What is the difference between oil and water-based makeup?

Oil-Based vs. Water-Based

When planning a make-up design you can use grease, or oil-based products, or you can choose water-based. Grease-based has a longer staying power and can create dramatic stage designs, but is not compatible with water and must be "set" with powder. Water-based make-up is usually applied with a sponge or brush and water, and can be removed with soap and water.
