and i use a lil bit of cover girl poweder(just cuz i ahvn't expierment'd w/ nething else.i am happy w/ it) good luck!What makeup brand would you recommend for foundation and powder?
I apply Wet 'N' Wild's Ultimate Cover Foundation with a brush to evenly cover my skin. Then I use Rimmel London's Stay Matte Pressed Powder with another brush evenly over my face, then blush and bronzer or whatever else you want to you. Works for me!
Bare minerals!!
they have foundation%26amp; concealers and they are good for your skin!! (it wont make you break out).
if its too expensive go with almay.
i know it is a bit old school, but i like max factor's pan stick (it's a creme foundation)
avon or covergirl... make sure it matches your skin tone, you dont want the ';mask look';...

Does the powder form of mineral makeup give you the same coverage as a liquid foundation?
To be honest, it truly does depend on the mineral foundation and liquid foundation you are comparing. Several of the known mineral makeup companies give more of a sheer coverage; especially if you apply the MMU dry.
For instance, Sheer Cover, id bareMinerals/BE and Mineral Essence give more of a sheer coverage and they will help soften the look of your flaws, but not really cover them with the MMU powder alone. You'll need to appy a concealer first. Sheer Cover has a concealer that really covers well, but it really isn't mineral...it's more of a traditional concealer. Mineral Essence and BE both have more of a powder concealer or bisque that you'd use first. Mineral Essence I feel gives a nicer coverage than BE though. There are other companies that offer even better coverage with their Mineral Cosmetics.
Lumiere is my favorite and I have a very easy time covering my ruddiness, freckles/sun spots, small scars, etc.. with just the mineral foundation alone. The coverage is more of an easy light medium to buildable heavier...and it doesn't take a lot to get that flawless look. They have 5 different formulas (4 powder %26amp; 1 liquid) for you to choose from; for your skin specific needs. They also carry a healing concealer that is similar to Sheer Cover -being creamy, but is much more natural and is mineral based. It's great for days when you need more concealing. They also have 5 different finishing powder/veils to choose from and each have 3 different tint options. http://www.lumierecosmetics.com
Other things that you need with proper application of MMU, that you may or may not need with a traditional foundation are:
#1) You need to make sure you have a smooth canvas. A good microfiber cloth (like Jane Iredale Magic Mitt or Aquis Mitt/or cloth) with mild cleanser will easily help achieve this.
#2) You must have well moisturized skin and allow your moisturizer to set and soak in for at least 2-5 minutes, before applying your MMU. I personally find natural moisturizers like emu oil work best (I have dry/sensitive skin, but emu works on all skin types).
#3) Your applicators/brushes need to be of a very good quality to achieve the best/most even coverage. I prefer a good Flat Top Buffer the best for medium to heavier coverage, Long Handled Kabuki for light medium to heavier coverage and Kabuki for sheer to light medium coverage. Lumiere's synthetics are my favorite. High quality Italian Badger are also really good (much better than goat or sable hair), but not as soft as most synthetics.
#4) Choosing the right MMU foundation that is best for your skin type is very important. If you have dry and/or sensitive skin, you will most likely not do well with bismuth oxychloride (found in both Sheer Cover %26amp; BE), kaolin clay (found in several MMU companies), talc (found in most drug store brands) or zea mays/cornstarch (found in BE's veil and several other drug store brands cosmetics). If you have oily skin, you will most likely not want a MMU foundation that contains added oils like vitamin E (offered in several brands) or Squalane oil/olive derived (available in Lumiere's Flawless foundation).
Also, if you are use to and prefer the feel, texture, application and look that you get from liquid foundations, then you may do best with applying MMU wet or getting a Liquid Mineral Foundation (I find Jane Iredale Liquid Minerals to be the best for a liquid). For liquid mineral foundation or using a wet method with MMU, I highly recommend using a Duo Fiber Optic brush (Lumiere carries this and it's duped after MAC) or MAC #187...it helps give that flawless, airbrushed %26amp; very natural look without having to use gobs of makeup. I prefer the wet method over using a liquid mineral foundation...for me, it's just way better. I'll use a mix of Lumiere's Cashmere foundation and Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist (you can use any facial mist, hydrosol or even water) --making a very *thin* liquid and then apply with my duo fiber optic....love the finish! You can also use a flocked sponge and this works way better than cosmetic wedges. It'll give a heavier coverage, but I find the duo fiber optic to work better and look more flawless w/ less makeup.Does the powder form of mineral makeup give you the same coverage as a liquid foundation?

Does the powder form of mineral makeup give you the same coverage as a liquid foundation?
Powder, in my opinion, is much better. Liquid tends to look very unatural and does alway go on evenly. It also clogs your poar more and causes break outs.
A powder will give you a even natural look. It will cover up stops and even out your skin toan but wont look like your wearing a mask of makeup.
No, it doesn't. For those it may seem like it does but it's nothing but a glorified powder.
Stick with liquid foundations, especially those that you can apply a few extra layers for more coverage. Then apply a powder for a finished look.
Try puritycosmetics,co,uk. It is really good!
I use the Liquid Powder Minerals from Bee Luscious. It is an oil free liquid and goes on like a liquid. Then dries almost immediately to a powder. NO mess either.
http://www.beeroyalproducts.com/store/ho鈥?/a>
No. Mineral coverage is even better.
Take the coverage of an amazing liquid foundation, minus the mask look and feel... And you have mineral powder.
I also have acne scarring and redness/uneven skin tone. People who can't seem to get the right coverage from mineral makeup are probably doing the application wrong. For problem areas, you need a concealer brush for it to work properly. That is what I use. Also, just by switching to mineral makeup gets rid of a lot of facial problems. My acne went away (haven't had a pimple since and my face is clear) and the redness that I used to have went down a lot.
Although mineral makeup is good for your skin and does good things for it. Remember, It all depends on your skin. Liquid foundation is know to work on all skin types.You see i have combination skin so i get minor redness and breakouts. I have tried mineral makeup and found that it does nothing for me besides make me look cakey. It doesnt cover well and actually brings out the look of a breakout if you have one. While foundation can feel like a mask and run , mineral makeup can feel heavy and dry out your skin ( or just make it look dry) . So i would stick to a good liquid foundation. If used best it looks flawless and traceless. Its when people get the wrong color, use to much e.t.c is when (in my opinion) liquid foundation goes wrong. It covers better for acne and scaring, plus you can always set it with a good powder so you get the best of both worlds. I always use liquid. But if your one of those people with pretty good skin with hardly ever any breakouts, i would recomend mineral makeup and apply a small amount. Not everyone favors the mineral makeup though. It all depends on your skin type. Liquid foundation works on all types of skin. hope i helped %26lt;33
see, i don't prefer this. i need a foundation and powder that really covers.. i have scars from acne. that mineral makeup did nothing for me.. but i hear some people like it. I use Clinique's Superfit foundation... it's the best i've ever used.

They have it cuz I have it. It is the black eyeshadow and you have to get the thin sharp edge brush for it too.
*~*If I were you, I wouldn't use the eyeshadow as an eyeliner. It's pretty, but it doesn't last very long. Try MAC fluidline (eyeliner). It's a gel eyeliner that comes in a variety of colors and it stays put all day, and doesn't budge. Also, when using the fluidline, the best brush to use is the 266 (there's a cheaper alternative linked below as well). There are a couple of links below to help. HTH!! ;) *~*
