If your skin is dry, steer away from powder foundation as this will only make your skin look cakey or flaky, and will emphasize your wrinkles. Stick to liquid or cream foundation. These will keep your face looking smooth and soft.
If have oily or combination skin, powder foundations are best for you and will give you that matte appearance and stop that shine. You might also consider using a foundation primer to control the oil. Touching up now and then with powder is also recommended.
