The Patrick Ta collection now features two complexion-enhancing foundations, each with their own unique benefits. Here’s a comparison between the liquid vs. creme foundation formulas, and a breakdown of how each product can fit into your beauty routine.
What is Creme Foundation?
The creamy foundation in the Major Skin Crème Foundation & Finishing Powder Duo has a luxurious formula packed with glow-enhancing emollients that promote a luminous complexion. The breathable formula feels lightweight on the skin, and seamlessly melts into the complexion for effortless application with natural-looking results.
Even better, this is the best creme foundation for those seeking a buildable formula that can be used for any occasion. Available in a range of shades for all skin tones and undertones, anyone looking for their new go-to foundation for glam looks and everyday wear can add it to their routine.
Creme Foundation Coverage
Given its buildable formula, the Major Skin Crème Foundation is incredibly versatile. For a more natural everyday look that allows your skin to shine, you can buff a single, even layer of the foundation into the skin for medium coverage.
For evening events or any moment when you want to go full glam, you can build the foundation up to provide full coverage. It layers beautifully, creating an even finish that looks radiant and natural, rather than cakey or heavy. No matter what coverage you build to, you can also expect this long-wear foundation to stay in place all day long (especially when set with the lightweight finishing powder).
Creme Foundation Finish
The emollients in this creme foundation impart a glowy, dewy finish on the skin. This creates a radiant and fresh look with a skin-like finish for the most natural results, even when you build up to full coverage.
Best Skin Types for Creme Foundation
This creme foundation works well with all skin types, but is an especially great choice for those with normal, combination, and dry skin. The creamy texture blends beautifully into the skin and won’t emphasize particularly dry areas of the face, thanks to the dewy and hydrating formula.
Those with oily skin can still benefit from using a creme foundation, especially if they’re after a glowy, dewy makeup look. The key is setting oil-prone areas (typically the forehead, nose, and chin) with a translucent setting powder to control shine and blur the appearance of enlarged pores. This allows you to get the full benefits of a cream-based formula while still minimizing excess oil. The foundation duo features a lightweight, soft-focus finishing powder to help you complete your complexion.
What is Liquid Foundation?
The Major Skin Hydra-Luxe Luminous Skin Perfecting Foundation has an innovative formula that does more than your average liquid foundation. Formulated with skin-beneficial ingredients like a triple hyaluronic complex, plant-derived squalane, shea butter, and fermented kombucha, the foundation works to hydrate, nourish, and visibly improve the complexion as soon as it is applied.
Of course, the look and feel of the foundation is just as important, and this formula is made to deliver stunning results. The weightless foundation beautifully blends into the complexion to promote a natural, your-skin-but-better look. The result? A plump, hydrated, and radiant complexion. With 30 shades to choose from, you’ll be able to find your ultimate match.
Liquid Foundation Coverage
This skin-enhancing foundation is made to provide medium coverage that lasts all day. It effortlessly blends into the skin to enhance your complexion’s natural radiance while softening the look of imperfections. Made to feel weightless on the skin, it also provides a comfortable wear experience – no need to worry about it looking or feeling heavy on the skin. The medium level of coverage and lightweight formula makes the Major Skin Hydra-Luxe Luminous Skin Perfecting Foundation the ultimate foundation for both natural, everyday wear and gorgeous glam makeup looks.
Liquid Foundation Finish
The combination of emollients and hydrators means that this foundation leaves a gorgeous, dewy finish on the skin (while still feeling incredibly light). The formula also contains light-reflecting pigments that impart a soft radiance on the complexion. It’s the ultimate foundation for elevating your natural complexion while promoting a supple, hydrated look.
Best Skin Types for Liquid Foundation
Much like the creme foundation, this liquid foundation works beautifully for all skin types. That said, given the lightweight formula, it’s especially well-loved by those with oily and combination skin types. It feels weightless on the skin, yet still provides stunning coverage for a gorgeous, even skin tone.
Keeping this in mind, what makes this the best liquid foundation is the fact that it is loaded with ingredients that benefit the skin – including hydrators. This means the foundation is a stunning match for those with dry skin, especially on days when they’d prefer a lighter foundation formula. The hydrating nature of the foundation means that it won’t emphasize dry patches. In fact, it’ll help keep dryness at bay, leaving your skin more hydrated than it was prior to application.
Benefits of Using Creme Foundation vs Liquid Foundation
Both of these Patrick Ta foundations create a gorgeous base complexion, taking your natural beauty to the next level. Each product is also vegan and cruelty-free and made without parabens or phthalates. This means that, no matter which you reach for, you can feel safe and confident using it on your skin.
The Major Skin Crème Foundation has an incredibly versatile formula. It’s the perfect foundation to reach for when you’re looking for a long-wear foundation that can offer full coverage, and it’s a stunning base for a glamorous makeup look. That said, given the buildable nature of the formula, it can easily become your go-to for a natural daytime look, especially if you prefer the feel of more luxurious creamy formulas.
Meanwhile, the Major Skin Hydra-Luxe Luminous Skin Perfecting Foundation is the ideal choice for those looking for a foundation that naturally elevates their complexion, giving a your-skin-but-better finish. Given the skin-enhancing benefits, it’s the ultimate choice for everyday wear.
No matter your beauty preferences or skin type, both of these foundations can find a place in your beauty regimen.
