I've never tried cream foundation but outta they rest, I prefer liquid by far. I don't have the most perfect skin and liquid foundations help me achieve that
Anything that feels light on my skin! I use a concealer with a thin formula on my cheeks and under eyes and then a powder foundation on top. It feels light and the powder adds more coverage without feeling heavy on my skin:)
All my experiences with cream left me looking cakey, so I'm scared now! Powder is awesome, especially during the summer but for normal wear, I like liquid. I'm just used to it and like the look I get with it.
I have combo skin so I have to switch formulas depending on the seasons. I use liquid or cream foundations during the fall and winter seasons because my skin is dry, but I try to use mineral powder during the summer when I have crazy oil production.
But I also live in a valley/desert area so the air does get very dry during the summer too, so sometimes I still use liquids or creams during the summer but top it with powder for extra insurance so it's less likely to get sweated off in the heat.

I love mousse foundations. They feel lighter than a cream or a liquid, but have more coverage than just a powder along!

I used to really love liquid still do but creams are just so much quicker to apply in my opinion and last just as well as liquids on my oily skin
