Hey guys! I apply my concealor after I have appl
ied my BB creme or foundation. However, I was wondering if any of you do it before applying bb creme or foundation. Let me know and why you prefer it this way :)

I usually do mine after foundation. I've found I get more of my product that way. Sometimes with certain concealer the foundation will take away from being able to notice the concealer.

There is no true rule about that, but I prefer applying the concealer after, so I don't take some of it away while blending my foundation!

I do it before cause I use a powder foundation.

I color correct before, if I'm using a thick formula.
Then foundation
Then flesh toned concealer

I do it after because my foundation seems to cover most of my blemishes

After. My foundation covers the majority if the redness and few acne scars I have on my face. I only then use concealer to cover my dark circles under my eyes but that's JUST ME. You just do what works for you :-)

A good rule of thumb is to color correct before (dark circles, redness etc), apply foundation, and apply concealer afterwards to whatever you can still see. I prefer to do that because it saves concealer and gives you a thinner layer of product on your face :)

^ that's what I do.
primer, colour correct, foundation, concealer.
I do sometimes put a little concealer on really bad blemishes that I know my foundation will need a little extra help with. definitely not always tho.

After! Makes your under eyes and rest of your highlighted areas look brighter :)

After! It just seems you apply more concealer if you see your bare face without foundation.. As in with foundation on it covers most imperfections and concealer Is used lightly

I sometimes do both but usually after. I don't have much dark circles so I conceal just for the highlight effect.

I do it after but what ever works best for you :-)

I do mine after, wherever there is some redness peeking through the foundation, or I have a pesky pimple! <3.

I do before and after but mostly before. I only apply after if I need it.

You can do it either way because your foundation doesn't do under your eyes.

However if it's to concealer you use for your face then always before.

Also the best colour corrector I think is Bobbi Brown corrector and setting power. Love it.
