Concealer Before or After Foundation?

I've always been applying foundation first and then cover up the spots the foundation didn't cover with concealer. I know some people like to apply their concealer before their foundation but doesn't that just move the concealer from the spot you just covered as you blend in your foundation? What do you prefer? Would it depend on how many spots you need to conceal?

After, because foundation will cover some of the smaller blemishes/ spots/ redness, etc... And then go in with concealer to cover anything that needs it. Definitely saves time and product.

I think it depends on what type of makeup you are using and if it is colour correcting concealer or not. Sometimes I like to use yellow concealer under my eyes so I always put than on before foundation. And if I use a liquid concealer but powder foundation it goes on first then too. If my skin is having a good day I would put foundation on first and then go over anything that needs it with a skin colour concealer.

It's personal preference, if you're using concealer before then just stipple the foundation over.

I do under eye before, and spot treatment after.

After foundation. If you apply concealer before foundation you may be covering something that won't even be showing through your foundation. It makes your makeup a lot less thick(:
