Should I apply concealer before or after foundation? Can concealer cover scars?

Many girls who love beauty will use makeup to beautify themselves, but it is inevitable that some acne, freckles and other blemishes will grow on their faces. At this time, concealer comes in handy. So should concealer be applied before or after foundation? Can concealer cover scars?

The order of applying foundation and concealer is not fixed, that is to say, you can apply liquid foundation first and then concealer, or concealer first and then liquid foundation, so whether to apply foundation first or concealer first depends on the situation. If liquid foundation is used before concealer, it will cover skin blemishes better because it is applied after concealer, but there may be unnatural color transition between the focus concealer area and other areas.

Concealer is specially used to cover facial blemishes. You can apply concealer after applying foundation. As long as you use a concealer that is close to the color of your skin and apply it a little thicker, you can cover scars. The concealer has a strong concealing effect. If there are small scars on your face, you can use concealer to cover them. However, before applying concealer, you must apply foundation products, such as BB cream and liquid foundation, which can effectively improve your skin tone and cover blemishes.

If your skin is reddish, you can use green concealer to adjust it. If your skin is yellowish and darker, you can use purple concealer to adjust it. For dark circles, you can use orange or pink concealer to brighten your skin. For pigmented acne marks and spots, you can first use brown concealer that is slightly darker than your skin color, and then apply skin-colored concealer to brighten them.

There are three types of concealers: liquid, cream, and stick. Liquid and stick concealers have better coverage, but they require proficiency in makeup application; cream concealers have lower coverage, but because of their light texture, they are easier to create a natural look. They are generally solid, but the viscosity varies. You can choose products for large areas or local applications according to your needs.
