Should Concealer go on before or after foundation?

yeh I find that if you put it on beffore... you end up rubbing it off when aplaying the foundation... I find that after foundation and before powder works best

I first use MAC eye primer, then I put my concealer on, follow it with foundation, sometimes I'll add some more concealer (depending on how dark my circles are). Then to seal it I lightly pat on powder BUT just lightly using my pinky finger.....

I always apply concealer AFTER foundation because if you thinking about it foundation has coverage and if you apply concealer after foundation you tend to use less of it because the foundations done half the work!

putting concealer on AFTER foundation is the way to do it because if you think about it foundation gives you half the coverage and you tend to use less concealer that way!

If I have red spots or dark circles I use the green or yellow concealer first to contrast the color I don't want then put on my foundation and then if I need to conceal further then I do it after. That way it stays on and my spots are perfectly concealed. If you use a color corrector after foundation then you can see it and it draws more attention to the area or you have to spend more time blending and you end up having to put something else on top anyway.

I use to apply it after, but I prefer applying it before. I find it looks less obvious that I'm wearing concealer because I'm able to blend a bit of foundation on top of where the concealer stops, preventing me from looking like I just took off a pair of goggles.

Same here! I never had any idea that concealers can be applied after the foundation as well. I should have thought of that before! Anyway, what's done is done. Maybe tomorrow, I'll try it.
