Powder foundation is a light to medium foundation that can be applied with a sponge or a brush. Liquid foundation is the thickest of the four and is usually used by women with very oily skin because it makes their skin feel silky. Cream foundation is the average color and can either be oil-based or oil-less. Airbrush Foundation is the one which is most trending now a days and is applied evenly with the help of an airbrush gun.

For the best coverage, use a primer before using a powder foundation. To make the most of the powder foundation, build up the base with fingers or a sponge until it is entirely even. This type of foundation is most commonly used on the upper lid and around the eyes. It can also be used on the lower lash line.

Liquid foundation

The primer helps to create a smoother surface and keeps the makeup in place. Anytime the liquid foundation is used, the primer is still needed to keep the makeup from rubbing off. Some women prefer to use primer after applying the liquid foundation. This allows them to ensure that the primer stays on the face and doesn't get rubbed off. Liquid foundation is applied with the help of a sponge or fingertips.

Airbrush makeup

Airbrush makeup is popular because it creates a natural look. Women who work out can use these types of the foundation by spraying the product along the face. Using an airbrush gun helps to cover more area than using a sponge or brush. When using an airbrush, it is important to make sure the foundation is at least 2 inches away from the face. When using a liquid foundation, it should be applied uniformly from the outside inwards towards the inner corners of the face.
