I was taught years ago that concealer goes on first- then foundation. I just recently learned that it goes on after foundation! So what's y'all's order of application? Also should setting powder come before or after bronzer/blush or as the last step?

Wow, I always thought concealer went under foundation as well! I guess that's why they call it foundation!

Foundation then concealer
Setting powder then bronzer and blush. :)
It really does come down to personal preference. Idk if there's a right or wrong way.

I've ALWAYS done concealer first, but after reading some things recently, decided to switch it up - I actually prefer the results better when I do concealer after my BB cream (I don't wear foundation). I use cream blush and unusually put that on before my setting powder, but apply any other powders (bronzer, highlighter, etc.) after or last.

I do foundation, then concealer, powder to set, then bronzer, blush, highlighter. I would set foundation before you do blush/bronzer, cause otherwise if you set afterwards you ridk covering up and messing up the colors and placing of thr blush/bronzer. hope that helps. also concealer works better to apply after foundation but only if you make sure to blend out into the foundation so you don't have a noticeable line btw the concealer and foundation, this also helps to act as a highlighter to that area.

If you contour before you put on foundation, it looks more natural.

First week of my art studies??
Conceal, then whatever makeup you are using. The example I was given is; "do you paint a wall before you fix the holes?". Its not very often that I will conceal after makeup application. It happens just not very often.

Moisturize
Prime face (I set with light spray of setting spray)
Prime eyes ( set with setting powder)
Make up( I use all types on myself depending on the day, liquid, cream, powder)
Set with setting powder.
Eyebrows
Eyes
Contour
Blush
Lips
Eyelashes and mascara

Leave time between your foundation/concealer & powder to let the liquid 'cook'
