Can u substitute each other? i always use foundation in the morningg.Whats the difference between concealer and foundation?
foundation is like a bass color. it gives you a solid color for working on. much like when painting on a canvas.





concealer is like a cover up. when you write say your pen explodes on the page. then you use some white out,to mask it. if you ever get a pimple,you mask it with concealer.





Hope this explained it all.Whats the difference between concealer and foundation?
Foundation is generally used to cover your entire face for general imperfections and to matte your skin. Concealer is for small spots, like pimples, old acne scars, or other blemishes. I also use it for dark circles under my eyes too.
concealer is to cover up certain spots that need extra covering, foundation goes on after concealer is applied if needed.





Foundation is used all over the face in general but concealer is basically just touch up.
Concealer; covers imperfections, pimples, scars...etc


Foundation; Is used for your whole face, to give a light layer of coverage
If you don't have heavy discoloration under your eyes, or lots of hyper pigmentation/acne, using just a foundation is fine.





Concealer is more pigmented, but not as heavy as foundation. Since the skin around the eyes is so thin, you need a product that is not heavy, but that will last. You wouldn't want to use concealer all over your face, it would look too heavy.





Foundation is generally lighter in texture because you are going to use it all over your face (Cream foundations would probably be closest in consistency to a concealer).
Foundation is to blend in w/ ur skintone (to put all over ur face), and concealer is for the hard-to-conceal spots and blemishes like red marks, etc.
concealer is mostly used to hide blemishes or undereye circles and


foundation is used to even out skin tone and maybe give u a little tan on ur face! u dont have to use both... but usually if ur gonna use one, i would use foundation... hope that helps
