IMO: The best foundations, both liquid and powder

Sorry guys I have not posted a blog for awhile - I've been really busy with real life, so excuse my laziness for not writing something sooner.

As I said before, people have different skin types and different tastes. These are the best foundations for all types of skin, in my opinion.

Liquid foundations
For oily, acne-prone skin > Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse (Airbrush Finish). Seems to be the most compatible with this type of skin.
For dry skin > Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Foundation. One of the most inexpensive, user-friendly for this type of skin tone. Wouldn't recommend it for oily types!
Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Foundation. Good brand for dry skin. Unfortunately, it is getting harder to find it in regular drugstores, but Amazon.com carries it for a cheap price.
For combo-types (both dry and oily) > Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Foundation. Yes, this brand works for combos too.
Neutrogena SkinClearing Liquid Makeup. This brand works for oily, dry, and combo skins! It's even designed to improve acne. IMO, the best liquid foundation for all skin types.

Powder foundations 
CoverGirl Smoothers Compact Foundation. I don't usually recommend regular powders, but this brand is the exception. Good for dry skin even. If you DO have dry skin, make sure to put on a moisturizer before applying any type of powder foundation.
Maybelline Mineral Power Powder Foundation. If you are looking for a cheaper version of bareEssentials, this seems to be the closest drugstore foundation.
Maybelline Mineral Power Powder Illuminator. One of my favorites. It adds a sheer shimmer look, and works great when put on top of other foundations. Of course, it works well too if you put this on by itself.

There are ton of other great products out there, but I listed a few and hope that it will help you to find the perfect foundation for you. Read my "Which is better: powder or liquid foundation?" blog for more info on what is right for you. Remember, everyone is different, so the perfect foundation for one, may not mean the perfect foundation for you!
