and What IS the difference between foundation and concealer?What's the difference between foundation and concealer?
concealer is mainly designed to just cover up problem spots (like a pimple) foundation is an all over coverage (you put it all over your face)





clinique has really good foundation and MAC has really good concealer





or if your looking for something REALLY cheap you can go to eyeslipsface.com and everything on that websight is just a dollar


but its only an online store so you cant go and get the stuff, it is mailed to you.





(i use e.l.f :) )What's the difference between foundation and concealer?
Concealer is mostly a spot treatment for small imperfections, such as scars, acne, blemishes, etc, while foundation is typically used all over to even skin tone and provide all-over coverage. They're usually used together. Bare minerals, mac, make up for ever, avon, and estee lauder make great foundations and concealers in a range of colors, consistencies, and prices. [:
concealer is to lighten up specific areas and foundation is for your whole face. ive heard that mineral is really good but i just use almay smart shade.
