Should liquid foundation and air cushion be used at the same time? What is the difference between liquid foundation and air cushion?

In cosmetics, there is more than one type of base makeup product, in addition to liquid foundation, BB cream and air cushion, so does liquid foundation need to be used together with air cushion? What is the difference between liquid foundation and air cushion?

No need to use them at the same time. Both liquid foundation and air cushion are base makeup products, and they both have a certain ability to cover blemishes, so using them at the same time will make the makeup on the face look heavier. If you have normal skin or a few minor blemishes on your skin, using one of these two products alone is enough to cover the blemishes on the skin. Too thick base makeup on the face will make it difficult for the skin to breathe, and in the long run the skin will be stuffy and have various allergic reactions. If you want the makeup on your face to be more delicate and natural, using one of them is enough. Because liquid foundation is rich in minerals and nutrients, it is more suitable for most skin types.

1. Different concealing power. Air cushion is generally used to create nude makeup effect, while liquid foundation has slightly stronger concealing power and is mainly used to adjust skin tone and concealer. If the skin has prominent uneven skin tone or large pores, liquid foundation should be used with concealer as much as possible to achieve a better base makeup effect.

2. The feeling of use is different. The surface of the air cushion is smooth and does not absorb powder, so you can have a delicate makeup without complicated makeup. Liquid foundation has high requirements for pre-makeup moisturizing work, and requires makeup steps such as finger application and beauty eggs. It requires certain makeup skills, but it will be more durable and adherent.

3. Different portability. The air cushion packaging is small, easy to carry and use, and can be quickly applied and touched up anytime and anywhere. Liquid foundation is usually in bottles, which is not easy to carry when going out, and needs to be placed in a fixed place after use.

4. Different textures. Air cushion is thin, delicate and clear, and is made of powder cores that absorb foundation. Liquid foundation is liquid, with a thick, greasy and rough texture, composed of oil, water and powdery substances.

5. Different durability. Although liquid foundation is more difficult to touch up, it will last longer than air cushion and keep the makeup clean.

Both liquid foundation and air cushion are a type of base makeup, and have the same functions as general base makeup, such as concealing blemishes, adjusting skin tone, hiding pores, and sun protection. Therefore, we cannot judge which one is better to use, liquid foundation or air cushion. We can only choose a product that suits us better based on some of their characteristics.

1. Liquid foundation: Liquid foundation has a very good oil-control effect, so it is more suitable for neutral and oily skin. Of course, according to personal needs, there are also moisturizing liquid foundations specifically for dry skin.

2. Air cushion: Most air cushion powder puffs are moisturizing and suitable for dry skin. Of course, according to customer needs, there are also air cushions that control oil and replenish moisture, but most air cushions are very moisturizing.
