Do you put your foundation before your concealer, or after?

Question

I always put my concealer on before my foundation but I just recently read that some people actually put it on after their foundation.  Does anyone do this? I'm considering trying it to see if I get better results

Answer

When it comes to skin tones I am the lightest shade available. I use Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chantilly and Benefits Hello Flawless Foundation in Ivory. I've used the concealer both ways. However, I personally feel that using the concealer under my foundation creates a more natural look whereas putting the concealer over my foundation kind of makes me feel like a ghost. Please try to keep in mind that make-up is subjective and you should do what works and looks best for you! For example, for the longest time I had been applying my foundation, concealer and translucent powder with a beauty blender. I tried it both dry and damp. The results were okay. And then one day out of nowhere I decided I'd give brushes a go, and girl it was like tea with an old friend!! Brushes definitely work better for me and more closely achieve the look I want and that I feel looks best on my skin. So bottom line is, try applying it under your foundation one day and over it the next and compare the two to decide which way you like more. Hope this helped!

Isn't it done after foundation..? Foundation is telling you what it is in the name. You put it first and then you put everything else. It's the first step. 
The concealer makes your face look better when it's done after foundation. Just try it once.

If im covering spots ill put it before depending on which concealer im using (color correcting concealers should be under so the color isnt showing) but for brightening under my eyes i do that after foundation. Nowadays i dont wear makeup unless i have a spot then ill dab some concealer on it and continue lol

Update: I'm still not sure which I like better.  The past two days I've put my foundation on before my concealer. It seems like it wears better but I'm not sure.  I do use less concealer now so that's probably good.  I'm just not sure if I think it looks too fake or not.  Yesterday I feel like it did but I think I did it a little better today

Are usually put my concealer on first, then the foundation, then I touch up with concealer again.
