Applying Brows

SurferWife — Wed, 09 Mar 2022 05:16:27 GMT

At what point in your make-up routine do you apply you brow pencil (or powder or wax or whatever you prefer)? Do you apply it before the rest of your make-up or after or when?

I use powder, and it's applied as my last step before my lipstick.

@SurferWife - 2nd to last. Only blush after- and either Mally's Face Defender or a makeup setting spray.

@SurferWife Always the last step because the brows take over the face if applied earlier and eye shadow (at least for me) comes out too heavy because of that.

My current routine is to apply sunscreen, brow pencil, one neutral eyeshadow, mascara, BareMinerals foundation and lipstick. I do eye makeup first to allow sunscreen to dry a bit before applying foundation.

Since my brows need the extra definition more than my eyes or lips, I usually do them first. I'm looking at overall balance (of my facial features). Any way, I keep everything rather subtle, because I just like a bit of enhancement.

I think this is an interesting question as to the order we apply make-up. Mine has no rhyme or reason...it's just what I do.

Foundation

Bronzer/Blush/Contour

Tightline/Waterline

Mascara on top

Eyebrows...usually use a micro brow pencil

Mascara on bottom

Eyeshadow...just a little as I don't wear much and I apply it with my fingers even though I have a zillion brushes. Weird. 😲

Lipstick

I'm with @Harpa

First

If I use powder esp.

Any fallout can be cleaned up from my face or lashes before I apply foundation or mascara.

I put clear brow gel on after my foundation. I fill my brows with a pencil after it dries. I usually do my makeup except lipstick, mascara, and brow pencil before I get dressed and those items right before I’m out the door.

I use a pressed brow powder (Anastasia). I feather on a very light brow outline first, then make up. I finished with a little loose face powder, finishing that by lightly swiping the face powder brush over my brows. Lastly, I finish filling them out with the brow powder.

I did this by accident one day and realized it gives me a more natural look and it makes the final application cling a little better. My brows are practically non-existent in the first place and the scant bit of powder in between layers really helps.

I use a pomade followed by Gimme Brow. It goes on right after my foundation and any concealer. I also use iT No More Pores patted into the undereye area with a flat brush which eliminates any tackiness in the event of any eye makeup fallout which can then easily be brushed away. I've never had any fallout from my brows though, mostly just eyeshadow.

Interesting reading everyone's responses.

-Foundation

-Brows (have to do them before eye shadow or things look wonky)

-Eye Shadow

-Concealer followed immediately by powder under eyes only. Like to wait until eye shadow done before concealer in case any fallout.

-Eye Liner

-Mascara

-If all powder products: Powder, Bronzer Blush, Highlight

-If cream blush or bronzer: Bronzer, Blush, Powder, Highlight

My brows are 2nd to last, then lipstick. And now that the masks have been lifted it's back to a light but full face makeup. What I miss most is lipstick.

Back to brows, no powder, no pencil. I LOVE the Full Brows 3-in-1 Brow Fiber product that I found here. It's perfect, gently lays down color and fibers to cover the little grey hairs I get as I will not pull them, and fills in my tails beautifully. I love this product, certainly one of the very few I've ever used and it's only $16 which to me is almost a steal. I use the taupe which is also perfect for my med brown brows. Same prince on their own website too.

Hmmmm so crazy I'm having to really think about it - guess I'm on automatic LOL

Okay, it's toward the end before lip then if I need more coloring can adjust.

Next time I'll pay more attention.

I apply ELF Brow Wow right after I do my foundation and concealer. Then when I am done with the rest of my make-up, my final step is using my brow pencil over the gel.
