Id say for oily skin use the compact


and normal/dry use the liquid. I have dry skin and I use liquid.Is liquid foundation better or compact foundation better?
It's not true that oily skin can't handle liquid foundation. I really prefer liquid over compact powder, because liquid can really completely cover blemishes and give you a healthy glow. Compact powder foundation just kind of settles loosely over the blemishes, giving a sickly, ashy look to the skin.
I like the compact foundation a lot (such as cream to powder foundations) because they conceal better. However, the lighter water-based liquid foundations work better in keeping my skin clearer. They seem to clog pores less. Nuetrogena makes a cream to powder foundation that works well on my skin. I have an oily complexion and they make a line of products to help combat blemishes so the foundations smooth, conceal, and prevent my pores from getting so clogged. If I am having a good day and don't need much concealing, Almay's ';Nearly Naked'; foundation is great for me. It goes on so light and keeps my skin clean all day. Also, even though the foundation says it's a cream-to-powder make up, I still find myself needing to use powder over it. It doesn't save me any time or money.
depends on your skin type. for dry skin you can use a liquid and for oily skin, you can us a compact but now they have oil free liquid formulas that are good too.
Compact foundation provides a better thicker coverage if you need it, good for covering acne, scars etc. Liquid foundation is a lighter coverage depending on the type you buy. I have oily skin and use liquid foundation but really you can buy either it just depends on what you prefer.
