Application order for makeup

Rachb — Sun, 14 Feb 2016 11:44:28 GMT

I watch a lot of demos on YouTube and see a lot of variations in terms of order of application. What strikes me as particularly interesting is those who apply eye makeup before anything else. On the sporadic occasions when I apply eyeliner, I hold my lid taught from the outer corner, and I end up rubbing some foundation and shadow off. So I might just try applying me eye makeup before foundation, or anything else. Does anyone else do this? Here's my ususal order of application...

primer
eyeshadow primer
foundation
setting powder (if I used liquid foundation)
blush
eyeshadow
eyeliner (very rarely)
finishing powder (don't always use)
mascara
lipstick or lipgloss

I always thought the term "foundation" was just that. First. Includes primers, of course. I don't understand the application of eye makeup first either. Certainly not how I do it.

Here's the order I use:

* Moisturizer

* Foundation or Tinted Moisturizer

* Blush

* Finishing power (not always)

* Spritz with Rosewater

* Eyebrow pencil

* Eyeliner

* Eyeshadow (not always)

* Mascara

* Lipgloss

Interesting that you do eyeliner before eyeshadow. I'm not very experienced with liner so I'm up for trying it any way that works!

Here's the order I use:

Moisturizer

Brow Pencil to fill in spots

Primer to face

Primer to eyelids and brow area

Eye liner to lower lid area

Eye shadow

Eye liner to upper lid area

eyelash curler

primer to lashes

mascara

foundation to face

blush

lipliner

lipstick

lip gloss

I do the eye shadow first before the foundation because sometimes the powder falls below the eye onto the upper cheek. If a primer is used on the face, it just brushes off and no color is seen on the cheek area (from the eye shadow).

Concealer above and below eye

Foundation

If it's a liquid foundation, sometimes I follow with a little powder

Eyebrow pencil

Eyeshadow

Eyeliner

Mascara

Blush

Lip ointment

Lipstick and/or Gloss

I would apply brow pencil after I did my primer otherwise it might smear all over the place

@I am still oxox

I use the Urban Decay brow beater pencil to fill in areas and this pencil doesn't smear for me.

I do liner as the last eye makeup step, after mascara. I always get a little mascara smudged on my upper lid. It's faster and easier for everyday purposes to make the smudge look deliberate by blending liner over it instead of trying to take just that bit off.

*******You can also hold a piece of toilet tissue folded in half under your bottom lashes to catch powder that falls.

Also, you tend to keep more powder eye products on with a sponge applicator but I still tap first.

My most basic:

1) moisturizer

2) sunscreen

3) brows

4) blush

5) lippie

Just missing any eye makeup.

(but my dark-framed eyeglasses help, thankfully!)

SPF

eyeshadow primer

face primer

shadow

liner

foundation

concealer

brows

blush/bronzer

lashes

powder

lips

as you can see, I skip around to various areas of the face. I like to give my products a minute or so to "set" before applying something on top of it and possibly disturbing it.

I have a real basic routine for makeup application for everyday wear:

SPF (including on eyelids)-->Foundation or BB cream/TM--> eye primer--->eye shadow--> mascara-->eye liner (rarely ever for me too)--->lipgloss

I can't see there being any advantage of doing your eye makeup before foundation. Seems kind of strange order but I don't put foundation on my eyes so?

I always always always do my eye makeup first. I put on foundation primer, eyeshadow primer, then eyeshadows. I do that because of the fallout that occurs. Even just a little bit. Then, i follow with concealer, foundation, finishing powder. Then i go back and finish my eyes (eyeliner and mascara). Then my brows and blush to finish

I'm going to try doing my eyes before foundation. Just to mix things up a bit.

Everyone I know or have known puts foundation on first. I'm 55, so less is more these days. After my primer, I apply my foundation. Then a little concealor on a couple of trouble spots. Blend...blend..blend. I don't use any powder on my face. I don't use eyeliner either, I don't have large eyes and liner "closes" my eyes and makes me look old and mean. Sometimes, I use a neutral eyeshadow; I always use lots and lots of mascara. Lipstick or lipgloss is always the final step.

For special occasions, &/or when I want my eyes & face to turn out pristine without a bunch of extra work, eye makeup application is the first step.

It works out great once you get the hang of it.
