I never really been big on blush but I recently purchased a rare beauty blush. My question do I apply the blush after setting my concealer or do I apply the blush then set my concealer?

    I always apply ALL liquid/cream products first, before applying any powdery ones. Otherwise things get weird and cakey.

        I saw a cool technique from a makeup artist: When you apply foundation, apply to the back of your hand, and then apply from your hand to your face with your brush or sponge. Then, mix a drop of the rare beauty blush into the leftover foundation on your hand, mix it with your sponge and blush and then apply if to your face.

        I have the rare beauty liquid blush and it’s AMAZING (i have oily skin and creams just melt off), but totally easy to go overboard accidentally. I usually “dot” one finger and the poke both cheeks to blend, but it’s hard to get it right. The technique I saw looked much smoother and had a nice finish that matched the makeup.

        I set my whole face with loose powder afterwards (and I have been known to set liquid blush with powder blush because I am a blush addict)

    All liquid/cream first, then powder. Also, if you overdo the blush (because those Rare Beauty ones are hella pigmented), you could always get a tiny bit of foundation or concealer on a beauty blender/sponge to take away some of the intensity. That has worked well for me in the past!
