Commentaire sur Nida 6:10
כֹּל הַטָּעוּן בְּרָכָה לְאַחֲרָיו, טָעוּן בְּרָכָה לְפָנָיו. וְיֵשׁ טָעוּן בְּרָכָה לְפָנָיו וְאֵין טָעוּן בְּרָכָה לְאַחֲרָיו:
Toute [action] qui nécessite une bénédiction après elle nécessite une bénédiction avant elle. Mais il peut y en avoir une qui nécessite une bénédiction avant elle, mais qui ne nécessite pas une bénédiction après elle.
Bartenura on Mishnah Niddah
ויש שטעון ברכה לפניו ואין טעון ברכה לאחריו – such as ritual fringes/Tzizit, and Tefillin/phylacteries and Mezuzah, Shofar, Sukkah and Lulav, that we recite a blessing upon them before doing/performing them, but they don’t require a blessing afterwards.

English Explanation of Mishnah Niddah
Whatever requires a blessing after it requires one before it;
But there are things that require a blessing before them and not after them.
One must recite a blessing before eating anything, even of the smallest amount. One also must recite a blessing before the performance of a mitzvah. But in both of these cases, there is no blessing recited after.
However, anything that one blesses after it, such as a sufficient portion of food, one would certainly have to bless before it as well.
