Concealer or foundation first?
Our take
When it comes to the age-old debate of concealer or foundation first, the answer can transform your makeup game! If you're new to makeup and seeking that smooth, flawless finish, consider your product choices carefully. Using just concealer might seem tempting, but it can lead to cakeiness if applied too liberally. Experimenting with foundation first can create a balanced canvas, allowing your concealer to tackle specific spots without overwhelming your skin.
Am new too makeup so am wondering what will make my makeup look more smooth? I started using only concealer on my face as foundation always cakes but maybe am using too much product?

- what's your go-to base makeup layering routine?hello!! im trying to figure out a good base makeup layering routine and am open to trying new methods! what order do you usually use (primer, skin tint or foundation, concealer, cream blush, setting powder, etc.)? specifically, i've been trying a 'concealer first and then skin tint' method, but im curious which order to put first to cover blemishes/dark spots the best? I’ve heard both ways and I’m confused about what actually works best without lifting product or looking cakey! thank you!! submitted by /u/yeo_jaydd [link] [comments]
- Concealer without foundationYears ago, I was wearing a full face of makeup. For foundation, I used the extremely high coverage Estee Lauder doublewear foundation. But since a couple years I quit wearing as much makeup. On a daily basis, my routine consists of mascara, powder, bronzer, blush and concealer which I blend from my undereyes outward. I don't like using foundation, as it always looks a bit cakey/patchy, or I 'd have to cake it on. I'm using the NYX bare with me serum concealer. I love it, however using concealer without foundation looks a bit patchy. Especially on my cheeks. I used to blend the concealer using a Real Techniques sponge, but recently switched to the real techniques airblend sponge, hoping that would be better. But it doesnt. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to use the concealer, preferably without foundation, or a different concealer that I can use without foundation? If not, what are some good, lightweight foundations that are easy to blend and looks natural? My skin is dryer in the mornings but gets very oily throughout the day, resulting in buildup of concealer (and foundation) Thanks in advance!! submitted by /u/cottoneyedgoat [link] [comments]
