Correct Order To Apply Makeup

I wear:

A liquid foundation

Doll 10 Pink Powder

Doll 10 Cream Blush

 

Do I use in the order listed above OR should it be:

Foundation

Blush

Powder

 

I'm not sure about the order of the powder and the blush. 

 

Thank you!!    Smiley Happy

I do liquid foundation, sometimes primer before but not often, then I use my powder, I then put on eyeline, brow mascara, blush, eyeshadow and another light touch of powder to blend the blush and get any eye shadow that has fallen below eyes.  Then mascara and lip. 

 

I only wear makeup maybe once a week on errands day now.

@BunSnoop Try it both ways & see what you like.

I use Fenty Pro Matte Powder Foundation & I use my cream or liquid blush over that.

I like that my blush doesn't look as matte without powder over it. 

Patrick Ta makes a cream/powder blush set that he does the powder blush first & then the cream.

So you can do it whichever way works best for you.

Re: Correct Order To Apply Makeup

For me, the current routine is:

 

Wash with Cetaphil cleanser, Normal to Dry formula

Apply Alba Botanica Ultra Hydrating Moisturizing Cream

Mix two shades (one drop each, Fair and Medium) of Lumene CC cream

Set with a sheer layer of LG Balance-n-Brighten in LIght

LG blush (Pink Grapefruit)

Ulta eyeliner in Matte Brown

Maybelline Full 'N Soft washable mascara, Very Black

Burt's Bees tinted lip balm

 

So blush after powder.

I do exact opposite, I put eyeshadow on first. That way if I mess  up, and I have to redo it, it doesn't mess up foundation or blush.
