The right order to apply your makeup

This guide is for a girl who does complete makeup.

Everything in this life has order to the way we apply our makeup. After reading this guide you will feel that many things make sense and maybe you'll find out that the order of application influences the duration of certain products.

1. Primer or moisturizer

This is always the first step after having clean skin. Use only one product, either primer or moisturizer, because even if your cream is super light it will modify the effectiveness of the first. Between this step and the next you have to choose a product that has sunscreen.

2. Foundation

It is important you first apply the base before eyes makeupor anything else because if we drop some pigment on clean skin is more difficult to remove. On the other hand, if we already have the skin prepared, it will be easier to fix any imperfections that arise later.

3. Concealer

Remember that the concealer should be only one tone lower than its base. With this in mind, It's important you wait few minutes after applying the foundation before you apply it because the foundation itself corrects many imperfections. Also, apply the concealer only where it is needed. If after applying it you notice that the tones of your skin are unbalanced you can pass the brush with the base again on what you covered with concealer.

4. Powders

The recommendation of the professionals will always be that we use translucent powder to seal the base. Apply it before your eye makeup for the same reason that we have already seen above ... It is much easier to remove bits of leftover translucent powder.

5. Eyes and lips

Once you have a ready face it does not really matter if we go first with the eyes or with the lips, but suppose we do the eyes first:

First-Shadow-Eyeliner-Mascara

Finish your shadow makeup first and then apply the eyeliner. Since it is ready, check if you need to add more shade of some tone or more eyeliner somewhere. Finish with the tabs above and then the bottom ones if you need to.

For the lips:

Primer - liner-Lipstick-Gloss

This is the correct order if we use all these products...

6. Cheeks

Leave the cheeks until the end to have a better vision of what you're is going to do. Remember that we must smile to apply our blush and use a golden tone to define and something more Rosetta or peach to give color.
