What shall i choose? Powder or Foundation, what is better? How often did you ask yourself this question? Lets look into the topic slightly deeper. Right choice based on the skin needs.  Matter fact quite often i choose to work with both products.

 What does foundation do? 

Foundations have different textures such as liquid and creamy and help to build proper coverage.  Thickness of the layer depends on features each any any products.  For instance, i suggest to use foundation if you need to cover any imperfections, scars, acne, pimples and etc.  As a suggestion i can name few my Favorite foundations: Lancome Tint idol, Shiseido Skin Glow, Estee Lauder.  

What does powder do?

However  i find foundations more useful, lets have a look at powders.  Therefore Modern manufactures produce compacts in powder form. Powders provide less coverage. The main goal of powder is achiving equal skin colour,matte effect and smooth relief. If you are looking for stronger coverage powder won’t be able to achieve this effect.  Top my must have powders: Laura Mercier, Hourglass, Charlotte Tilbury, Becca, Sensai, Shiseido 

I personally recommend  to you both products at the same time. Foundation will help you to hide any kind of imperfections (of course don’t forget about skin prep) and in addition fix foundation with translucent powder. In conclusion powder is just an assistant product but not a individual product.

I strongly suggest to follow the basic steps of make up to achieve perfect skin tone 🙂
