The better foundation: liquid or powder, and WHY?

Question

I have combination-oily skin so would powder be better?

Answer 1

powder. liquid will cause breakouts and clog pores. use a mineral foundation: all natural and it won't clog pores!  

Answer 2

I use a liquid foundation and top it with a powder. Even in my late 20s I'm prone to breakouts, so I use Almay Clear Complexion and am pretty happy with it. The skin on my cheeks is sensitive, and the Almay doesn't irritate it.

Powder foundations, I've found, are disappointing. They're either as fluffy and transparent as just regular powder, or they're kind of gluey in the compact and it's hard to control the delivery.  

Answer 3

Try out liquid foundation, unless you have a real problem with your skin being oily and shiny. Some foundations are formulated to give you a matte finish, others can give you that "glowy" look that a lot of girls love.  

Answer 4

I've heard liquid foundation isnt that great for your skin cause it clogs it. But you could try either pressed powder or loose..like a mineral powder. I use bare minerals and it works great. And maybe try getting a new facewash (oilfree) to help make the oiliness go away. Maybe try Neutrogena. Also you can get special oil blotting face paper. They come in little packs and you can use them to dab your face when you feel like it gets really oily.

Answer 5

I personally like to use liquid foundation,

but I think you have oily skin powder would be better.

Sheer Cover mineral foundation is awesome,

you can buy it online :]
