Foundation vs. Concealer: What’s the Difference and When to Use Each

Both foundation and concealer are used to even out your skin tone, but they serve different purposes:

Foundation:

  • Applied all over the face
  • Evens out skin tone
  • Comes in various finishes (matte, dewy, satin)
  • Best applied after moisturizing and priming

Concealer:

  • Used to cover specific areas (dark circles, blemishes, redness)
  • Usually thicker than foundation
  • Can be used before or after foundation depending on the desired coverage

When to Use Each:

  • For everyday wear, you might only need a BB cream and concealer
  • For fuller glam, use both

Pro Tip: Use a damp beauty sponge to blend for a seamless finish
