BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Cosmetics foundation or powder...

I use a liquid (Mary Kay). But, then I use a powder to set it.

I've always felt that foundation really chokes my skin and I feel it too much. I've used pressed and loose powders for years now and I find I get a great base with them. If you use loose powder, be sure to invest in a really good brush or two.

It's not that I think powder is for oily skin, but it seems to absorb the oil better for me...I find using foundation and powder, my skin feels a lot oilier(is this a word?)..

Anyways, the past month I have been using just a pressed powder and it's made my skin look so much fresher and oil-free and less cakey looking...

I use to do that too but it felt like it was too much for my skin

I personally love very fine loose powder applied with a nice big fluffy brush. It gives me amazing coverage and I don't feel like I'm wearing tonnes because I'm not <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey CC I think I have found it I went to rite aid today and I bought Cover Girl TruBlend its pressed powder light weight it says it can be used alone or over foundation I used it alone and it made me look flawless I was like wow!!! "I'm in love with pressed powder!!!!" then my fiance turned around and said so why dont you marry it? I am so happy now I know I might be jumping the gun to quick maybe I should give it the all day test. I only had it on only for 5 minutes now but I look so good that I had to tell somebody Teeheehee. you girls helped me out so much with foundation or powder. I would never have discover just using powder is better for me if I didnt ran into you girls. Thank you so much.

I always use foundation, powder tickles my beards.
