Correct Order of Makeup Application : Step by Step Guide

Step By Step Guide of Applying Makeup 
 

1. Skincare 

Cleanse your face to remove oil, dirt, and leftover makeup so your skin is fresh and ready. Then apply moisturizer to hydrate the skin and help makeup blend smoothly without clinging to dry patches.

2. Primer 

Use primer as needed. This is great to smooth texture, control oil, or help makeup last longer. Specially when you are planning for your makeup lasting all day as in weddings, clubbing, prom, & etc.

3.  Color Corrector 

Apply color corrector only where needed to neutralize darkness or balancing your skin before foundation. Lightly dust on setting powder over the color corrector. This will allow the color stay put instead of color correcting the foundation .

4. Brows

Brows are crucial steps to frame the face and structure to the face. 

5. Eye primer 

You can use eye primer or concealer to prime the eyes to let your eyeshadow to have base allowing your makeup to stay put.

6. Eyeshadow 

Honestly, this is a personal opinion. You can do eye shadow before or after your base. I prefer doing the eyes first to prevent any fallout on to your finish work and easy clean up. This includes mascara & lashes.

7. Foundation

Apply foundation or skin tint in thin layers and tap to melt into your skin.

8. Contour  

Contour to give your face natural shadows with a cool tone shade that (2-3 darker than your foundation shade).

9. Liquid Bronzer  

Pick a shade 2-3 times darker than your foundation shade apply on top of wear you place your contour to create warmth back into the skin.

10. Liquid Blush  

Place the liquid bush above your bronzer on your cheeks. Liquid blush helps with longevity of blush for long lasting finishing 

11. Concealer 

Use concealer that is 2-3 shades lighter to brighten under the eyes and spot-conceal blemishes with a tapping motion. If you go brighter, use your regular concealer product to avoid grey cast underneath your makeup.

12. Setting Powder   

Set makeup lightly with powder only where needed, such as under the eyes and the T-zone. Lightly set your face before baking. 

13. Powder Bronzer  

Powder bronzer sets the liquid bronzer to stay in place.

14. Powder Blush  

Powder blush sets the liquid blush to create longevity to bring color back into the skin.
