Which goes first?

The Queen

Quick question! Concealer, then foundation? Other way around? Im so useless

Also. Can any one recommend a shop/an online store that sells really nice shoes? I want a pair of black heels I can actually walk in!!

Thanks!

Foundation then concealar.. If you do it the other way round you just end up rubbing off the conceler.. Can't really help with the shoe problem though... Try office or schuh maybe?...

Yep, foundation followed by concealer. As for shoes, try Next, Clarks, Dune, Faith, Office, M&S and so on...for comfort, I think Next, Clarks and M&S would probably be your best bet.

umm... i always put a bit of concealer under my eyes first and then foundation, maybe some more concealer and then put it wherever else it needs to go

Yeah.. what they said.

I love Victoria Secrets for buying shoes on line.. soo cheap too, due to the recession-like-state every nation seems to be in.. soo the dollar is worth sweet **** all.

OP what everybody said is sort of right if you are using a liquid (creamy) or a solid (stick) foundation, concealer works well afterwards. It has the same effect as those foundations and will blend well on top. If you are using a cream-to-powder foundation, then it will work best if you apply it first. Then the concealer won't spoil the effect of the powder finish in a small spot, this would make it stand out more but if you feel it's not looking right it might be because of how you're applying it.

After you've put it on you need to set it. To do this don't rub it, lightly tap it with your ring finger (this is your weakest finger) and the heat from your finger activates it and it bonds with the foundation then use a brush to put on your compact powder, never use the pad it just wipes everything off again, the big blusher brushes are great for it and always use a foundation as close to your skin tone as possible and a concealer a shade lighter.

They come in two main colours but loads of shades. Browns, to use on all skin colours and Green is a common but not so well known concealer, that is actually quite useful. Green is use to cover the redness of pimples or redness in the skin.

For pimples use green, apply it to the pimple or red area on the skin and then brush some powder over the top and the pimple will be barely noticeable.

For browns try to go for a shade lighter than you would buy in a foundation. If the part you're trying to cover up is darker than your normal skin colour then a lighter one will help the area blend in with the rest of your complexion. As for types Liquid concealer is best for eyes and dry skin and a thick one(these look like lipsticks) is better for your cheeks and facial area and a solid pencil one or stick on is better for pimples and scars. Whichever type you use always use face powder afterwards, it sets the makeup and prevents rubbing so it'll last longer throughout the day.

A few tips:
For heavy concealers don't apply straight from the pencil/stick, it'll be to thick and obvious, instead take a small dab on your finger or make up brush and apply from there.

Concealer needs to be a little lighter than the foundation, but not too light, because it can look even worse and make the area stand out more.

Always tap on to skin, do not rub in or drag along the skin. (Here's where you use your ring finger)

Day light and artificial light are completely different and concealers, like foundations, or any other make-up really, will look different in both lights in comparison so practice helps to get the right colour.

Green neutralises redness in the skin, if you've really red cheeks or varicous veins green works really well.

Hope that helps
