I do my foundation first then my brows & eye make up.

I always apply foundation first.  Then the eyebrows, eyeshadow, liner, mascara, blush, and lipstick.  Works for me.

Many makeup artists will start a makeup with foundation first applying around the eyes.  The theory is a lot of people don't need as much concealer as they think they do, and the foundation alone can erase most around the eye darkness.  I'm not a pro, but after applying foundation I generally only use concealer in the inner corner.  Under my eyes only gets a coat of concealer if the area is looking exceptionally tired and dark.  I also will use concealer for special occasion makeup where there will be plenty of photos and videos shot.

If you apply mascara and eyeliner before foundation, you can't get product under your eyes without smudging and destroying the eye make-up.

I do mascara first because of the mess I make.  Clean it up and then foundation and the rest.

I think bottom line is try different orders of application and do what works best for you. I've spent most of my life doing eyes last. But if I remember I now often do eye shadow primer and eyshadow either first or right after primer/foundation. I tend to get eye shadow too far down on the outer edge and it's easier to fix that way (also easier to clean up any fall out below eyes). I do brows, liner and mascara after foundation, concealor, setting powder in the eye area.

I always do my foundation first as I need to even out my skin tone and cover dark circles.

I've always done my eyes first. If any of my shadow dust falls on my cheeks, I can easily wipe it off without ruining my foundation/blush. Makes sense doesn't it.

No, I don't think you are doing it wrong.  I do it the way you do. I am 60 and like you I start with moisturizer, primer, foundation, concealer, brows, contouring...in that order and then I do the eyes/mascara.  Last but not least the blush. Then I take a good final look over and if necessary critique. This way has always worked the best for me.

I honestly don't think there is a right or wrong way in the order of how to do it. I think it is a personal preference in what you like/are comfortable with in how you do it and what works for you..
