Let's get right to it, foundation comes before concealer when you're applying makeup. According to Free Bunni, foundation is the base layer of makeup that "creates a smooth canvas" for the rest of your makeup. Whether you're wearing a powder, liquid, or cream foundation, you want to apply it first and work your way up from there in order to get a flawless finish.
As Charlotte Tilbury points out, you should also start with a bottom layer of primer or, at the very least, moisturizer to your face before foundation. "The most popular way to use a primer is before your foundation, and this is a fantastic method of creating a smoother-looking canvas," the Charlotte Tilbury site says. "As the skincare ingredients treat your complexion, the smoothing makeup will create silky soft feeling skin that helps your face makeup glide on effortlessly."
Even if you're not using primer, foundation before concealer is the way to go. Free Bunni suggests using foundation and concealer as your first two steps in makeup altogether. The concealer, which is aptly named, conceals all those blemishes or dark spots that you may have, so you want it to sit brightly over the darker foundation.
