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

I've been using mineral powder - and when I look closely I see that the finish is quite nice. It's easy to buff into my skin and not get streaks. Having said that I still like the feel of liquid foundation. I haven't been wearing foundation long (6 months) so I'm still trying to find what works best and in what weather conditions. I'm thinking the mineral powder will be good for the humid months coming soon.

i am a devout fan of mineral. i never have liked liquid, it just looks and feels too heavy

I prefer mineral foundation too. It seems to feel lighter and more natural than liquid.

I live in arizona and specially with the heat I use mineral, I have bounced by using liquid/mineral combos during the winter months but the heavy feel if it is just too much. I definitely say go mineral!

I like both mineral and foundation...i like the look of make up showing im a dramatic look type of girl...i love dramatic make up : ) with beautiful eyeshadow colors...mineral make does look like its natural make up but depending on what foundation you use it can do the same. i dont use mineral make up anymore because it makes my face really dry...any powder makes my face dry but when i wear foudation it doesnt do that even though its oil free...and i use Chanel foundation i love it!

I like liquid best. I must be messy because I get the mineral kind all over my shirt etc. lol

I have this kind that is an all in one..It comes in a container that looks like a powder container, but it's a mix between a liquid/powder!

I love mineral foundation. It's so much easier to apply and get even coverage and you never get that make-up line. It's also much lighter and can feel like you're not wearing any makeup at all.

Hi there!

I would go with mineral foundation. More natural based foundation will go on more sheer and is far better for your skin. Some of the heavier foundations are loaded with bad stuff for your skin (dyes and chemicals). I have a great mineral-based foundation that's botanically-based . It's the best foundation!

This has some great tips I've read about--quick, easy make-up tricks and really simple tricks. Foundation is one of the musts.

Seems like mineral based is the trend right now... I dont really wear any except for bronzer/powder, but maybe I'll give that a shot.
