Concealer: before or after foundation?

[MACGoddess]

Just to add my two cents, I always add concealer after foundation... It tends to run away if I add it before the foundation, plus I can see where it needs to go, and where the foundation didn't cover if I apply it afterwards...

Try using a concealer brush and blending the concealer into the skin, that might help disguise it more... Or you mgiht even try mixing the concealer with your foundation to see if that makes the color match your skin a bit better...

Thanks!!! I never thought that if I put the concealer before the foundation it tends to run away!!! Maybe I 'll have to think buying brush for the concealer! Which one do you use??

I use it after.. but i have 2 different concealers. One for under-eye which would be a shade lighter & one for spots which is around the same colour as my skin tone

Oh so does everyone do that? Use 2 different concealers? I was actually wondering about that. So should I be using 2 shades, 1 for eyes and 1 for face blemishes?

I use my concealer after my foundation as i find i tend to use less.

thanks for the tip...btw, do they recommend to do this on BB´s website?

When i got the BB concealer kit, i was told by the BB MA to do it the same way as you Andrea - foundation first and the corrector and concealer.It's weird how different MA's for the same company tell you to do different things!!

You could even use a wedge sponge too to pat it on. After that I apply the transulent powder.
