One Response for "What is the difference between all the different types of makeup?"

   OK, I will try my best at this one but your question is a little vague. I say this because; liquid makup or foundation is a base layer. There are all different kinds on the market with all different ingrediants. Liquid is used as a "primer’ if you will, for the rest of your make-up to sit on. Unless you are including blush and eye make-up in this in which case you would use these just like powder blush and eyes.

   2) Pressed powder and compact make-up, I’ve always seen these as the same thing. The exception is that I only use these for touch-ups ie…to powder you nose and take off the shine. Unless like stated above you are including eyes and blush etc….

   He’s a tip….research. I use mineral make-up and other all natural products. If you have nice skin you don’t need foundaton. I think this is a mistake that a lot of people make. Not everyone needs foundation. I used a little concelor and mineral powder. My eye make-up is powder and even my mascera is all natural.

   Do some research at Sephora, they carry a lot of natural products. Also, google "all natural make-up". I have always had allergies and its been hard for me to find the right stuff for my face. This should help you.

   If you have nice skn, some blush, light eye ake-up and a light liner and mascara should be all that you need along with a pretty gloss. If you don’t have nice skin, fixing you blemish problem should be first on your list BEFORE you buy make-up. Nothing looks worse than a girl trying to cover up blemishes. It’s better fixed first. Because some make-up will actually make things worse. I hope this helps.
