Diving into the vast sea of makeup and beauty, let’s answer a question that has probably tickled the curiosity of most beauty and makeup lovers: Do you put foundation or concealer first?
This simple question can transform your makeup routine and give you a flawless finish à la française. Stick with us as we explore the French beauty philosophy and the secret to their impeccable skin, helping you to redefine your beauty regimen.
While you may have been hoping for a definitive answer, the truth is that French women do as they please when it comes to applying concealer or foundation first!
The order in which you apply foundation and concealer depends on the type of coverage you want to achieve and your personal preference.
Foundation First
If you use a full-coverage foundation, it might already provide enough coverage to conceal your blemishes and under-eye circles. In this case, you would apply your foundation first, and then use concealer as needed in targeted areas to provide additional coverage.
Concealer First
Some people prefer to apply concealer first, especially if they are using a light coverage foundation or BB cream. The concealer can help target specific areas of discoloration or blemishes, and then the foundation can help to blend everything together for a more seamless look.
No matter which order you choose, make sure to blend well and use the right color and formula for your skin type and tone. The right application tools like sponges or brushes can also make a big difference.
Experiment with both methods to see which one you prefer. Makeup is unique and can be tailored to your personal needs!
