What's the difference between foundation, powder, blushers, bronzers....?

What is the difference between foundation, powder, blushers, concealer, and bronzer???!!!?! And when should you use them?What's the difference between foundation, powder, blushers, bronzers....?
Foundation is usually a cream, and is used to even out your skin tone, so that it's not blotchy or more red in the cheeks, etc.


Powder is used for the same idea, for an even skin tone, but is made of powder and so feels different from foundation. So foundation is liquid, powder is powder.


Blush is usually a pinkish colour,and is used to give colour to your cheeks, or to define your cheek bones, and if properly applied can make you look more attractive (in theory)


Concealer is not meant to be used all over your face like foundation and powder, but is spot specific, if you have acne so that it is not noticeable. If you want a really natural look just give concealer on the spots that bug you, and thats almost all you'll need :)


Bronzer is like a foundation or powder, but is used to make you look more ';bronze'; or like you have a tan. So you would use this if you havent had time to get out in the sun lately, and want to look like you have. So summer time, not winter (if you live somewhere where the seasons change) or else you'll end up looking like you're wearing it, where its supposed to look natural like in the summer since most people do tan from being outdoors in the summer.


So bronzer in the summer, a bit of foundation or powder all other seasons (which depends on how irritated your skin gets, foundation is used more than powder, and powder more for a finishing touch), blush just if you feel you want to define your cheek bones, and concealer for when you have acne that seems noticeable. It's a lot to take in, but one thing to remember is that you don't really need to wear makeup on a steady basis, most guys even like girls who look more natural :) Remember you're beautiful either way!

I love make up. Oh i'm also a beauty advisor its what I do for a living.


1st--Foundation first rule for good make up is having well prepaired skin as in moisturized


2nd--Concealer is more dense than foundation, allowing fuller coverage of trouble spots and hyperpigmentation (red areas). Its used over foundation or on it own, and has greater staying power. Remember, a little goes a long way! oh Tip: Choose the shade of your concealer carefully. When testing out shades, pick one that matches your skin tone or one shade lighter then your concealer. It helps to use a mirror outdoors to see how shades look on your skin in natural light.


3rd--When applying blush, you want the color to look soft and natural, as if it comes from within. Read below for tips on how to put on blush.





1. Tap or lightly blow on the applicator brush to remove any excess blush before applying to prevent a harsh and uneven application.


2. Apply your blush on the apple of the cheek and carefully blend towards your natural hairline.


3. If you have two shades, apply the darker one on the apple of the cheek first, then use the lighter shade to highlight. Blend well so there is no visible line between colors.


4. Highlight your temples, forehead and chin.





you could so the same with bronzers





4th--A light even dusting of loose powder sets foundation and concealer, giving your face a velvety, more natural finish. It also provides smooth blending for any eye makeup or blush to follow.





1. Dip a puff or powder brush in loose powder. Shake off excess to avoid uneven distribution, then apply powder over entire face and neck.


2. To maintain a flawless finish throughout the day, apply pressed powder using a sponge or clean powder brush.





Tip: Face powder can be used alone, over foundation or over your moisturizer for a natural, sheer, no-shine look.





Tip: For the closest color match, choose a powder shade that is 3 shades lighter than your foundation. or use a translucent powder.





Tip: If you are over the age of 30, avoid powdering under the eyes as it can make fine lines and wrinkles appear more obvious.





Tip: Facial oil-blotting sheets help to remove excess oil and shine without disturbing your makeup. Carry them with you everywhere you go!








yay. i love my job.
Foundation


Base make-up in liquid, powder or stick form which goes on before anything else, its function is to conceal blemishes and create an even base for the rest of your make-up.





Concealer


Like a concentrated foundation for smaller blemishes that need more coverage.





Powder,


Setting powder which takes down shine and sets foundation.





Blusher


Its function is to give your cheeks colour and create a glow around the cheek bone area, comes in different forms too.





Bronzer


Gives colour to a pale or sallow complexion and is similar to blusher only is designed for use all over the face, chest and anywhere you want to put it, ALSO comes in different forms.





Order:


Foundation


Concealer





The rest in any order you want.
Foundation is first applied to even skin tone and provide a canvas for makeup. Powder sets the foundation and offers the ability to alter skin town slightly. Blush enhances the rose color of cheeks. Concealer covers blemishes such as acne and redness, and is often much more opaque than foundation or powder. Bronzer provides a sunkissed look, adding more ';bronze'; to your skin tone.
Foundation is used to even out the skin tone. cover up red spots, ect.


Powder is used to make your face more matte (not shiny)


Blush does exactly what it sounds like make you look like you have rosy cheeks


Bronzer is used to make you have a sun kissed glow.


Concealer is used to cover up what the foundation didn't. Like a blemish or scar, ect





There really isn't a specific time that you should wear them... You don't even have to wear any if you don't want. Hope this helps!
foundation is usually liquid and should be avoided. it makes your face look like plastic. same with concealers. usually liquid. powderd makeup is okay if you have good skin. if you have dry skin, oily skin, or acne then you shouldnt use powdered makeup. it'll make your skin look worse. it took me a very long time to realize this, but the only makeup i ever need will bronzer and blush. i have a little acne still because i'm only 17 and also naturally oily skin. bronzer is the only thing that hasn't 1, made my face dry up and flake up, 2, look uneven and undistributed, and it also covers your flaws. try getting bronzer beads! they work the best. smash some of them up and leave some of them whole. make sure you don't get anything too dark. if you want to define your face even more, use blush on your cheeks only! i never started using blush until a couple weeks ago and i LOVE IT. blush is usually a shade of red. bronzer and blush should be applied with a brush. concealers and foundation and even powdered concealers are usually applied with a facial sponge or your hand..not the way to go.


hope i helped!





oh and make sure you put the bronzer on your neckline too! if you apply it the right way, you don't even need to blend it in. a little bit goes a long way
FOUNDATION: its used to even out your skin tone, and create a base for all your other make-up





POWDER: its very similar to foundation, except it doesn't work as well as foundation. however, it looks a lot more natural (which is why most ppl use both)





BLUSHER: its used to make your cheeks glow....which in turn makes ur face glow





CONCEALER: used to cover a blemish on your face (like a zit or a mole)





BRONZER: used to give you a sunny glow, by making you look (slightly) tanner.








I think everyone should use foundation and powder because its makes skin look smooth and even. You should use blush if you have great cheek bones and want to show them off, or if want your face to glow. You should use concealer if you have a few zits or anything small that you wanna hide. Finally, you should use bronzer if you want a natural, ';I spent the day at the beach'; look.





PS: I don't think anyone should wear bronzer and blush together
