Order Of Application Of Foundation And Eyeshadow

Jordan2 — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 16:16:51 GMT

I was reading a blog on do you put your foundation or eyeshadow on first in applying your makeup. Makeup artist are spilt on the order. I have always put my foundation on first, then do my eyes, blush, powder,and a lip product.

Since about 18 foundation first and over the eye, then the eye makeup. Lipstick last.

Foundation first, always for me. Then a shadow primer, then shadow.

I have always put on eye make up first. Otherwise I am putting my hand on my face makeup as I apply eye makeup. I also base the intensity or colors I use for blush or highlight based on my eye makeup. Also don't have to deal with "fall out" of eye makeup on my foundation. I don't think a makeup artist has those same problems in application.

I do my eyes first just in case there's fallout or I mess up.

I do foundation, concealer and powder first. Then I do my eyeshadow, brow gel, liner, mascara and then back to brow pencil. I do my blush after everything else is applied because otherwise I have a tendency to put too much blush on and I look like a clown.

I do the eye area first, then foundation. As other posters have mentioned, clean up can be done around the finished eye and on cheeks to remove any mistakes or flakes. The foundation is then applied for a clean, smudge-free finish.

I would probably put on my foundation first out of habit but it would be better to do eye makeup first incase eye shadow powder ends up around the eyes and mascara too.

@Jordan2

I have always done my foundation and a light dusting of powder first before eye lid primer and eyes.

If you're concerned about shadow fallout, just press a folded tissue under your eye to catch the occasional crumb.

Lol, shows you how little I know. Never knew there was an order for applying foundation or eyeshadow. That's why these boards are so much fun. I learn something everyday.

I do my face first and then my eyes.

I always thought foundation was like the foundation of a house. You put everything on top of it.

@Jordan2

Makeup artists are split on the order? What would be the benefit of putting on eye shadow first and then putting on foundation? Just half kidding here, bu why not put on lipstick first, then foundation?

Back in the day, moisturizer and foundation came first, as a blank canvas for what comes next.

And ... perhaps the key point here .... does it really matter? Sometimes it's just about personal preference, as opposed to "the correct order" of application. JMO, of course.

@Tinkrbl44 I think this was just a fun light-hearted thread. Nothing to be taken too seriously.

Some eyeshadows can have a lot of fallout so people prefer to do their eyes first so the fallout can easily be cleaned off. If you have already applied all your face make-up and you have a lot of fallout from shadow, it could create a mess that doesn't always easily wipe away with a brush.

I see people do their brows first before anything and I don't know how they do that. Mine would be a mess with foundation.

@Jordan2 Hi. Everyone's different. Some women get dressed before makeup so they can co-ordinate eyes or lips. On myself, I prefer skincare first and then, since don't do foundation, I do eyes next. I do lips after shadow and before blush to see that it all evens out.

If someone wears a powder foundation, it's easier to fluff away shadow fallout w/ a large powder brush.

Fun thread.

Funny....I thought everybody put on foundation first. It wouldn't occur to me to work on my eyes first.....

I never do eyes first, as I would get foundation, concealer and powder on my lashes-so I do, foundation, concealer, powder, eyeliner mascara and lips...I don't wear eyeshadow.
