I prefer loose mineral powders, they feel lighter on my skin and don't make me break out or dry out my skin. Liquids feel way too thick for me. I have red areas on my face so Redness reducing cleanser, moisturizer, and mineral powder is my normal routine. 

I do a very light wash of foundation with a foundation brush dipped in water. Light coverage, but makes me look a bit more polished. 

i love tarte TM or tarte foundation

I only use mineral foundation during the summer. I need full coverage because I have a very uneven skin tone (yay acne scars =/). I love it, though! I works and I don't have to wash my face and re-do my make up on my lunch break! ;)

I use Kiko Cosmetics Milano BB cream or mineral foundation along with a Rimmel concealer. I prefer reqular foundations for winter. Powders I do not really use besides the mineral foundation which is a powder lol!
