This is a question for you makeup experts.. its about concealor, powder, liquid foundation, etc. ...?

Okay, so let me tell you right off that I am sort of a beginner with makeup, so all i use is concealor, mascara, blush, and a little eyeshadow. So, please use details for my ignorance, lol.





I have this concealor: http://www.covergirl.ca/en_ca/prodimages鈥?/a>





^ it works for me, but is liquid better? cuz sometimes this feels a bit oily, so i was just wondering.





Okay, and i wanted to start using foundation. Liquid sounds like it would blend well, so, what kind should i get? Just make sure its oil free, good for your skin....





I heard that the maybelline super stay silky foundation is good.. what do you reccomend?





And, after i would put on the liquid stuff, do i HAVE to put on the powder? does it really make a diff, or can i just skip it..?





And, last but not least, i have pretty fair skin, and my cheeks get red easily (irish in me, lol), so what shade should i use?














Thank you thank you thank you in advance. Any help is much appriciated.

In my opinion, the concealer your using is wayy better than liquid. I've tried six different kinds of liquid and none work for my combination skin, but I started the stick concealer and it covers up way better.





For foundation, it's kinda tough. Liquid foundation gives you more coverage plus a natural airbrushed look, but it may clog your pores. Powder foundation is better for your skin, and it gives good coverage, but not as great as liquid. I think your best bet would be oil-free liquid OR Bare Escentuals powder.








And last but not least, try the covergirl or almay smart shade makeup, where it blends into your skintone.





Good luck :)This is a question for you makeup experts.. its about concealor, powder, liquid foundation, etc. ...?
It de[ends if you have oily, dry, or combo skin.
First off, check your skin type. If you've an oily skin and prone to break out look for products that are oil free, not water based. Since you said that you've a little bit of redness on your cheek and you want to cover that, you should look for a liquid foundation. However, if you've no breakout whatsoever, you can try using a mineral powder foundation. Your cheeks' redness will play up to your skin (looks like a natural flush). MAC foundation are good, I'm unsure about maybelline.





Apply your concealer AFTER your foundation. If you're using a liquid foundation, it is recommended to dust some powder afterwards to set it, esp. if you're oily. It does make a difference - it helps to make your makeup stay longer and you'll look less oily/shiny.





I'm not sure what you're trying to say on your last question, but your foundation should blend to your skin. Most of MAC liquid foundation gives you the coverage that you need to cover the redness of your cheeks.





Since you're fair, you should try getting a rosy or coral blush to play up those cheekbones.
Q-'; it works for me, but is liquid better? cuz sometimes this feels a bit oily, so i was just wondering.';


A - First you need to start with a proper skin care regime that controls oil, my guess is you are 25 or younger? that means you have more oil production in your skin. TONER is sooo important. It removes impurities. If you can get your skin to be more smooth by exfoliating and proper cleansing.. concealer would be unnecessary and can be used on the rare occasions that you actually need it

Q-Okay, and i wanted to start using foundation. Liquid sounds like it would blend well, so, what kind should i get? Just make sure its oil free, good for your skin.


A- If you follow the above advice a perfect wet to dry foundation can be dual purpose.. wet the sponge for more coverage but use half the side of the foundation then the other side can be a dusting powder. I find liquid is better for people who have dry skin. Powder has absorbing qualities and helps reduce shine (if you are oily) OR powder in the summer and liquid in the winter is also another option depending on where you live.


Q I heard that the maybelline super stay silky foundation is good.. what do you reccomend?


A . Here is the link for duo wet to dry foundation that I use and love

Q -And, after i would put on the liquid stuff, do i HAVE to put on the powder? does it really make a diff, or can i just skip it..?


A. Powder is a setting agent. Make-up artists always use a dusting powder after to set the make-up during photo shoots, when lights are on the skin, skin looks shinny with liquid based make-up To produce a smoother finish the dust lightly with a mineral powder. You have to be aware that certain mineral powders are so fine that you MUST exfoliate the skin to get it OUT of the pores. so the answer is not really , it depends on how you want your face to look, dewy or matte?


Q-And, last but not least, i have pretty fair skin, and my cheeks get red easily (irish in me, lol), so what shade should i use?


A- I would use a tinted moisturizer OR a green concealer as that will reduce ruddiness, just make sure you only put it on the areas that are mostly red or ruddy...Don't be scared of it, just use sparingly. You can also mix a bit into a liquid foundation into your hand, add a little of the green then put on the areas that are mostly ruddy.
