If you want to cover up discoloration like acne, hyperpigmentation, and sun spots in certain areas of your face, grab your concealer first.
There’s no universal right answer! To use your products correctly, you'll need to really take a look in the mirror and decide what you need out of your makeup. "If you put your foundation on first, look at your skin, and think, 'Oh, that’s where I have a little bit more discoloration'-put your concealer over that," says Jacque. If you don’t have pigmentation concerns and your goal is more about gently evening out your skin, apply foundation first-then, go in with a little concealer where needed (mild darkness under your eyes, a pimple here or there, and so on). "Cover problem areas with concealer first, apply powder so it doesn’t move, then put your foundation on." Should you apply foundation first? What's more, getting that coverage in the areas that need it most first means you’ll probably end up using less foundation, decreasing the chances of things looking too cake-y, thick, or textured in the end.īonus tip: If you find that your concealer tends to smudge and migrate when you apply foundation second, Jacque has an easy solution.
#Do you use foundation or concealer first skin#
Additionally, because concealer is formulated to cover purple or brown under-eye circles and hyperpigmentation, it tends to have red or pink tones (to counteract those darker colors), so they don’t always perfectly match your skin tone. (A dark spot corrector is also a good investment, by the way.) While foundation is typically lighter coverage and meant to provide an even base for the rest of your makeup, concealer is packed with pigment because it’s designed to cover anything foundation is unable to hide, explains Jacque. If you struggle with lots of hyperpigmentation, acne, and/or super dark circles and need a big boost of coverage, applying concealer underneath foundation results in a smoother, more even complexion.
