Is foundation and powder the same thing? And what is bronzer for?

Answer 1

foundation is heavier than powder. you can get a powder which is foundation and powder in one but the function of a powder is to set youre foundation and keep it from coming off throughout the day. also foundation is more coverage. you can get a foundation which evens up your skin tone OR covers any scars or blemishes you may have. where as if you dont need anything for acne scars or uneven skin tone...powder will do the trick with light coverage. also powders tend to be oil based whereas foundations can be oil-free. A bronzer is for people who dont want to go tanning or dont tan, but need a sun-kissed glow. You want to apply bronzers anywhere that there is a shadow if you look up to the sun..soo under your cheekbones, above ur brows a bit, on the sides of your nose...some ppl apply bronzer all over their face which is okay too just make sure that your face and neck dont look completely different. hope that helps.

Answer 2

Technically no though there are some powders that can have water added to a spone and used as a foundation, you need to check with them whenyou purchase, alot of pressed powders today allow it but may not be the color you want because is normally lighter than foundation. A bronzer is something, possibly powder or liquid form to add color. hope this helps, bronzer used more if tanned and dont need to use make up at all or just as anadditive.....Good Luck

Answer 3

No they are not the same. foundation is the liquid, and powder... well it's powder. Bronzer gives your skin a bit of a tanned color

Answer 4

Foundation and powder are not the samething. Foundation is used for more of a dry face, then on the other hand powder is used for an oily face. Bronzer is used to highlight you face by applying it to your cheecks

Answer 5

foundation is a liquid used to cover up so is powder but its not a liquid its a powder. and bronzer is a powder that gives your face a little bit more color

Answer 6

No, not really. Both are supposed to even out skin tone, but foundation is much heavier and thicker. I much prefer powder- pressed or loose- because it is very light. It is also so much better for warm weather! Bronzer is to give you a light, sun-kissed glow. You brush bronzing powder over your forehead, nose, and cheekbones to give your skin a light tan. Don't overdo it, though- you want sun-kissed, not sun-kicked!

Answer 7

It's both depending on what your skin type is.

For OILY skin use a "compact powder foundation" (it comes with a powder puff to apply).

For DRY skin use a "liquid foundation" and a "loose powder" in the same color as the liquid foundation. (Apply liquid foundation with a "makeup sponge" and then apply the loose powder with a big "makeup brush").

No matter what form: FOUNDATIONS are meant to EVEN OUT YOUR SKINTONE. They are the FOUNDATION.

CONCEALERS are meant to COVER UP IMPERFECTIONS. They CONCEAL as in HIDE.

Answer 8

foundation can be in liquid, stick, cake or powder form and is meant to even out your complexion and cover small imperfections.
powder can be in loose or pressed form and is meant to be used on top of foundation to set the makeup. you can also use it throughout the day to touch up.
bronzer is to give you a sun-kissed look on cheekbones and temples, etc. it is easier to use if in powder form.

Answer 9

Foundation is for your face. When your have pimples you cover it up. Power is different. Bronzer is for your face and to put a darker tan color on your face so it glows,.

Answer 10

no they are different things ..and bronzer is to give your skin color or you could also use it as blush instead if that really pink color so it will give you a more natural looking skin tone
