Makeup question

[snipsnsnails]

Do you put your eye makeup on before or after your foundation/concealer?

[notoriousmeg]

Before. I have done a few work events with makeup artists and they all have said fo it before so if any falls you can clean it up before you do the rest of your face. I do occasionally mess up the mascara in my bottom lashes, so I found that tip helpful.

[sporky]

I always do my face makeup before my eye makeup. It's easier for me to clean up any mistakes that way, since I'm apparently sloppier with my foundation application than my shadow application.

[bonquiqui]

It depends. Usually after, but if I know there is going to be fallout from the shadow, before!

[sofamonkey]

After. I use the foundation as kind of my eyelid primer. That’s probably wrong, so idk.

[bugandbibs]

After. I don’t have a problem with fallout and I feel like concealer application would mess up my eyeliner.

I do it after. I don’t think I’ve ever thought to try the other order. Haha

Before when I'm wearing makeup. So, not since March since I'm exclusively mascara and cherry chapstick now.

Oh, and I have taken to tinting my eyebrows so they actual show up on video conference. With Maybelline stuff I buy on Amazon.

after

I always do foundation first. I’ve never had my shadow “fall” though. The few times it has I don’t use it or return it

[Jalapeñomel]

I put some foundation on my eyelids as a light primer.

I did not know everyone didn’t do this!

After, although I've mostly been skipping eyeshadow in quarantine. Brows and mascara are it for video conferences.

But if I do wear it, Monistat chafing gel for primer, Dr. Jart BB cream, loose powder, UD primer potion on my lids, shadow. Mascara after shadow. I don't have fall out with this order.

After.

If I'm wearing eyeshadow (a rare event since March) always before my foundation. Even when I don't think I'll have fallout a quick swipe under my eyes with a Q-tip dipped in eye makeup remover almost always shows that there's at least some color under there.

I do not wear foundation, but put under eye concealer before eye makeup.

[lolalolalola]

Huh. It never actually occurred to me not to go foundation first. I mean it’s in the name ;-)

I put foundation on my eyelids too.

I haven’t really worn makeup since covid though...
