Sometimes the number of new discoveries and innovations of the world of beauty and makeup make us not familiar with some terms as well as the latest cosmetic products. It's function is similar but has significant differences in how the application and its basic functions. As well as the difference between foundation and concealer. Both equally for makeup base and its shape is nearly identical. But the function and application of them are very different. Here are the differences as well as my recommendations for foundation and concealer.

| Foundation |
The main function of foundation is to make skin tones look more prominent and shiny and makes the color of our skin look brighter and balancing applied makeup. This product comes in many variations, color and consistency/density. You should use a foundation that suits your skin color. Not to make your face look too bright or darker. Usually if you spend a lot of time to level the foundation with the color of our skin, meaning you had been wearing the wrong color. Well apart from that if you choose a foundation that feels thick and heavy when it is applied, there is a possibility you choose a foundation with the wrong density. We recommend that before buying a foundation, try to ask the tester and try to apply a little on the cheeks and the inner wrist. If the color blend well easily, then the foundation that you select is right.
Foundation main function is what distinguishes it from concealer. Its main function, make your skin tone look more prominent and shiny. Foundation is the base of makeup so that the color of your skin look brighter and not crippled with makeup applied.

| Concealer |
While concealer, it's main function is to cover the shortfall on the skin such as scars, dark circles or pimples. Actually, you do not need to use concealer if the lack of facial skin can already properly covered by the foundation.
Concealer has thicker viscosity than foundation. Concealer has the primary function of which is to cover the shortfall on the skin such as scars, blemishes or pimples. But if it's your face shortage could be covered by the foundation, you no longer need to use concealer. Concealer can be in the form of stick, liquid as well as a cream solid. Usually concealer applied on / after foundation, but only in some areas that need of an extra layer or the part that should be covered. Blemishes and eye bag area usually area that need concealer. Concealer should not be too assimilated in the area we have used foundation.

| Foundation and Concealer Application |
If you just want to cover the shortfall on the skin, use a moisturizer and concealer and does not need to use foundation. In the case of shortfall of facial skin, using concealer is much more effective than the foundation. Do not apply concealer to the entire skin of the face because it will make the makeup look full.
