So 16 yo dd wanted to do my makeup last night and she did foundation, then dabbed some concealer on top here and there.
I always do it opposite and I swear the girl at Ulta also put concealer on first when I was there recently.
So the big question concealer under foundation or over foundation?

Over. Otherwise, when you put foundation on you rub the concealer away. Primer, foundation, concealer, then setting powder.

I agree, it's concealer over the top of foundation.

I swear I just read that somewhere within the past week or so and I've always done concealer first.

I use concealer under my foundation. I use a cream type concealer and bare minerals foundation. The cream doesn't work well over the powder.

It depends...
If there are no wrinkles around the eyes then its foundation first.
If there are fine lines and wrinkles then its concealer first preceded by a light moisturizer.

Over - once you have foundation on you can just add it to the areas that need a little extra help.

I do it over, to cover up what the foundation did not. It seems like you would rub off some of the concealer if you put it on before, making it not conceal as much. Makes more sense to me.

I color correct under foundation, conceal over.

To me, I wouldn't know where I need concealer unless I apply and blend foundation first. Then I only put concealer in the spots I feel foundation didn't adequately cover. I always give the foundation a chance to do the job first and then I add concealer only if necessary.

I use a tinted CC cream first, then concealer under eyes, primer on eyelids.

Tomorrow I am going to do it over and see if it makes any difference.

I moisturize, dap on concealer with ring fingers and then blend it with brush in a pouncing motion, and then apply my Bare Minerals. I try very carefully not to use powder of any sort underneath my eyes, so I don't accentuate those pesky fine lines.

If you're doing a full face of foundation, over works better at not being removed.
If you're just doing a few areas that need extra and then just lightly wipe a bit of foundation around to blend in the areas, I'm not so sure it matters that much.
When I put on foundation around areas that I've used concealer, I dab it, not rubbing it around.
It also depends on how close the concealer is to my foundation colour. I'm a hard match, and sometimes a little lighter concealer can better conceal the red of acne and the foundation better evens out the colour.
ETA: and when you do concealer under your eyes, do upside down triangles, so you don't get racoon eyes. I can't tell you how many women I see that look like that--I think creamy concealer can look lighter than a lot of foundations--plus the skin under the eyes doesn't have as much colour as the cheeks, which is where the colour is matched.
I use the Yves St Laurent Touche Eclat pen and do triangles. It blends right in, and many times I don't need foundation at all. It also works as a highlighter when I rub it on top of my cheekbones.

Color correct under, concealer over. Unless you do powder foundation, then all creams go under powder foundation.

I've always done it under. Tomorrow I am going to do it over and see if it makes any difference. I recently had my makeup done and they definitely told me to put it on first. I use a colour corrector and a concealer before foundation. I might try it on half my face and see if there is much difference!
