What's the difference between powder, concealer, and foundation? ?

Q:

A: Foundation is a liquid, cream, stick, or powder that comes in a variety of finishes and coverage levels. It can range from very light coverage like tinted moisturizer to full coverage that can conceal the worst birthmarks and discolorations. It is used all over the face to even skintone and provide a base for other makeup. It can be dewey, natural, or matte in finish. Concealor provides more concentrated coverage for spot problems. It can also come in liquid, cream, stick or powder. It usually provides heavier coverage than foundation for porblem spots like dark circles and blemishes. Powder can be skin toned to provide light coverage or translucent (no coverage). It can be loose or pressed and is used over makeup to set makeup, as well as reduce oil and shine.
