I'll answer the few that I know! a good primer goes on before your makeup and its supposed to help it last longer. You can put concealer in your under eye area to cover up dark circles or to even brighten up that area a big. Some ppl use BB cream instead of foundation since its sort of a tinted moisturizer and its supposed to have all these benefits for your skin.

1. Look at your wrist in natural light. Are your veins blue or green? Blue means cool toned, green means warm toned, and if you see both you're likely neutral. Which color jewelry looks best, silver or gold? Silver normally means cool, gold means warm, and if you can wear both, you're neutral.
2. BB creams in America are just tinted moisturizers. They cover a little but not much.
3. Primers are for use before foundation, to help it last longer and not sink into pores, smudge or fade.
4. Usually concealer is for blemishes or for darkness under eyes, redness around your nose or mouth (or anywhere else, really), but not ideal for use as a foundation.
5. I'm no expert, but use a cool, grey toned brown product to accentuate the features that you already have (under your cheekbones, at your temples, the sides of your nose)
6. Bronzer can go everywhere, but is NOT to be used as contour. It's supposed to give your face a healthy summery glow, so I suggest using it on the high points of your face (tops of your cheekbones, forehead, nose etc.)

1: sorry but I don't know
2: bb cream is blemish balm so it covers any blemishes and imperfections in the skin
3: don't know again
4: concealer can be put under the eyes and on the T-zone
5: don't know again
6: to put bronzer on you need to make a fish face (suck in your cheeks) and put it in the "dip" under the apples of your cheeks
7: and yes put foundation on before concealer, foundation will hide most of the imperfections anyway, add concealer wherever it's needed x

7. That depends! :) for color correcting concealers (dark circles, redness etc.) apply concealer first, then foundation. Why? Because then the foundation will even everything out, as opposed to trying to apply an orangey corrector over top of your foundation. With blemishes, blackheads, little things like that, do foundation first. Why? Because foundation can cover a multitude of skin issues without the help of concealer, and therefore you'll use less product.

Look at the inside of your forearms. See the veins there? If they look more blue, you're probably cool undertones. If you see green veins, you're warm. So, blue veins = cool skin, green veins = warm skin. If you can't tell whether they're blue or green your probably neutral.
(This is optional may or may not help. It has been said to be incorrect but I don't know maybe it can help someone) Also if you wear more or look better in silver jewelry your more cool. If you wear more gold then warm. If you look good in both your probably neutral.
I don't do bb creams so I just tell ya it's like a tinted moisturizer some have primer some don't.
A primer helps create a smooth canvas to apply foundation. It can correct color discoloration, hydrate skin, and minimize pores & fine lines or matte.
You can use concealer for ance, dark spot, and under eye circles. You can even use it to contour with.
You contour your face with a contour kit. Powders that are cool grey toned. Your contour color should be 1-3 shades darker than your foundation and your highlighter should be 1-3 shades lighter. A bronzer can make you look muddy if you use it to contour with.
When bronzing you apply it where the sun hits your face kinda like a highlighter.
Here's some images: 1st is to contour. 2nd is bronze

Hasn't anyone told you the only stupid question is one left unasked? lol anyway let's get to answering some questions.
1) A way to find your undertone is by looking at your wrist. If your veins are more blue green, you have cool undertones. If they're more yellow or pink, I believe they're warm. If you you see both then you're neutral. I'm positive about the veins for cool & neutral, but you might wanna check the warm lol I'm forgetful.
2) BB creams are beauty balms designed to provide light coverage while providing benefits to your skin.
3) Primers are meant to do a few things like provide a smooth canvas to apply your makeup on & help add some staying power to your makeup. There are tone correcting primers as well. These are meant to help take things like redness out of the equation. Primers are meant to be applied to skin before makeup application.
4) Concealer is meant to conceal blemishes as well as dark spots under the eyes.
5) I'm not one to answer a question in regards to contouring because I don't do it lol
6) I use bronzer in place of blush for a glowier look of that makes sense. Matte bronzers are typically used to contour.
that's about all I can say lol

1. how do I find my undertone?
I don't know if this is the professional way, but if you look at the veins in your wrist, they'll tell you. if they look blue, you're cool toned. if they appear green, you're warm toned. if you can't tell the difference, then you're neutral.
2. BB cream stands for Beauty Balm, however they're more like tinted moisturizers than anything else.
3. a primer does many things. some are skin perfecting, some are mattifying, others illuminate. the main purpose is to help keep your makeup looking nice & fresh for hours longer than without. there are primers for your face, eyes, lips, & lashes.
4. where do you put concealer?
concealer is meant to cover up anything left uncovered my foundation. so any blemishes still showing through. I also use it for under my eyes.
5. how do you contour your face? I'll post a photo to show you. you can contour & highlight your face using either powders, creams, or liquids. the products should be 1-2 shades darker & lighter than your skin tone. do NOT contour your face with a bronzer.. it will make you look patchy.
6. Where to put bronzer?
bronzer can be dusted all over the face using a fluffy powder brush.

What does a bb cream do? Its just a moisturizer whith color lol but it really depends which one you get cuz there are some that have a face primer
What is a primer? There is a face primer that reduces the appearance of pores and makes foundation go on smoothly and there is a eye primer which is a base for the eyeshadow it helps the eye shadow show up the color it is and makes it last longer
Concealer is like you said for blemishs you can also put it on your under eye to cover up dark circles
To contour your face you need a product that has a grey undertone and the way you sculpt really depends on your face shape and never use bronzer to contour thats not what its meant for
Where do you put bronzer? You put bronzer where you would naturally get a tan or sun burn in other words where the sun would hit the face
