I always thought the general consensus was foundation first, then concealer where needed… but in the realm of the internet I often see more concealer being used than foundation. For example, I just watched a clip of concealer being placed as highlight, so tracing the brows, around the eyes (lids, under eye, and above cheekbone), jaws, nose. Cream contour. Then a little bit of foundation for a finishing touch? Is there a science to this madness? This was for a “natural look” but I thought foundation had a more natural finish than concealer? I’m over here still using BB cream when I’m actually doing a full face which is once in a blue moon. I’m so confused.
Yes. I use tinted moisturizer and then I add a dewy creamy concealer to any area I want a little more coverage. I let it warm to my skin and use a fluffy brush to buff it out. Looks way more natural than a full face of foundation and is a much better look for older dry skin.
