Do you put on concealer before or after foundation?
Always apply your foundation all over before applying concealer. Think about it… when you apply foundation first, it covers up a lot of imperfections on its own, cutting down the amount of imperfections you need to go back and spot conceal.
Do you apply foundation on your eyelids?
Never put concealer or foundation on your eyelids as a base, it will cause your eye makeup to crease. Use your fingers to apply your foundation if you want sheer coverage and a brush for medium to full coverage. Prep lids for any eye look with a matte base shadow that matches the lightest part of your face.

Do you put on concealer before contouring?
