Can I just use Concealer without foundation?

Can I? I really wanna know. Cause most of the time I do, but there are lots of people saying I should put on foundation first. So? 10 points to the best answer.Can I just use Concealer without foundation?
yes if your skin is good and you only need a little bit of conceler then don't bother with foundation. just make sure you blendeit properly.Can I just use Concealer without foundation?
You can just use concealer. However, it will probably look better with the foundation. It depends on your skin - if you use the concealer and it doesn't stand out too much, then you don't need the foundation. If it's noticeable that you're wearing concealer, then you'll need the foundation to even out the color more - it helps hide the lines between your skin and the concealer.
Of course you can. If your skin is nice enough that you just need to help a couple of spots sure. I used to do that all the time. Just make sure you blend well and that the color is a good match. I still don't use foundation. Just some translucent powder which I put on after the concealer of course.
WAIT, YOUR A GUY?!


YES YOU CAN USE CONCEALER WITHOUT FOUNDATION
Ok look you NEVER need ANY foundation. Just use the conclear and don't spend on foundation.
i only use concealer...b/c my skin is so dry..and concealer blends in perfect and leaves a natural finish...as oppose to the cake build up
I dont use foundation and Im fine ; )

How much does L'oreal's Bare Naturale Foundation and Concealer cost?

I was just wondering if any one knew how much the L'oreal's Bare Naturale concealer and foundation costs on average.





And if I got it would it be better to get new brushes vs the ones that come with the foundation and concealer?How much does L'oreal's Bare Naturale Foundation and Concealer cost?
The Concealer is about $12 and the Foundation is about $15 (that's at my nearest drug store and i live in the u.s if that helps)





The brushes are alright, I'm personally in love with the brushes from Bare Escentuals.. the concealer brush and the one for foundation-kabuki brush.. I love them! I already have them So i use them over brushes that come with other makeups if I am using a different brand for what ever reason.





Loreal's Bare Naturale makeups are great though to be drug store type!!

Whats the different between concealer, foundation and pressed powder?

well i know what concealer is, but when would i use it and so forth?





please make it as detailed as possible.Whats the different between concealer, foundation and pressed powder?
concealer is to cover blemishes like pimples and dark circles under your eyes





foundation is to enhance the appearance of your skin





pressed powder is to set foundation and other makeup





hope i helpedWhats the different between concealer, foundation and pressed powder?
CONCEALER:


Concealer is used to cover up blemishes. This is applied before you put on anything else.


FOUNDATION:


Foundation comes in two forms: liquid and powder. It is important to find a foundation that does not clog pores. For liquid, I reccomend MAC's liquid foundations. Go into a store and they will find your shade and get you a brush. For powder, I reccomend Bare Essentials. It is a mineral powder that does not clog pores, and does not come off easily without makeup remover.
Concealer is for underneath your eyes, it covers up dark circles, lines, and uneven skin color under the eyes. Foundation is for your face, it evens out your skin color, covers up freckles, pimples, whiteheads, blackheads. It skin smooths it. Pressed powder is something people use a base before putting on foundation so it last longer in the day. Some people use either or though. If you use mousse then you don't need both, because it's like having both.
okay. concealer is used to specificaly cover any pimples dark spots or heavy under eye bags.


and foundation just gives a an all same skin tone.


presse powder is basically the sameas foundation but a different form.
foundation is the second step after the concealer. the foundation is the same color as your skin tone and is really the base for your makeup. pressed powder is similar to foundation, its more of a finish and can make your skin look shimmery. it probably depends on the brand. i dont use it.
Concealer should actually be applied AFTER foundation because if you do it before foundation it will just be rubbed off while you're rubbing in your fondation
Foundation: it is for evening out your skin tone and start to make a flawless face


concealer: hides spots blackheads scar and dark circles can also be used to brighten up the eye area


pressed powder: sets the foundation and concealer
concealer is used for light cover up like with dark spots or blemishes. You use it before you put any other makeup on your skin. Foundation is used to cover and even out skin tone,if you have a good complection and even skin tone you dont need it, it just gives you a fresh canvas to apply blush to. Pressed powder also evens skin tone, and helps with shine,and helps seal your foundation and blush. Hope this helps.

    What to do after I put on Foundation and Concealer?

    Well first I cleanse, tone, and moisturize with SPF.


    Then I apply my concealer.


    Then I apply my Liquid Foundation.


    Am i supposed to set it with a powder or something after that?


    If I am supposed to, what kind is good that won't look cakey.What to do after I put on Foundation and Concealer?
    The best kind of setting powder is Mac's Blot powder pressed or loose this sets the make up and will get rid of any oilWhat to do after I put on Foundation and Concealer?
    try powder then concealer, when they did my makeup at Bare Escentuals, thats what they did and I have kinda been doing that since then. I use either Physicians Formula Mineral Loose Powder


    http://www.walgreens.com/dbimagecache/26鈥?/a>


    or Sheercover http://www.tvoverstocks.com/images/sheer鈥?/a>





    I also bought Maybelline but I havent used it yet


    http://www.specialchem4cosmetics.com/doc鈥?/a>





    For my concealer I use The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Cover Stick, it is supposed to be good for blemishes. http://www.beautybentobox.com/wp-content鈥?/a>








    What I do is cleanse %26amp; moisturize


    apply mineral powder


    apply concealer


    use bronzer and blush








    You do not typically need liquid foundation because it makes everything cakey. You only need it if you are older, my mom likes to use it, and she is almost 48 but she looks young.
    After foundation, you can brush on little TRANSLUCENT powder. It just sets the foundation in place. If you get a powder that is NOT translucent, you can usually tell you are wearing makeup, which sometimes includes looking cakey. Since you are not looking for high coverage, Cover Girl makes great translucent powders! I use these in the summer for a more natural look.
    Try a loose translucent powder and LIGHTLY dust it all over. You may need to reapply every so many hours. If you use too much your face will look shiny, then cakey...especially if you sweat. If you don't have a problem with oily skin, then don't set it at all. If you become shiny throughout the day, blot your face with toilet paper, which soaks up oil. I hardly ever use anything to set my foundation or concealor but if I do, I use very light powder.
    I hardly use liquid anymore, but if you need a powder for anything, you'll not beat smoky mountain minerals , it's good for your skin %26amp; your pocket book.





    use a good brush, which you can buy at a local drug store or wal-mart, bare minerals is ok but you may have to glue it back together, as i did mine. Don't use their make-up tho, full of bismuth !
    i would almost say you should apply the concealer, but then mix a little of the foundation into the moisturizer for like a tinted moisturizer. Then you don't really need a powder to set it. It looks more dewy and natural that way.
    After those steps apply a light translucent powder- the best by far is Laura Mercier. The powedr will make it set and last all day. It will also prevent shine. Laura Mercier tyranslucant powder does not look cakey at all and will not clog your skin either.


    Good luck
    yes, set it with powder, but the good type would be the sheer powder, they got that in MAC, Laura Mercier, and every other brands. I see some people lightly dust baby powder on top and it looks great too!
    Try Elizabeth Arden's Ceramide Setting Powder. I use it every day and it makes your skin look flawless!! It comes in different shades too! It has optical diffusers and wont settle down into your pores or lines. Give it a try!
    I hope you're not a guy, but you use powder to set the makeup, choose oil free kind if your skin is oily and moisturizing kind if your skin is dry.
    i have heard of a powder foundation.
    i've never known guys to wear foundatation

    Know of a good foundation and concealer?

    I have a limited budget. (i'm 18) so i can't spend a lot. Do you know of a good concealer and foundation? What form of concealer is the best? Tube, roll on? I've used the tube form and it doesn't work well. Its very hard to run in. I appreciate any tips. Thanks!Know of a good foundation and concealer?
    I like Prescriptives foundation - they have a half-dozen or so different foundation formulations (sheerer or heavier coverage, moisturizing or oil-free, etc.) and wide range of colors. If you go to a Prescriptives counter, they'll find your perfect color match by doing what (I believe) they call ColorPrinting (it's been a while, and I already know what color I am). It is amazing to see how invisible the right color foundation becomes on your skin!





    The formulations are in the $30-$40 range, but at your age, you shouldn't need a lot of foundation. That bottle should last you a good 4-6 months.





    If your skin is in such bad shape that you really will use a lot of foundation, consider investing in something to help clear your skin up. ProActive is supposed to be great for that, but I've never tried it personally (I don't need it, but if I had skin problems, that's what I'd try first).





    What are you using the concealer for - zits or undereye circles? I would try Mario Badescu's drying lotion (http://www.mariobadescu.com/productDetai鈥?/a> to heal the blemishes that foundation won't hide. If the latter, be careful about using something heavy (whose application will require a lot of rubbing) on the area under your eyes - the skin there is very delicate (it has no sebaceous glands to produce the oils that protect your skin) and you don't want to damage it. Try to minimize dark circles by getting enough sleep and drinking enough water.Know of a good foundation and concealer?
    clinique, i've found out, works the best and it's very moderately priced.





    it depends on what type of skin you have. i have combination skin so i use clinique's multi-balance liquid foundation but lately i've taken to using their translucent powder instead of any foundation at all (it works wonders! especially for oily skin)





    go talk to a person working at the clinique booth- they'd love to help you!





    (the best thing though, is not having to wear concealer and foundation at all! make sure you always ALWAYS wash your face after wearing makeup to prevent clogged up pores and breakouts)
    Less is more.





    Try bare minerals products, at Bare Escentuals. The foundations are around 25 bucks.





    MAC also makes a good product called Studio Fix. It provides maximum coverage. I think theirs is around 20 bucks.





    Even cheaper than that, try foundation in the jar made by Loreal. They are owned by the same parent company as Estee Lauder. Stick concealer works best...just dot it lightly where you want, then blend gently with your ring finger.
    Application of the concealer is key.....remember to PAT not rub......
    Mac is always the best way to go, Sephora is really good but expensive.
    I use Clinique. I don't know what your budget is though.
    Bobby Brown makes a good concealer (particularly for under eyes). It's not cheap, but it does work well and last awhile.
    tube concealer is better b.c the area under ur eyes is sensitive....dont use foundation....use powder instead!...that's what i do...i apply concealer (i use clinique)(but cheaper one i think l'oreal is the best brand for it) then i apply powder(l'oreal) over my face...foundation causes pimples!
    Revlon Color Stay makeup....it's about $13, but it's so worth it and it lasts forever! Just check out all their colors and match it up with your skin color. I love that stuff....all Revlon's color stay products are awesome!
    Benefit Cosmetics Boi-ing works great work me. I have very dark circles and I'm able to hide them for the most part. Is best when applied with a brush (concealer brush - means not to big not too small), but different things work for different people. The best thing would be for you to go somewhere like Sephora where you can try on different things. The cost is $18.00.





    PS: I've also heard that Physician Formula is good, try going to Ulta Cosmetics and asking for advice.
    I use MAC Products but Maybeline has good products too.
    most people dont need such thick concealor as a tube, especially since you are young. try a cream type in a pot, such as studio gear. physicians formula also has LOTS of good different concealers. for under your eyes, you will want to use a yellow or reflective pigmented concealer. for blemishes, use a green based concealer to combat the redness. hope this helps!
    Try Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse........it works wonders and isnt pricely......it works...............i luv it!!!!!!!!!!!

    What is your favorite concealer and foundation?

    How to choose from so many brands of concealers and foundationWhat is your favorite concealer and foundation?
    definantly not something from a walmart or just cheap makeup (covergirl, maybelline, even dept store stuff like MAC)...i used to wear that and then i went to college and learned about all the chemicals in the things we as women put on our skin and body...i started wearing bare minerals, (not to be confused with perscriptives or other imitations) and i love it sooo much...my skin looks better and it feels so much better on your skin than liquid foundation, and i'm not putting yucky stuff on my skin!!What is your favorite concealer and foundation?
    yves saint lauren...the best though expensive
    i like clinque it doesn't break you out it is a little expensive but it will last at least six months or longer
    cover girl is good and cheap
    i'm not a fan of overpriced designer cosmetics. the new cover girl aquasmooth compact is excellent - lasts all day. for concealer, try physician's formula (also at the local drugstore) - they make various shades and products for correcting both bluish and reddish imperfections.
    Bare Escentuals is what I use but I've used MAC and that is nice as well.
    my favourite is max factor panstick, i use number 13 as a base and 14 over to slighty darken i really like it and have used for a few years now because its cheap and spreads so so easily. try it :0)
    i used to wear chanel, but then discovered bare minerals and loved it.
    bare minerals..i am 55 and have used just about all the brands since i started using make-up. i also have done make-up for the theater. this brand has just blown me away..and i spread the news.
    I use Neutrogena - and have been very happy with it. I use the skin clearing formula.
    Iam a Clinique fan
    I like Dermablend - but it is very hard to find, and expensive. I have uneven skin, so this works best for concealing the imperfections.
    revlon colorstay concealer.maxfactor color adopt foundation.
    Origins.
    Bae Minerals/ Bare Essentuals.... same thing
    In high school I used Cover Girl and whatever was affordable. I recently started to use Bare Escentual/Bare Minerals after seeing all the info-mercials on TV. It was good, until summer came along. I noticed no matter how light or heavy I put it on that when I would sweat it would seep into the pores or lines in my face. I have since found Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. They have so many colors so you're bound to find one for you. I use the Maybelline concealer with the wand also. Don't need powder on top either. If you put it on light you can still see your freckles, or for the more covered look, apply a little heavier. Doesn't ever look like a cake's on your face though. It's affordable and worth it.
    Arbonne International offers foundation in three forms: liquid (but goes on dry), mineral powder, and a creme stick. They also offer concealer in a tube. The best though is an under foundation/concealer powder in a compact. It is great for red, ruddy, scarred, dark circles, whatever the skin flaw. You put it on first, then do your regular make-up routine. It also cuts down on oilness in my T-zone area. I love it! If you would like to know more about these products or more, contact me at sunnyside_64@yahoo.com. I would love to show you how to get 35% off the retail price and get it shipped straight to your door. Good luck!
    I use Neutrogena..and it works just fine..not too expensive either
    Mary Kay. It's one of those brands kind of like AVON, where the women sell it from home. The shades match perfectly to almost any skin tone and it's so light when you apply it, you can hardly feel it's there. I know I'll never use anything else ever again. It's a little more expensive than brands like Cover Girl but not quite as expensive as the department store brands. Plus, you get more for your money.
