Default Which is better: Liquid Foundation or Powder?

I have had acne for a long time and most the time, make-up makes me break out. But I heard about Almay's Clear Complexion Collection, and I decided to try it out. But I'm not sure which one to get:

OR

http://almay.com/Pg/Main/CatProdDet.aspx?catid=31&catnm=Face&subid=241&subn m=Powder&prd=28610&osubnm=Oily
Has any of you bought either of the products? Which one works best?

well, the powder you put up there is actually a blotting powder, not a foundation.

that'd be the powder foundation you'd want, should you choose powder.

liquid:
- feels smoother
- can sometimes soothe dry skin
- can be easy to blend
- good coverage

powder:
- controls shine
- smooths your complexion
- absorbs oil

both have their pros. i haven't tried those specific ones, but i've used both liquid and powder, and...i liked the liquid better.

well, if you need more coverage then i would suggest using liquid, but if not than use powder. And it also depends on your skin type; oily, combination, dry ...

I use a whipped foundation first then I carry a loose powder in my purse and use it if at any time your face gets that shiney look.

You can get water based liquid makeup from Mary Kaye, I think. It's much better than oil based liquid. I don't know much about Almay, sorry.

if u have acne then dont use liquid foundation.. because it has oil it and that makes u break out most of thet time.. you should try the power that keeps ur skin dry and looking beautiful... and it works very welll*
