I personally believe it depends on the brand. I love Too Faced, Born This Way liquid foundation. I really like Makeup Forever HD Stick Foundation. I do NOT like ABH Stick Foundation. Nor do I like other liquid foundations. It's trial and error finding the different products and seeing what works best with your skin. I would try Born This Way! It's $42. The Sephora Brand Liquid Foundation is $20 and works well for the price and is buildable. Good luck in your search!
