Concealer- Used to cover up imperfections, like blemishes, dark circles under your eyes and scars. Comes in liquid, creme and powder.





Blush- Adds some color to your face, like pink and browns. It adds a natural flush to your face. Not to be confused with bronzer which adds a sunkissed tan look to where the sun hits your face. Comes in liquid, cream, and powder.





Powder- Sets your makeup so it doesn't slide off your face.





Foundation- Makes your face smoother looking, adds a nice tint and evens skin tone out. Sometimes has spf and can double up as a concealer. Comes in liquid, cream and powder.What is Concealer, Blush, Powder and Foundation?? %26amp; what is the difference between them all.?
Concealer is basically used to hide blemishes, pimples, red areas, under eye circles and small spots to even out the skin. A primer is sometimes used (often used when you want that flawless effect) before applying concealer to even the skin out and prep it for foundation. Foundation is basically like a fresh new coat of paint for the face. When mixed and applied correctly, it evens out the skin tone and fills up any spots you may have and help reduce the appearance of small hairs/ imperfections. From here on, you can do things. Blush can be applied in minute quantities to give '; skin a glow/ touch of color and powder can be applied on top to ';set'; everything in. Or you can skip the blush, and apply powder directly to set the foundation in and powder makes the foundation last longer. Over time, powder wears out but the foundation remains intact and gives the face the same appearance. Some people choose to apply blush after powder but be warned, since it results in ';fake'; looking face. The blush is obvious above powder as opposed to underneath it where it mixes in with the skin and the powder.
Foundation is applied to the skin to even out skin tone and basically create a good ';canvas'; to work with. Concealer is placed on top of the foundation to get rid of or ';conceal'; any imperfections such as blotchiness, pimples, red tones in the skin etc. Blush is applied on top of the foundation to the apples of the cheeks to add colour to the face. And powder comes in many forms such as pressed (i.e. in a compact) mineral, loose, trancluscent etc. It is applied on top of the foundation to set it as well as get rid of any shine on the skin.
concealer is what you dab over those red areas or pimples. Foundation is what you put overall on you face. Powder is what you follow up with after Foundation. Blush are the colors you put on your cheeks (with a dab on the temples, forehead and chin) It is also important before applying any of these you should use a nice moisturizer (even if you have oily skin.)
Concealer is to cover up blemishes. Powder and foundation (I think this is what they are for cause I dont use them) I think are for evening skin tone. Blush is for a little color and to make your cheekbones look higher.





Concealer is liquid or powder. Powder is... powder. Foundation could be powder or liquid. Blush is powder.





Hope I helped :)
Powder and foundation are the same thing. They are meant to make your skin look more healthy, bright, and to cover up acne.


Blush is what you can put on your cheeks to make you look innocent [[in my opinion]] and it highlights your cheekbones.
