Do You Apply Your Foundation or Your Concealer First?

foundation or concealer

When you’re getting ready for apply your base products which do you typically apply first? Foundation followed by concealer or concealer followed by foundation?

I don’t use concealer on my face but I do use it under my eyes so that’s the area I start with first. I apply my concealer under my eyes and I apply Benefit Lemon-Aid on my lids. After that I apply my foundation.

What about you?

Which is first?

Do share your application technique and why you do it that way!

NYX Hydra Touch Brightener1

NYX Hydra Touch Brightener ($8.99) is a new NYX Spring 2016 release available in three shades selections. Crayons like this are becoming increasingly popular due to the contouring craze at the moment. Basically this is a water-based formula that instantly illuminates skin and adds a touch of radiance wherever you apply it.
