Hey, I have a problem translating something.

What is a common word for loose powder, pressed powder, liquid foundation,... - for any of these products, used to cover/conceal the skin on your face.

Thanks!

Foundation goes all over your face. It should match your skin tone. It's also called "base."

Concealer goes just over your blemishes. Sometimes it has a rather green tone to even out the red.
