Cream foundations can be great for those with dry skin or mature skin as they tend to be slightly richer in consistency and more hydrating. Not only do they quench dry skin, but they also look more flattering on fine lines. However, if you're after a truly weightless finish, this is harder to find in a cream formula.
Liquid foundations, on the other hand, can be great for quick application and more of a lightweight consistency. They can range from velvety matte to fresh and glowy, so it’s important to narrow down which finish you’re looking for. If you want to manage a particular skin concern – e.g. oiliness – but you also want something lightweight and undetectable, liquids can be great to tick both boxes.
