Q:What type of foundation do most women prefer, mineral powder or liquid?

A: Having worked with both types of foundation on many women, it really comes down to a choice between ingredients and coverage. Women who prefer mineral makeup like it for its' lack of ingredients and its' staying power. On the downside, mineral makeup is messier to work with and there is a technique to its successful application.

Liquid foundation is certainly easier to work with and apply but has a tendency to be 'eaten' by the skin. Have you ever looked at your face at the end of the day and wondered where the foundation has gone?

Thankfully, the new liquid mineral foundations appearing on the market seem to be a welcome combination of the two.
