I always receive emails from the readers of this blog wondering about the same question so I decided to answer this here once and for all. There really isn’t a “YES” or “NO” answer rather, it depends on you, your skin type, and what your comfort levels are. Here are the pros and cons of liquid and powder foundation:

Liquid Foundation Pros:

• Last Long ( If worn correctly)
• Better and more complete coverage
• Best for dry skin

Powder Foundation Pros:

• Lighter than liquid foundation
• Best for oily skin (helps to soak up oil)
• Generally easier to apply (depends on how you use it)

Liquid Foundation Cons:

• Heavier than powder foundation
• Better to set it with powder

Powder Foundation Cons:

• Heavier than powder foundation
• Better to set it with powder

These are the general pros and cons when comparing liquid foundations and powder foundations. I’ve found that liquid foundations work best for dry skin types. You should go for a powder foundation if you have oily skin. Why? because the powder helps to soak up the oil on your skin.
