Should I Apply Concealer or Foundation First?

 


Concealer or Foundation, which comes first? This is one of the most common beauty inquiries. To answer this age old question, there are a few things that you have to consider such as foundation and concealer type and application technique.

Rachel Short, licensed esthetician and head of education for Dermablend Professional, takes us though some tips and tricks to demystify your concealer and foundation application.


Choosing the

 right type of foundation

With all of the foundations on the market, it is important to understand the differences and which formula is best for you.

  • Liquid Foundation: This is the most common type of foundation and it comes in a variety of formulas and consistencies. If you have dry or dehydrated skin, you should opt for a moisturizing foundation such as Dermablend’s smooth liquid camo foundation which is an excellent liquid foundation that provides up to 24 hour hydration and broad spectrum spf 25. If you have normal or oily skin we recommend an oil-free foundation such as Dermablend’s flawless creator™ liquid foundation drops.This particular foundation is ideal for all skin types as it is oil-free and water-free which allows for a weightless feel and blendable full coverage. Allure magazine also selected Flawless CreatorTM liquid foundation drops as a 2018 Best of Beauty Award winner.

  • Cream Foundation: Cream foundations are great for comfortable, smooth wear. For the holy-grail-cover-all-needs foundation, choose Dermablend’s cover creme, the #1 cream foundation in the US*. 

  • Cover creme can be worn as both a concealer and foundation. The texture is a solid cream, so you’ll want to make sure that you warm it up with your fingers prior to applying it onto your face. Cover Creme is an ideal option for someone with more high-coverage needs like melasma and vitiligo.

  • Powder Foundation: Powder foundation can be found in a pressed powder or loose powder and are great for absorbing excess oil or setting other foundations or concealers. Try Dermablend’s intense powder camo , for mattifying, buildable coverage from sheer to full.
