Face Makeup
16/f--I don't have BAD acne, but I have little red bumps on my face (I wash my face twice a day, but I just somehow still get little pimples). As I said, its not that bad and its nothing makeup can't fix. I've been using two different kinds of face makeup (liquid stuff and powder stuff), but I just ran out. I don't want to use the same stuff, but I'm not sure what to use. I'm not that experienced with types of makeup and what they do. Whats the difference between concealer, foundation, compact, and any other face makeup, and what exactly do they do?
Thank you.

well i know this is a lil late but i think your problem is either a- your not putting on moisterizer b4 the makeup or b-the makeup could be irritating your skin causing you to break out. try not wearing makeup or if thats impossible wear a moisterizer. <3

one of the reasons why you might be getting these red bumps is because your concealers and foundations and blush and coverup and everything else you put on your face isnt reacting right.. ( you might be allergic to it ) powder and concealers and everything else your using isnt healthy for your skin.. try this: go for a week without putting any concealer or cover up on that you normally do..just wash your face regularly (with cold water, hot water will irritate it) and see the results! hope i helped *add me to your friends list and let me know how it goes* XoOx

anonymous -
Here are the basics:
Foundation - provides overall coverage to even out skin tone
Concealer - "conceals" undereye circles and supposedly for pimples (would not recommend for blemishes)
Compact - usually is pressed powder; used for touch-ups throughout the day to keep that shine down
Bronzer - provides a golden-tan look, good for summer
Application:
First and foremost, apply a good oil-free moisterizer on the face with spf. Wait until it dries and penetrates, it'll give you a "dewy" look.
Concealer - Apply this on undereye circles by tapping lightly and gently blending. Do not use a wiping motion, or you'll wipe it completely off your face. Set with loose powder and proceed with foundation.
Foundation - You can either use a triangular sponge or your fingertips for application. Since you have acne, I wouldn't recommend a foundation that has heavy coverage, opt for something more sheer. I use Jane Stay Calm Foundation (found at Wal-mart) which is pretty sheer if you apply it right. I find it's better than some department store brands :) You use this first all over your face just to even out skin tone, but don't apply too much. For the pimples, you use foundation, NOT concealer to hide them (because foundation is meant to be your exact skin color, concealer is used as a shade lighter. if you use concealer, the pimples will stand out more). For the blemishes, just tap lightly over the blemish with your finger or a concealer brush until it's totally concealed. Set with loose powder and brush off excess with a powder brush.
Compact - Use for touch-ups throughout the day if you feel your face getting shiny.
Hope this helps!

Concealer is the liquidy stuff so is foundation. They cover up pimples. Compact is the powder stuff which goes over the concealer to make your face toned to one color. I would suggest you try that Dream Matte Mousse from maybeline. It works great. It is like a powder and liquid in one!

concealers are used to help conceal like dark spots, or pimples, or any other flaws on your face. foundation is used help even out the skin tone, and a compact is used to.. hmm.. i'm not really sure, but it can be used to help make you face look less shiny and oily, and make your skin look more even and smooth.
if you're going to wear make up, try buying some that are oil free and non-comedogenic, which means that they wont clog pores. it's better to stop acne before it happens than cover them up for the moment.

HI, I am an esthetician, and I can help. DO you also have little red or white bumps on other parts of your body. Upper arms? Forearms? If so, then you may have keratosis pilaris. It is a skin condition. The make up won't cause it or prevent it. What happen is that dead skin cells do not fall off, as they should, the become stuck, and sebum builds up behind them. You need to use a lotion or serum or cleanser with 12 to 17% glycolic acid each time you wash. Then you need to use a fiber sponge or loofa sponge, or an exfoliant of some kind. The glycolic acid will soften the dead skin cells that are stuck, and the exfoliant will remove the. It will not get better over night, but it will not get better at all of you don't take these steps. Look up the condition on the internet, see if you agree with my diagnosis, then get some products that help.
If it is just acne, then exfoliating will still help. So will the glyolic acid. Also to prevent acne, you must keep bacteria away from your face, so no hands on face, also don't use towels or wash cloths that other people use.
Hope this helps.
