Should I apply concealer before or after foundation?

First of all, it’s important to distinguish concealer from foundation to achieve a final look that appears flawless. Foundation is designed primarily to mask signs of fatigue (like under-eye bags) and to help even out skin tone. Its fluid and light texture helps hide shadows and add brightness to the complexion. Concealer, on the other hand, has a thicker texture and is formulated to camouflage visible imperfections like acne, rosacea, dark circles and pigment spots. It offers superior coverage and helps balance contrasting colours, leaving you with even and natural looking skin.

In what order should I apply my makeup base?

To get the best results, we recommend applying your concealer following your skincare routine and before you put on foundation. This allows you to correct specific imperfections before applying a unifying base. Applying foundation after concealer gives you an even and natural-looking complexion without needing to overload on product. The foundation then acts as a light veil that completes the entire look.

Why should I apply concealer before foundation?

Starting with concealer allows for better control of coverage. This prevents you from needing to overload your face with foundation to cover imperfections because the concealer has already done a large part of the work. Applying the foundation afterwards helps to blur any concealer edges for a smooth and even finish.

How do I effectively set my makeup?

To prolong the hold of your makeup, it’s essential to set your base using a loose powder. Choose either a translucent powder or one that is the same shade as your concealer. Using a loose powder brush, apply the powder to your face using light touches. Focus on areas that tend to become shiny during the day or where you have applied concealer. Setting with loose powder not only guarantees longer lasting hold, but also helps to mattify the skin for a perfect complexion from morning to night.

Do I need to choose a quality concealer?

Quality concealers make all the difference in achieving a smooth and even complexion. They provide adjustable coverage and adapt to all skin types. Whether you have light or more pronounced imperfections, a great concealer will allow you to obtain balanced and flawless-looking skin. Investing in a quality concealer means ensuring long-lasting makeup that withstands the challenges of day-to-day life.
