I watch a lot of beauty gurus on YouTube and some of them use it after foundation. I've always put it on before foundation. Which is the right way?

I put it on after because you can tell where you need it after foundation. Also when you put it on before it can rub off when you apply your foundation.

After!! Don't put it on before!! I can't stress it enough... When you are going to put on your foundation after concealing the concealer will just rub right off!!

Which means you are wasting product, time, and money. But if you are using color correctors like green or yellow concealers ALWAYS put those on before your normal concealer!

Pretty sure its preference and the order doesn't really. If you're covering up blemishes like acne put it on after, to ensure it stays put. I personally do under eye concealer first, foundation, blemishes, and lastly a powder to set it all.

I use the Eclipse Pallet from Coastal Scents, which is a cream based concealer, so I put it on under my foundation so that it looks more natural and blends better. (:

After, just because I use my fingers to put on foundation and then my concealer wipes off if I don't.

I put it on after because that way you don't waste any. If you put it on before foundation you may not have need it the foundation might have been enough to cover everything and then you could just add a little bit where it is still needed :)

Before because that way you won't see the lines or marks created by the concealer as you are masking it with foundation, plus as my concealer tends to change.colour for some strange reason, It helps to cover the strange colour x

After so you can tell what areas need it after your foundation does most of the work for correction

Also if you put it on before then put your foundation on top you will be whipping most of your concealer away when applying your foundation
