It’s been so long since I’ve worn liquid foundation; it’s just something I only typically wear in the winter. With mineral makeup increasing in popularity and their foundations being mainly powders, I was wondering how many of you stick to powder foundations throughout the winter and how many of you are like me and use liquid and powder in the colder months?
i really stick to liquid cause its very good on my skin…
and i really don’t wash my face to hot water cause it cost dry skin and rough..cold water is good for the skin alot.
During the winter months, I found and fell in love with L’Oreal’s True Blend foundation. It’s water based, no oils, and has no traces of talc in it (even some liquids have talc and I’m really sensitive to it.) Now that it is summer, I have become the seasonal salad dressing…oily face and pool water! I discovered a great product from Cosmedicine called “Medi-Matte Oil Control Lotion SPF20″ It isn’t just a oil controller but is also a hydrator. So in the summer, I don’t need anything else but that. It hides pores great and keeps shine away for over 10 hours on me! Now I use that with my mineral powder foundation over it for a smooth summer look that doesn’t slide down my face!
Thanks again. Yes, I would like to see the reviews about the powder. I really appreciate all of the info you shared. Best Wishes, Judy K.
No problem at all. The Clean and Clear sheets are under $5 [usually, but they last forever], and the UD De-Slick Mattifying Powder is $30. If you’d like some reviews on the powder, I’d be happy to e-mail them to you.

Thanks Sarah, I will try those products. They sound good to me. I’m glad that you let me know about this. Judy K. Chicago.
Judy, you should try blotting sheets to keep oil at bay. Clean and Clear have great sheets, though I believe Biore discontinued theirs. If you would still like to try powder, Urban Decay has a totally invisible powder that doesn’t make skin look cakey OR dry.
Hopefully, you’ll find a solution.

HI AGAIN,
I made a mistake & my post went through before I was finished. Well, I tried the powder over my tinted moisturizer. I now see that the powder does not look good on me at all. So, I will stay with the dewy look. The powders just don’t work for me anymore. All it did was make my face look very dry even with this hot weather. So, I will stick with liquid foundations & also tinted moisturizers.
Those products work the best for me. Have a nice night, everyone. Judy K. Chicago.
HI,
I prefer tinted moisturizer with sun protection. My skin is super dry & for the last yr. I did not use powder. But, now that it is warm, My skin looks too oily without any power over the tinted moisturizer. So, I will have to add a light dusting of powder over that.
In the past when I used powder alone, it made my face look even more dry. I use all kinds of brands because I love makeup so much. Judy K. Chicago
