The difference between makeup prep and foundation

May 1, 2023
Makeup prep and foundation are both makeup primers that we often use. Many people don't know the difference between pre-makeup and foundation, and some even equate the two directly. What are the differences between the two products?

Is it the same as a foundation?

The difference between a pre-makeup cream and a foundation is not the same. It is a lotion that is literally used before makeup, and is usually used by people who need makeup. The foundation is actually a foundation, only it is a foundation with an emollient effect that allows for better makeup application.

The ingredients are not the same

Makeup prep: Makeup prep contains a variety of vitamins, antioxidants and moisture to effectively even out skin tone, refine pores, control oil and moisturize. Foundation: foundation in general talc, kaolin and titanium dioxide, zinc stearate and zinc myristate and calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, etc., to play a role in adjusting skin tone, improve facial texture, concealment, etc.

Different effects of use

Different methods of use

Makeup prep: makeup prep can generally be mixed with foundation, and can focus on local application to highlight local skin advantages. Foundation: foundation generally needs to be gently pressed onto the skin with a puff, and generally needs to be used all over the face.

The order of use is not the same
