I have read that the best way to cover a blemish is to use concealer before foundation, I have always used it after because I don't want to smear it off the blemish when I apply foundation. Can anyone with concealer experience help me out??🙈

You do if after wards to cover up what the foundation can't. Foundation evens skin tone and dilutes redness, concealer simply conceals and covers imperfections. :)

It depends on you're product, with most foundations I usually apply foundation first, but I'm using YSL foundation at the moment and that's designed to give the skin a glow, so I do concealer first so it doesn't dull the foundation. Have a play around and test each out with the products you've got and see which works best.
