whats the difference?
Hello i was wondering what is the difference between cover up, foundation, and concealer. I've been told i have good skin, i dont have acne or anything. But i hate my freckles! I want to cover them up. But i dont know what to buy, and i dont want my face to break out. So in a nutshell whats the difference between the 3?
Thanks and i rate :)

if i were you, i wouldn't cover them up. Learn to live with yourself they way you are. Who knows.. a guy or anybody for that matter might think they look really cute :) you dont want to look the same as every other girl. Don't you want to be different??
as for your question- Foundation is more liquidy and is more of a base coat. Concealer and cover up are the same thing, just 2 different words. they are used to "cover up" or "conceal" something. like a pimple, or mole, or freckles. You could use either really. if you used a foundation, it depends on how severe your freckles are. if they are barely noticeable now... they wont show up that much if you apply a foundation. but if they are pretty noticeable from a distance, the foundation will only make it fade a bit, so its not so severe. if you use concealer/coverup... it's thicker and if you use too much, your skin will look fake. and you dont want that now do you? if you only have a few freckles, you could use the concealer. just put a dot on the freckle and smudge around the outside so it blends in with your skin. but if you have a lot of them, i wouldn't recommend the concealer because again, it makes your skin look fake.
also, dont forget that if you put foundation on your skin, you should also apply some underneath your face and some on your neck, that way it blends and its not as awkward (your face 1 color, and skin another color)
hope i helped!

A foundation evens out skin tone. It's good for blotchy skin and just gives an overall even color.
Cover-ups and concealers are one and the same. They have heavier consistency and hide blemishes, birthmarks, freckles, age spots, etc. There is a limit, though, to how much they can "conceal".
It's one thing to hide a blemish, it's another thing to hide a bunch of freckles. Since concealers are thicker than foundation, if you tried to cover all your freckles with it, you might end up looking like you've got a mask on, which you might find more unattractive than the freckles.
If you just use a foundation on your entire face, it will soften the look of the freckles, but it won't hide them.
Freckles are cute! Live with them as they are a part of who you are.
