which way round do you put on your make-up? I've always done it foundation then concealer, but heard recently that it works much better to do it the other way round!?

I dont want to just try it out as my make-up is expensive and running out :( but wanted to know if anyone else does it the other way round, and does it actually work better for covering up blemishes?

I do it the same way as you.

Cant imagine the other way working for me as I apply my foundation with a brush, so surly it would just rub it off or 'move it off' of where I wanted it.

I applied foundation then concealer for years until a make up lady told me should be the other way round.
Do find I get a much better finish this way.

Other way around.

Worth trying....you may find you need less foundation.

Foundation then concealer - else you move / rub off the concealer. Tip given to me by telly make up artist.

Concealer then foundation - it does make you use less foundation - and I don't find it shifts the concealer.

haha so still conflicting opinions :) I think I'll try it the other way round, see what happens!

I use foundation then concealer then set with powder. You could always try a light reflecting concealer such as YSL touch eclat instead if you a concealer is a bit too heavy.
