I apply concealer first. But if u have barely any acne and some blemishes, concealer is all u need. Just to cover blemishes. But if u have alot of acne i would use both(:

I read that you're supposed to apply foundation first so that you don't end up wasting/using an unnecessary amount of concealer. By applying foundation first, that alone may be enough to take care of some of the trouble spots that you're spending so much time concealing. So apply the foundation first, and then whatever still needs extra coverage, cover more thoroughly with concealer.

I do concealer first because if I do concealer afterwards it kind of sticks out. And I feel like it's hard to blend out without messing up the foundation when you've already applied a layer or two of foundation.

For dark circles under the eyes, concealer alone is fine.

hi im a beauty therapist and clinique consultant and the best way is foundation first then concealer.you waste product doing it the other way around. gently pat and roll your concealer on top of foundation for best coverage :)

and dont forget that your concealer should be 1 shade lighter than your foundation to make blending easier and stop orange patches! x

Foundation first than concealer I feel it gives me more of an airbrush affect, but it's up to your preference there isn't a right way to do it(:

I normally just use concealer and powder nowadays, but if I'm using foundation (which would be more like tinted moisturizer), I'd put foundation on first.

Foundation then concealer. Foundation gives a clear even skin tone then the concealer to cover any redness or blemishes still visible after you've applied foundation.

it depends on the type of concealer. if its a corrector or lifting concealer u apply it first to correct and lift the skin before the foundation for a flawless finish. All other standard concealers r applied after :)

You want to apply foundation first. Heres a hint, foundation means the base of something right? And concealer is used to conceal the tiny spots the foundation didnt cover.
