Confused by cream makeup? Prefer to use powders? Here are 5 Beauty Panel tips for which formula works best
When it comes to the type of makeup formulas you favour, are you a cream makeup kind of girl or more into powders? While this decision is often based on a number of variables—from skin type to climate to favourite makeup brands—it’s good to be well versed in the benefits of both. While some of us like to opt for a creamy texture to achieve that nice evenness on the skin, others prefer powder products for its lighter finished look.
We took the battle of the two textures to our Beauty Panel to see which formula they prefer and to get their best tips for application—as well as favourite product recommendations. After all, if you’ve never indulged with a cream eyeshadow or have been wanting to invest in a new powder blush, it’s good to know how to use them.
Challenge 16: Cream versus powder makeup: Which do you prefer? See the answers now! »
Similar to picking just one favourite nail polish colour, our Beauty Panel memebers have no particular preference between cream and powder makeup—it all comes down to what best delivers a desired look. This Was Forever’s Emily Chan explains that while powder blushes help to give an overall polished look, cream blushes produce a more hydrated appearance. Call It Beauty’s Dani Fuentes prefers using powder makeup because she finds that it lasts longer on her skin, while giving the ultimate coverage she’s striving for. She suggests that it’s always a good idea to know what work best with your skin complexion. And speaking of complexions, summer is always a good time to change up your beauty routine, so why not try out a different formula this season? You never know when you might end up falling in love with a new beauty regiment!
