Should you put your under eye Concealer on BEFORE apply your foundation or AFTER you have applied it?? And what shade should you buy? Should it match the color of foundation or be lighter? Thanks ladies! 😊

After. I think it should be slightly lighter than foundation.

Always after and it should be a shade lighter than your foundation make sure you set with a light finishing powder so it doesn't cake under your eyes

I have done it before and after. For me it depends on what type of foundation I'm using. I use bb cream, liquid foundation, powder foundation, and a stick or cream foundation. Just depends on what look and the coverage I'm looking for. Check out some of the you tube channels.

I apply my concealer after my foundation because I get better coverage that way but I'm sure if done correctly, it can be applied before. :)

I don't wear face makeup daily but when I do I apply my under eye concealer first then apply my bare minerals in top of it.

You can use it alone or with foundation,I personally use under eye but Below, ok you know when you smile you see the lines under your eye ok you apply concealer a little below that from the corners of eye to the other in a half moon shape then ad a eye brighter directly under your lash line because the 2 are different and won't give you heavy creases or look obviously heavy. it will cover and give you a great finish.

I have dry skin in general with extremely dry skin under my eyes. No bags, mild dark circles. I apply a rich eye cream, then my foundation. Then, another light layer of eye cream (after the previous one has sunk in). Then, a thin layer of NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in a few small dots all over my eye area. Then, using my ring finger, I gently pat it and smooth it in to blend it. (I find that the warmth of my finger helps it to melt and blend better). I then set it with a light layer of powder (I use the Real Techniques Setting Brush and MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural).

I also use concealer that's the same shade as my skintone (NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chantilly) under my eyes. I've tried correctors and salmon- colored concealers in the past (e.g. Eve Pearl Salmon concealer) but find them far too noticeable in the end. I am extremely fair (MAC NW 5 or so), and my circles aren't that bad, so I find that correctors tend to stand out more on my face than just a skintone concealer.
