S/o makeup...a related poll about steps in your routine.

[KateAggie]

I don't want to muck up the makeup post.  I have questions about order.

1.  Concealer before or after eye makeup?  If after, do you do the total eye, and then concealer, or the top of the eye, then concealer, and then the lower lash line?

2.  Eyeshadow. Crease before or after lid?  Inner eye before or after lid?

3.  Concealer before or after foundation?

1. After, otherwise it's too hard to clean up. I do the top of the eye, and then any smudging after I apply concealer on the bottom.

2. After lid, it blends better. Inner eye after as well. You want the base color to be your lid.

3. After

I don't wear concealer.

I do the lid first. I might need to add more color later or I use a neutral/nude color to blend everything together but lid first.

And you can't muck up the makeup thread lol It's impossible at this point.

LOL.  I just figured everyone wouldn't want to scroll through the answers.

Concealer goes on after moisturizer in any spots needing concealing (including under eye). I wear powder foundation, so it gets set with that. When I do just BB or CC cream, concealer goes on after that, and then I set with setting powder.

For eyes, I do all over lid, then highlight brow bone and inner corners, then crease.

ETA: I do eye makeup last regardless of whatever foundation/concealer combo I use. I never have eye shadow fall under my eyes. I use sponge applicators for the all over lid color and highlight, and a brush for the crease color, but any darker colors are applied very carefully and in sheer layers to avoid getting shadow everywhere. I just layer on a bit more for more intense/darker color.

1. Concealer after eyes, but I do my foundation before eyes. I'll do mascara on my lower lash before concealer, but not liner/shadow, those are done after concealer.

2. Depends on my mood. I have no set order because I never have an actual plan.

3. After

[EloiseWeenie]

1. I do eyes and brows first. That way, I can clean up any shadow that fell into my already dark, dark circles.
2. After priming, I do the entire lid in neutral, do a medium tone half way-> the outer edge, then darkest crease, then I go in with lightest color and do my inner eye and just under eyebrow, lastly I put a pretty shimmery shade on the middle of the lid.
3. I do my under eye stuff before foundation, and zit coverage after foundation.

1. after eye makeup. I rarely do anything only lower lash line because it looks weird on me. If I do lower lash line, it's the very last thing I do.

2. Crease after lid because I think it blends better. Inner eye is after lid, but I rarely do this because I suffer from perpetual eye gunk.

3. I don't know about this one. I used to do it before, but after YouTube, I started doing it after. I don't know which one I like better. It looks about the same to me.

Foundation, then concealer. Eyeshadow after primer. Lid color first, above crease color second, then crease.

Before


2. Eyeshadow. Crease before or after lid? Inner eye before or after lid?
Usually after

3. Concealer before or after foundation?
Before


I'm probably doing it all wrong.

Concealer before foundation, foundation before eye makeup. I used to do concealer after foundation, but I find that it seems to last longer and I get better coverage if I do it first. Sometimes I do a second coat touch up after foundation.

I was doing crease after lid, but have seen it done the other way around, and have stared trying that when I remember.

Eta - inner eye - I'm inconsistent in my eye makeup applying order, so whenever I remember.

[dexteroni]

1. Concealer before eye makeup. I've never had a problem with eye makeup getting under my eyes. But I don't line all the way around my eyes so that might account for something.

2. Crease after lid. And I'm not sure I know what inner eye means when it comes to eye makeup. Like the inner tip, near the tear duct? I don't put any eye makeup there.

3. Concealer after foundation. That way you can typically use less and it looks more natural.

[secretlyevil]

1. After, I do: eye make up (except brow), foundation, concealer, blush. highlighter, bronzer, lipstick, brows. This morning I completely forgot concealer and the circles were evident so I ended up doing concealer dead last. Had to touch up my highlighter afterwards. I might try concealer before foundation tomorrow.


2. Crease before lid, easier to blend that way, inner eye last...I think? I can't remember.

3. see #1

 Total eye first, then concealer.


2. Eyeshadow. Crease before or after lid? Inner eye before or after lid?
I used to do lid before crease but I just discovered by accident that I can blend more easily if I do the crease first and then the lid.  Inner eye is last, along with browbone highlight.


3. Concealer before or after foundation?
Before.  If I do it after, it's tougher to blend.

1. Concealer before or after eye makeup? If after, do you do the total eye, and then concealer, or the top of the eye, then concealer, and then the lower lash line?  All eye makeup before foundation and concealer for easy clean up

2. Eyeshadow. Crease before or after lid? Inner eye before or after lid? Lid first then crease, I find it easier to blend.  Inner eyes is last before eyeliner.

3. Concealer before or after foundation? Concealer after foundation.
