Whats the difference between concealer and foundation?

I know it goes under your eyes but wtf why not just yuor foundationWhats the difference between concealer and foundation?
Concealer is a separate kind of makeup, slightly more dense than foundation, that helps to cover blemishes, undereye circles, and other skin problems that foundation may not cover.


Foundation helps to even out the skin tone and brighten the face.Whats the difference between concealer and foundation?
concealer is much heavier.
first of all, there are different types of concealer, and it does just what it sounds like - it conceals. If you have a blemish, it will give a thicker coverage over it. If you have undereye circles, it will help cover it.





Concealer works by either have a thicker texture than foundation, or by a different color. For example, in order to counteract redness, a concealer may have a yellow tint to it. Now, you do not want that yellow tint ALL over your face, otherwise you will look like you have jaundice.





Also, some undereye concealers have ';light reflecting pigments.'; This fancy lingo basically means that there is shiny stuff in there that will make the skin look more radient. In small doses, it is fine, but all of the face may be a bit too much.





Some concealers can be used all over the face, but that can get expensive since concealers usually cost more than foundation. And if the area you want to conceal isn't very noticeable, you can sometimes just use foundation - simply apply foundation on the blemish and surrounding area with your finger in a soft tapping motion.





Also, make sure if you DO use concealer under your eyes, you don't spread it all the way to the far corners of your eyes - this will only enhance any fine lines around the eye. Use concealer in the inner corners of the eyes, and in a very gentle motion, spread it to the middle of the eye, and blend.





Hope this helps!
well, as for me concealer is something that I would only use to events with yellow lighting... cause concealer can look very cakey and fake under white light...





Well, foundation is a must for make up... it helps even out skin tone and helps a little with pimples(depending on which kind of foundation that you buy).





I am at my early 20s so I'll go for liquid based foundation with light coverage for a natural look, and if i need something thicker to cover up my dark circle, I'll use the dried up foundation at the tip of the bottle(It feels creamy). It doesn't work as well as a concealer but at least its natural. So i don't have to spend more money getting a good concealer that might look grayish if it doesn't matches my skin tone...
Concealer is a thing that you use for your pores ,


foundation is what you use to cover up and even out your skin
concealer has deeper coverage. not only under your eyes, but any discoloration can be obscured by concealer.


remember apply concealer first before foundation.
