The difference between liquid and powder foundation and when to use them

Since we live in a tropical country (Jamaica),  powder foundation is usually better for oily skin, easier & quicker to apply than liquid and more used during the summer because people are oily and it’s so hot. Just make sure to moisturize well before applying the powder so your face doesn’t look dry!

Liquid foundation usually has more coverage than powders. Therefore, it’s better for dry skin because it’s more hydrating and doesn’t have a matte finish. Liquid foundation are used any time of the year and especially in December  when the skin gets dry and tends to look a little more natural because a matte, powdery finish doesn’t look the most natural.

If you have very little to cover and want to keep any shine away, you can apply one layer of powder. It will definitely work well for a quick makeup routine.

 If you have a lot to cover like acne and scars,  you’re going to need to use concealer under the powder or use liquid foundation to get fuller coverage.

Apply foundation and then a light layer of powder over it which will help your liquid foundation to last longer.
As you can see they  both have their pros and cons, therefore, you should choose which one works best for you :)

Have a wonderful day. Remember no matter how much makeup you wear, it does not mask an ugly heart. Be kind, Live positive and be positive.
