Usually in a woman's cosmetic bag, you can find both of these remedies, and use them together, but often you want to take just one thing. Therefore, the question of what to give preference to, that it is better to use powder or foundation, is very relevant.
What works best - powder or foundation?
Each of these cosmetics has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The powder slightly dehydrates the skin, it gives it an external velvety and matte shade, while smoothing the complexion, but visual defects (redness, dark spots) are more difficult to disguise.
The tonal cream helps to make the skin one-color, with the help of it you can disguise circles under the eyes , freckles, traces of rashes and weak inflammations, but it does not matte the skin and can not eliminate the greasy sheen.
In addition, recently used a great popularity of combined funds, the so-called cream powder. They have a soft, creamy texture, applied just like a foundation, but they create a powder effect on the face, maturing the skin and without drying it, because they are considered to be one of the best means of such a plan.
Toned cream and powder for different skin types
The better to use, powder or foundation, for each woman is determined individually and depends primarily on her skin type:
- For normal skin, both these drugs are equally suitable. For daytime make-up, a foundation is more preferable, and powder will look better as a basis for evening make-up.
- For dry skin, the use of powder is undesirable, since even the best products have a slight drying effect, and on the skin of this type, the powder will not hold properly. For women with dry skin, it is best to use a foundation with an additional moisturizing effect.
- For oily skin, vice versa is better suited, as it absorbs excess sebum and hides a greasy shine. If there is a need to still use a foundation, then you need
choose the least greasy, easily absorbed. - For combination skin, tonal selection is the most difficult, and the most convenient choice is the combination of cream powder .
In addition to taking into account the type of skin, the choice of a cosmetic product may depend on the weather. It is believed that in winter it is preferable to have a greasy remedy, a foundation, since it can additionally protect the skin, whereas in the summer it is better to dispense with tonal funds or use powder, because it is easier and less clogs the pores.
