Then Eye Primer to hold my eyeshadow to true color as well as on

Eye Shadow- brush under or use a q tip to remove "crumbs" of shadow

Liner

Contacts

Mascara

Get dressed

Do hair

Blush  (I don't get blush on my clothes)

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).

*******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.
