Urgent help needed!

Hi all!
I have to go out in less than 2 hours and I tried putting on my new The Body Shop tea tree primer, concealer and foundation and the foundation just peeled off on me! I don't understand why! This has never happened before, I put on my concealer, then the primer and then the foundation, and in the 3rd step the foundation peeledoff in little flakes like skin after a peel! I am out of my other makeup stuff and need help. Why do you think this happened? The foundation is not peeling off my arms so its not a foundation problem, is my guess. May be I reversed the order of concealer and primer?
Could it be because my primer wasn't completely dry before I started applying foundation?
Please help!

Try it again without the primer.

Do it again, but use primer first & give it more time to set.

Happens to me when I either
A. Use too much primer
B. Use too much lotion
C. Didnt let either lotion or primer dry.
And if you are applying your foundation on in a buffing motion it can contribute to it.

I can also happen when there is a buildup up products and their properties aren't the same- oil products or oil free. Or just too much in general is used.

Oh thank you so much ladies! I will try again with the primer first, if it doesn't work only then I will go to the no primer option because my skin is freaking acne-prone and I just can't apply makeup without it or I get a face full of an awful breakout.

Oh, yes I may have overdone the amount of primer! Thanks a lot again all of you!
