Is it better to use liquid foundation or cushion?

I always feel undecided when choosing between liquid foundation and air cushion, because I think both are good. Liquid foundation and air cushion look similar in terms of packaging, but one is powdered and the other is solid, which are completely different. A bigger difference is that liquid foundation is more hygienic and more convenient, so it depends on personal choice.

1. Which is better, liquid foundation or air cushion BB?

1. From the packaging

Liquid foundation: Liquid foundation is packaged in push bottles, squeeze tubes, etc. You can apply it by squeezing it out, which is convenient and hygienic to use.

Air cushion: The air cushion foundation is made of a sponge with countless fine pores that fully absorbs the liquid foundation into a powder core. The packaging also uses a powder box similar to a powder cake, and the powder box will have its own air cushion puff and a small mirror. The packaging of air cushion foundation is easier to carry and more convenient to touch up makeup when going out.

Which one is better: Liquid foundation is more hygienic, while air cushion is more convenient and quicker.

2. From the perspective of makeup techniques

Liquid foundation: Liquid foundation can be applied with a sponge or foundation brush, or you can apply it evenly on the face directly with your hands. When you go out to touch up your makeup, you can only use your hands to dip a little foundation and then pat it on your face.

Air cushion: The air cushion foundation has its own air cushion puff. Use the puff to lightly press the air cushion foundation to obtain the powder cream, and gently pat it on the face to apply makeup. You don’t have to worry about getting your hands dirty when using the air cushion foundation.

3. From the perspective of makeup effect

Liquid foundation: Liquid foundation is easy to dry and uneven after application. If moisturizing work is not done properly before applying makeup, dry skin may cause cracking and peeling.

Air cushion: The air cushion foundation is finer in powder texture than liquid foundation, and the makeup looks natural and clear. The patting makeup technique makes the foundation fit better with the skin, and there is no need to worry about uneven application.

4. From the perspective of long-lasting concealer

Liquid foundation: Many liquid foundations on the market have very good durability and can last for 8 hours! The texture of the liquid foundation is relatively thick, so you don’t have to worry about the coverage as long as it is not a light foundation.

Air cushion: Most air cushion foundations are moisturizing, so the makeup lastingness and concealing effect are very average, and makeup needs to be touched up every 4-5 hours. Air cushion foundation focuses on natural and clear makeup effect. The air cushion foundation has a general concealing effect. Those who want to cover large blemishes need to use concealer after applying foundation.

Which is better: Liquid foundation has better coverage and durability

2. Advantages and disadvantages of liquid foundation

Advantages: Compared with BB cream, liquid foundation is more moisturizing; it can modify skin tone, resist dust and protect the skin; after application, it can make the skin delicate, smooth, white, and can cover some lighter blemishes.

Disadvantages: Most foundations on the market contain mercury and many other chemical ingredients, which will naturally harm the skin over time; liquid foundation does more harm to the skin than good, and long-term use will clog the pores and make the skin dry and dull; liquid foundation must be used with a makeup remover, and long-term use of makeup removers will cause the skin's keratin to become thinner, resulting in skin diseases.
