My sister wants to know - which goes on the face first - liquid makeup, foundation, primer, or concealer?

Primer goes first. It helps keep makeup on your face. It would be pretty silly to apply it over your foundation. Foundation most likely will go next. Concealer and foundation aren't usually used together. Foundation is more for a face full of blemishes, while a concealer is used just to cover a few blemishes. A powder is applied last. It gives the final touch up to foundation.My sister wants to know - which goes on the face first - liquid makeup, foundation, primer, or concealer?
First apply a moisturizer to the face. If the skin is oily find an oil free kind. Then apply primer - I like Laura Mercier, Smashbox is good too though. I like to apply concealer before foundation because many times people apply foundation first and they layer on too much because they haven't touched up the blemishes first. If you apply concealer first to just the trouble spots(I use a brush so it doesn't go all over the surrounding areas) then you don't need to use so much foundation. But you can also apply the concealer after the foundation - whatever works for you. Foundation comes in powders, liquids, sticks, creams, and cream-to-powder. There is also tinted moisturizer that can be used instead of foundation if your sister has really nice skin already. There are four basic types of concealer. 1. For undereye circles. It has to be dense enough for dark circles, but delicate enough for the thin skin around the eyes. A light, creamy formula is best. 2. Blemishes 3. Discoloration. Need a densely pigmented concealer to thoroughly cover dark spots. Stick and pencils work great for this. 4. Redness. Try a concealer with yellow undertones. Also blue or green tinted creams can neutraliize the color of inflamed skin.


Hope this helps!My sister wants to know - which goes on the face first - liquid makeup, foundation, primer, or concealer?
First let her know that liquid makeup foundation are the same thing! hehe.


Its primer first[Thats what is called 'primer' prime means first lol]


Then its the foundation, to smooth everything out and to make her skin look even.


Then its the concealer to cover any marks or blimishes. But alot of the time after using foundation, you really dont need any concealer.





Actually, some people mix up the last two steps, some put foundation before concealer, and others put concealer before foundation. Whatevr floats her boat though.
Tell her: foundation goes on first and I'd recommend buying mineral foundation- i use it and it's amazing
Your ';sister';?
Tell your sister to talk to your Mom.
