What's the difference between foundation and concealer?

I don't get it why by foundation if you have concealer and vice versa?


And why different colored concealers? Tan concealers......yellow concealers.....green concealers....blue concealers.....


What difference does it really make? :/What's the difference between foundation and concealer?
Hey good question!.


Concealers are only necessary if you have a pigmentation problem (skin color is incorrect/blotchy) such as for example you may have red patches or dark circles under your eyes. Concealers of different colors can be used to correct these color problems.





*Yellow concealer: Used to conceal bluish bruises, under-eye circles and mild red tones on the face





*Lavender concealer: Used to normalize yellow-colored skin imperfections such as sallow complexions and yellow bruises. It can also help conceal very dark under-eye circles and dark spots on bronze skin tones.





*Green concealer: Used to neutralize red tones on the skin. Use this for covering blemishes, zits, red blotches, rosacea, port-wine stains

Foundation is used to smooth over the texture and lightly even out skin tone, it is not as heavy as conceal so generally cant correct serious coloration problems.What's the difference between foundation and concealer?
foundations and concealer are basically the same thing except foundation is for all over face inculding under eyes and concealer is just for under eye area ...y have both? well just think concealer would go awfully quick if you used the one tiny tube all over your face everyday whereas foundation comes in a bigger package /container....green i no is for like redness...but in the end the concealer gets covered and blended with the foundation any how... also im not sure what brand your working with or you may be working with cover girl ultimate finish which is excellent.. if your buying from a drug store i totally recommend purchasing at rite aid because they have acosmetics money back guarantee just save the packaging and the receipt that way if you bought the wrong color you can exchange or get a refund...oh n for your information i saw a news report that says estee lauder max factor dior mac expensive and cheap brands all have the same chemical makeup so they all are the same stuff just packaged different okay so back to your brand if your using covergirl liquid or another type of liquid foundation the crust or thick gooey part that gets stuck inside the cap of the bottle doubles as a concealer so you could ideally use that as your concealer for the eye area.....so judging from your question maybe you are just experimenting with makeup or venturing a lil deeper i strongly recommend that you pratice on days you kno you dont have to leave the house cause once you pratice you'll kno what works for you ...remeber you have to get the hang of it n you dont want to wait til the big day or a hot adate to attempt to put on the ';perfect'; face so you need to practice and see this way you whats to thick of a layer or whats to thin of a layer cause i dont want you to look cakey also make sure you dont forget to blend a little below your chin line and blend up into the hair line if your hair get a little foundation on it yopur hair will survive i just hate wen i see girls/grown women out there wearing foiundation that is streaky and so obvious........DONT FORGET THE POWDER...GOOD LUCK TO YA
Foundation is to even out skin tone and for all over the face.


Concealer is to get rid of imperfections... tan is just to cover-up. Yellow is for certain types of skin (like, Latino works best with yellow). Green is to counteract redness, and blue, uh, doesn't exist.


You'd be surprised at the difference it makes. :-P
foundation is to even out skin tone and to be used all over your face and concealer is used for extra coverage where foundation isn't enough for blemishes and such





green is to counteract redness've never heard of blue though





:]
foundation covers all over your face like freckles, beauty marks and blotchiness(stuff that takes a long time to get rid of permentaly) while concellers covers up dark circles and pimples (stuff that is easily taken care of) I hopee that helps :D
Foundation its to even out your skin tone...and it normally goes all over your face, while the concealer you can put it under the eyes, or in a spot or a pimple.





=D
Concealer is usually much more think than foundation, and will generally cover flaws like dark circles, or other skin imperfections better than most foundations.
