Look, I've seen so many makeup tutorials to count and I always hear about concealer, foundation, primer, etc, etc.
Let me ask you this:
Is it necessary?
For everyday?
For school?
You tell me.

Depends on what your skin is like. mine tends to be very read and I have acne prone skin. that's why I always use foundation and concealer (especially for under my eyes)

For school everyday...a great BB cream that's buildable with SPF should be plenty. For longer days and evenings out...I'd prime and use Foundation/ Concealer. I'd also always start with a moisturizer and be sure to let it absorb into your skin before moving on.

I don't even own foundation. I just use concealer and powder. If my skin is looking alright (no redness/spots), then I just use powder so my face isn't shiny. So no, I don't think it's necessary for every day!

Well primer is good for keeping your makeup in place..like the makeup stays on longer. Concealer is great wen trying to coverup any dark spot or pimples or other small did colored areas. foundation is great to cover up redness or any major discoloration to the face. It's also used as a base for blush and bronzer. My favorite is powder and that's just to add color to your face and reduce oiliness. I honestly use these products everyday, but if you feel like you can go without some of these products then go ahead!! In the end it's your face!

I don't know. I went to an all girls school so they were lucky if I combed my hurr.

Ultimately, I think it depends on how much coverage your foundation offers for you to know if you need concealer or not. I always recommend to apply your concealer after your foundation because your foundation may cover up anything you wanted to cover with concealer in the first place.

Well, if your skin is oily, red, hv very dark under eye circles and acne prone, then you shd wear them all to cover them up, but if your skin is fine, then just a little but of bb cream or priner with powder shd work.

For me yes, I had acne and redness and like to cover it up, it just depends on what you like.

If you already have nice skin then obviously don't wear it. Stuff like that is for girls who don't have good looking skin.

It differs from person to person, and the condition of your skin at any given time. Some lucky lady's don't even have to wear foundation! Must be nice

It depends on what you wanna do and what look you are gping for. if you don't like a lot of makeup then obviously you shouldnt wear all that crap. If you like a natural look just wear concealer to hide problem areas and powder in top. but if you like looking glam and all done up then by all means do the whoke process! lol I think it depends on you as an individual what you are most comfortable with.
