    Foundation is for your entire face, to even out skin tone and such. Concealer is for blemishes and problem areas like dark circles, redness and spots.

    Concealer is for pimples, dark circles or any other imperfections on smaller areas.

    Foundation is made to go on your whole face.

    However you can use foundation as concealer.

    Foundations are usually for your face and can double up as a concealer. Concealer are usually for any dark spots: ie: Under the eyes. dark spots from scars, pimples, etc.. they are usually thicker than foundation which is why it is used sparingly on specific problem area :]

    Well okay so foundation you put all over your face and concealer you can just put anywhere you need to to hide a blemish or dark circles.

    Concealer is for spots, scars and pimples while foundation is for your whole face. Unless you have really bad skin, you are better off using concealer on any spots on your face and setting it with loose or pressed powder.

    foundation is light coverage and can go everywhere. concealer is heavier and it usually has a fuller coverage so it is made to go on more spots and uneven places on your face that the foundation does not cover.

    concealer is for under eyes..eye bags.. to cover up the black spot.. foundation is for the whole face
