Answer 1

This is how I was taught when I started wearing makeup my mom had a pro teach me

If you are using liquid foundation or a cream foundation then you would put the concealer on after the foundation on places where you need it and always start with a little and if more is need in certain areas add a little at a time till you have concealed the area.

If you are using a cream-to-powder foundation or a powder foundation then you would use the concealer before the foundation and again you would start with a little concealer the add to adjust to the amount needed

Now thats  if your not using mineral makeup cause I don't know about when you put on mineral concealer i think after you mineral fondation

I think Mac cream concealer is the best and has tons of pigment so you end up using less to cover under eyes of any other spot

I hope this helped you out.

It is best to use foundation first, you will probably use less concealer because the foundation will do a lot of concealing for you.  If the concealer is a very different color than your skin tone and foundation, then use the concealer first.  If you are covering up dark circles you should use a peach colored concealer - even though it may not match your skin tone, it will neutralize the dark and brighten the skin where you apply it, so in that case, apply the concealer first so that it doesn't sit on top of the foundation and show.

Answer 3

apply the foundation first, and then the concealer.

Answer 4

Do what works best for you.   When I used liquid drugstore products, I applied concealer first. Now I use better make up, I use bare minerals make up. So I apply my under eye concealer first, then foundation, then dab on some mineral concealer after that. It works best for me that way. I think it depends on the make up you use.

Answer 6

actually, u r supposed to use concealer afterwards so that you use less once you have ur face all based with foundation. then you just use the concealer in the areas that still need after foundation. i used to do it the other way around, but i found its much better this way because i see where i need the concealer after.

i use covergirl invisible liquid concealer $5

very goooood!!
