Hi all, I am just a little confused here. Is BB cream the same as foundation/concealer
Difference between concealer, base, foundation, and powder?

Answer :————————
Base is like a primer for your skin. It moisturises the skin, and prepares it for foundation, giving you better skin to work with. It also allows for better foundation blending, and sets the make-up so it lasts throughout the day.
Foundation is to even your skin tone and give your skin a really flawless finish. You match the colour to your skin tone, and use the foundation to cover loose pores and problem areas.
Concealer is used to hide and cover blemishes and imperfections, and to give your skin the illusion that it's flawless.
Powder sets the foundation and the concealer, and makes the skin matte. It also reduces oil and sebum production, and helps the make-up to last for longer.
Hope this helps! xoxo
What's the difference between a pearl finish, metallic finish, and satin finish?

So I get that a matte finish means it's "flat" with no shimmer, and shimmer finish is obviously kinda sparkly… But what about pearl, metallic, and satin? Are those all the same? Are they slightly shimmery? Extremely shimmery? Help?! Thanks
By the way, I'm talking about finishes on eyeshadows, etc.

What's the difference between powder foundation and pressed powder?

Answer :————————
Pressed powder refers to powder for oil-control and it's also used for setting makeup. It has little pigmentation (usually translucent, but some have a little pigmentation to blend better with skin color) and are sort of the 'cake' version of loose powder (which is also used to control shine and to set makeup). So it is basically an alternative to blotting sheets and also a more travel-friendly form of loose powder (if loose powder spills it would cause a huge mess).
Powder foundation meanwhile refers to base makeup. This means it has more pigmentation and it's for evening out skintone. They may look similar to pressed powders sometimes but you can tell it's a foundation because of the higher pigmentation. There are several types of powder foundation like 2 way cake, mineral foundation etc. (not to confuse you but it is also ok to use powder foundation to set makeup but it's not used for shine-control)
So when you apply powder foundation, you're going to see a difference to your skintone – maybe less redness or minor blemishes get covered up.With pressed powder it sinks into your skin and gives a shine-free look without altering your skin blemishes too much.
