But other pulmonary time makeup users are also confused. Maybe because Albern bother to incorporate a concealer in their makeup routine yet. If you are one of them, you will be in the dark after reading this article. What is most confusing is that the concealers look almost the same as the base does so. The texture is almost the same, in addition to the range of tones too! Altheheh Oculters also come in beautiful tones of green, yellow, purple, blue, pink/peach and orange. Yes, because both are makeup bases that are used to create a soft canvas to apply color makeup (blush, eye shadow, etc.) later.
What is the difference between foundation and concealer?
Depending on thickness and coverage, imperfections such as redness, dark spots and other skin imperfections can cover. The other similarity is a kind of DIY or makeup hack. If you run out of foundations, you can mix corrector with moisturizer and use the mixture as a substitute. Make sure the tone is close to the tone of your skin and mix your neck. Otherwise, it will look as if your head is separated from your neck and body. Department on the thickness of its concealer, mix with sufficient moisturizer to obtain a consistency similar to the base. So, you have an alternative base. One of the concealers that can be used for this purpose is the sensual skin enhancer Kevyn Aucin.

The other response to the mystery of the base is the same as the concealer is No. the similarity between them is minimal, while the differences are extensive.
So what really is the difference?
Can you use Foundation as a corrector? How did it backwards? I have already answered the last previous question. For the other way around, you can also use Foundation as a corrector. I would do it because to verify the coverage and consistency of its base. You must provide sufficient coverage and the right thickness depending on the imperfection you want to hide.
Where to apply
The next thing we must consider is the area to apply the subject. The concealments are used to cover small areas of imperfections such as imperfections and dark circles under the eyes. While the bases apply throughout the face and neck only to the skin tone and make the skin look softer. There are even those who are designed to be used for the body. Both have tones that are close to our skin tones. However, as I mentioned above, there are also colorful or corrective tones such as yellow, purple, pink/peach, orange, green and blue.
The concealments are mainly sold in small packages compared to the base. A great example is the always popular creamy corrector Nars Radiant that comes in a tube packaging like that of a lip brightness. On the other hand, a base usually comes in a larger bottle like this Holy Grail. The main difference between the two is in how they are used. We have already gathered that they have different functions and uses. Then, when I use them for specific use, it will maximize their potential.

Correctors are common in liquid or cream formula. Naturally, it should be used first before overcoming it with the dust base.
The key when the corrector is used first is to be careful when applying a base or other makeup on top. This is to make sure it does not rub. You must also prepare your face with a moisturizer and the best primer for a soft corrector application. However, when other types of foundations are used, it must be the base first before the concealer. In this way, he won to put a corrector in the imperfections that the Foundation has already covered.
